This is a server called Rattata SMP and it is made to feel really close to normal Minecraft. It is run on paper and lets both java and bedrock players join. The world is set to hard so it is not super easy and you kind of have to know what you are doing.

The community is 18 plus and it started as a group of friends. Now they are looking for more people who just want to play survival and hang out. It feels calm and mature and you can tell they care about having a chill group instead of chaos.

The rules are very simple. Do not grief and use common sense. There are no teleports no custom loot and no fancy world generation. It is just basic vanilla survival. There is a live map you can look at and only a third of the players online need to sleep to skip the night.

The server uses a whitelist so you have to apply before you can join. Once you get in you can build with others and be part of a small survival community instead of a giant random server.
