This server is called HoneySMP and it is a small tight knit group that wants more players who actually stick around. It feels like a place where you can stay for a long time and not just hop in and out.
The whole vibe is about community. At spawn they have a community chest area where you can take what you need and leave what you do not need so new players can get started easier. They also run weekly events like Elytra races and something custom called Honey Heist where everyone jumps into voice chat and plays together.
There is no pay to win here. You can earn everything just by playing including ranks and keys. Instead of normal crate stuff they use a key forging system where you combine keys and try to upgrade them into better ones.
The server has a player run economy so you can sell things from your farms and run your own shop if you want. It works on both Java and Bedrock so friends on PC consoles and phones can all join the same world.
If you like building redstone or just exploring this server wants people like you. It feels like a cozy SMP where you are not just a number and you can actually get to know everyone.

The whole point is creativity and working together. Players help shape how the world looks and even how the server is run. It is survival so you still have to gather stuff and stay alive but it is more about building cool bases and community projects than just grinding.

This is a survival server that feels really old school. It was started in 2020 when the owner and some friends wanted Minecraft to feel simple again. A lot of servers had confusing plugins and land claim systems and it ruined the basic survival vibe. On this server you just play normal survival without claim blocks or weird menus.
The world runs on hard difficulty so it is actually a challenge. Mobs hit hard and you have to think before you go out at night. There is an item based economy so players trade with actual stuff instead of weird custom money. The plugins are only small quality of life things so the game still feels like normal Minecraft.
The staff is pretty hands off so they do not hover over you all the time. The community is small but active and has been around for a while so it feels steady. There is also a discord community where people talk and hang out.
The server is on version 1.21.x and it supports both Java and Bedrock players by using a special port. The host machine is in Texas in the United States so players in that region usually get good connection.

This server is called The United SMP and it is a semi anarchy world where everything feels a little unstable in a fun way. You can live out those crazy smp dreams and basically try to take over the whole place with your friends.
Everyone gets a starter kit so you can jump into pvp fast and not spend forever punching trees. There are massive builds placed around the map with really op loot and gear so exploring is actually worth it and it makes events way more intense.
The server has proximity voice chat so talking and yelling during fights feels more real. There are temporary death bans so dying actually matters and makes battles stressful in a good way. It is crossplay on both Java and Bedrock so more people can join and play together.
