Solterra is a small survival server where people mostly build and chill. It has around 26 active players daily so it feels social but not huge.
It uses Towny so you can claim a place and work on a town with others. There are Jobs and mcMMO too so you can level up while you play and keep progressing.
The economy is player driven and there is also a server shop for blocks you cannot naturally get in game. They also just added PyroFishing and a lot of people are really into it.
There is a free progression system with new nature themed rank tiers. If you like collecting stuff there are over 100 plushies to find.
It is not really a PvP server but there is a duel arena if you want to fight. They also run on dedicated hardware now so ping is solid for NA and EU and it supports Java 1.21 with multi version support. There is also a Valentines day event with items you can buy using in game money.
