This server is made by a dad who really likes computers but does not really play Minecraft. His kid is 11 and asked for a server with jobs money shops auctions pvp and raiding. So the dad learned how to host a container and used some help and now the server is up with a bunch of mods.

The owner wants other dads and big brothers and older players to join and help test things like permissions and plugins and also help build cool areas and make the world look interesting.
The vibe is very chill and relaxed and he said he is never going to charge for anything. Most things are allowed as long as you keep it reasonable. It is hosted in the UK and right now it can probably handle around 20 to 40 players. The owner is open to upgrading the hardware later if it grows. It feels like a small friendly place where family players can hang out fight a bit and help shape the server together.
