I found EchelonMC and it feels like a survival server that actually cares about staying around. It is hand built by the owner and it has been worked on for months with updates every week. They say it is made from scratch and it is not a copied setup.
It is a custom survival world focused on long term building real progression and a strong community. It is hosted in Canada. There is no pay to win and they do not plan to reset the main world.
You earn a currency called Echelites just by playing like mining farming fishing exploring and building. There is advanced land claiming with visual borders and lots of settings so big builds stay safe. There are teams with member tools and team chat.
There is also a path system where walking can form paths and give speed bonuses if you want it on. You can list public builds so people can visit vote and climb rankings for rewards. If you die your stuff goes into a timed grave with recovery rules.
EchelonMC Is Built For The Long Run
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Towny Factions SMP With McMMO
I found ArcticMC and it is a new SMP that started just a couple days ago. It feels chill and more relaxed than the loud chaos servers.
The main idea is Towny with factions so you can build a town claim land make friends and alliances or try to take territory for yourself. PvP matters here and they use an honor system that is explained in their Discord rules.
It also has McMMO skills so you level up as you play and unlock special abilities like the woodcutting one. There are custom items too and they even have furniture that is entity based so they plan a per chunk limit to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks realistic with big mountains and valleys and lots of cool places to build. The community is meant to be calm friendly and atmospheric so you can grind build or just vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTwix SMP Chill Vanilla Builders
Twix SMP is a Java server that is all about building and chill vibes. It is a vanilla server with a few quality of life tweaks that just make building feel nicer.
The server is based in the EU but there are people from different places too so you do not have to be from Europe to join. Everyone seems pretty relaxed and focused on long term worlds and cool builds.
PvP is not allowed so you do not have to worry about getting randomly killed while you work on your base. It feels more like a calm place to hang out than a sweaty server.
There is an event manager team that runs events on a regular basis so there is always something fun going on. The community feels active growing and very welcoming to new players who want to stick around.
If you like building and chilling with people who think the same way this server is made for that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
