RigoloSMP is a vanilla survival server that has been around for years and it feels like a chill place to play.
Right now they are running a mini season with a smaller world border that gets bigger every Friday. It is meant to rebuild the community after the server was offline for a bit. They plan to do a full season later with a bigger border again.
The server is vanilla style but with a few plugins that do not change gameplay. There is simple voice chat for people who like to talk. There are custom music discs and goat horns and also an online map so you can see the world. They use a plugin to check what happened to blocks and they have a trading card plugin this season instead of mob heads.
Donator perks are free during this mini season which is pretty cool. The End is planned to open on January 15th so everyone can get ready for that. The owner is trying hard to bring back the old energy and wants new players and old players to join.
There is even free iron in the community house for new players so starting out is easier. It feels like a server for people who want a simple survival world and a friendly group to play with.
