Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java server on 1.21.11 and it is whitelisted so the community stays respectful and fun.
It feels like a tight knit place with players from all over who like to build together and work on big community projects. If you are a builder an explorer a redstone person or you just want to vibe you will fit in.
The server uses Ledger so grief and theft can be checked out which helps keep builds safer. There is BlueMap so you can see the world live. There is Simple VoiceChat for talking in game and an AudioPlayer for custom audio.
They also have dragon elytra drops and a custom resource pack with cosmetics trophies and event rewards with a HermitCraft inspired theme. Events happen too like PvP fights build contests and big server projects.
