The Anchor is a survival SMP that is trying really hard to treat players seriously and actually listen to feedback. The whole point is that changes get talked about so the community feels seen by staff.
It has cross play so Java and Bedrock players can join together. The overworld is meant to never reset so your progress stays.
There is a playtime based rank system with big gaps between ranks. Claims matter a lot here because builds are protected and claimed areas cannot be griefed. After you hit the second rank your claims become permanent.
There is also a tag system that a lot of regulars like. You can earn keys by voting or using the vote shop then open a crate for one of 42 unique tags shown next to your name. The server also talks about trading tags later on.
