BareBonesMP is a Minecraft server that feels like the good old days. It's got a classic vibe with a close community. People say it's like Hermitcraft. There's a vanilla server with cool plugins that make things better and a modded server if you want something different. They have events every weekend and even mayor elections every month.

The server runs all the time and there's no lag which is great. They have a Discord where everyone hangs out and chats. You can use voice chat if you want to talk to people nearby in the game. The map was reset recently so it's fresh and new. If you like a friendly community and fun events, this might be the server for you.
