Hydro SMP is a long term vanilla survival world that feels really stable and safe. The server stays fully vanilla but uses some performance mods and staff tools so it runs super smooth and griefing gets stopped fast.

The community is pretty big and active with players who have been around for years and also new people still joining. Decisions about the server are made by community votes so everyone actually has a voice and it feels fair.

There is a strict no griefing and no cheating rule. Staff can roll back damage and check what happened so builds stay protected. It really feels like a place where you can build something huge without worrying that it gets ruined.

The server uses a custom resource pack to add things like custom hats signs and banners. These are just visual and do not change gameplay so it still plays like normal vanilla Minecraft.

There are also some extra features like a live map of the world so you can see the current season from a browser. The server runs on strong hardware in Germany for high performance and stable TPS so big projects and many players still run fine.

If you want a long running vanilla survival SMP with a serious grief free rule set and community decisions this server is made for that.
