AussieSMP is a survival server hosted in Sydney and it feels like a small chill world where people actually know each other. It is whitelisted so you have to send in an application before you can join. This helps keep out griefers and people who do not fit the server vibe so builds feel safe and the community stays friendly.
The gameplay is mostly vanilla and the owner really tries not to change core mechanics like villagers or terrain. There are a few quality of life things like teleport commands and ways to protect your stuff so you do not have to worry as much about griefing.
The server also has features that make trading between players easier. There is a shopping area with player made shops and diamonds are used as the main currency so the economy feels simple and clear. If you want totally pure vanilla this is not it but if you like survival with a light economy and teleports it fits really well.
Because the server is hosted in Australia players from Australia and New Zealand usually get really good ping. People from other parts of the world can still join but their ping might be higher and time zones might make it a bit quiet sometimes. Overall it feels like a relaxed survival place that is always looking for new players who want to be part of the community.
