The Perch is a Java SMP that is built to feel like a real Minecraft home with no resets. It tries hard to stay friendly and keep things away from toxicity and drama.
The server listens to what players want. People can share ideas through suggestions and tickets and they also do feedback forms twice a month. Changes get posted in weekly change logs and there are monthly events to get everyone playing together.
It keeps a strong survival feel so it does not feel bloated. Features are made to be easier to use and more balanced and you can toggle off anything you do not like. They also care a lot about farms and redstone working like they do in the base game.
There is a playtime ranking system where you unlock perks just by playing. The economy is meant to be fair and balanced and there are lots of player run shops. There are also small gameplay tweaks and a web map that shows all worlds. The listed version is 1.21.11.
