This is a server that really feels like it is made by the players. It is called All Outta Blocks and it is an 18 plus Java only whitelist SMP. When I joined I noticed the server is focused on a Hermitcraft style survival world with people building together and trading.

The community is pretty active. There can be around 5 to 20 people on in a day and there are about 80 players in the community. It feels like most people know each other and they like to talk and work on projects.

The world is mostly vanilla and they try to keep the normal Minecraft feeling. They only add plugins that are cosmetic or quality of life or just for fun. The players can suggest plugins and they vote on them as a community. So the server changes only when the players want it to.

There is a diamond based economy with a shopping district. People build shops and buy stuff using diamonds. There are also public builds and big projects that anyone can help with.

One of the coolest things is proximity chat. Most players use it and it makes the world feel alive because you can hear people when you get close to them in game. It really fits the community centered style of the server.

The server is for adults only so you have to be 18 or older and you have to get whitelisted before you can play.
