ShadowMC is a survival server that sticks close to vanilla but makes it harder and smoother at the same time. It is made for builders and explorers who want a fresh start and long seasons.
The world is custom generated so it feels new and it is still about real survival. There are quality of life changes like TreeChop and fast leaf decay plus proximity chat.
Crafting is changed with extra recipes like turning rotten flesh into leather and making name tags. The Eye of Ender recipe is harder so getting to the end takes more work.
Griefing is banned and creepers do not break blocks so your builds stay safe. You can also vote to unlock crates and win items. There is a better mending system too where you crouch and right click to repair tools using your XP bar.
It supports both Java and Bedrock.

Gallant is a semi vanilla survival server that tries to keep the normal Minecraft feel while adding a few small quality of life tweaks.
There is no whitelist application. You join their Discord. You link your user. Then you can jump in and play.
They focus a lot on keeping your stuff safe with backups. They also have grief protection and inventory snapshots.
You can protect chests with a sign. You can vein mine ores by sneaking. Creepers do not damage blocks and phantoms do not spawn. Minecarts go faster. The server can pick the best tool for the job and it can auto refill your hand while building.
They also have a Dynmap so you can check the world from a map view.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
