EchelonMC is a fully custom SMP that tries to feel different from all the usual copy paste survival servers. The owner uses custom coded features and listens to player feedback so the server keeps getting updated and changed.

The server has auto pathing that lets you create paths just by walking and you get a speed bonus when you use them. You can turn this on or off. There is a currency called Echelites that you earn just by playing and you can spend it on progression and utilities.

Land claiming is more advanced than normal. You can see visual borders and set things per chunk like anti grief options mob settings TNT fire spread raids and fluid protection. There are public chunks where people can publish their builds for others to visit and they can earn from visitors and climb rankings.

You can also make teams invite your friends show off team nametags and use team utilities. When you die a grave spawns with your items for a limited time and you can use back to help recover after teleports.

The server has voting with rewards and a spawn hub with custom NPCs and useful stuff. Discord chat is linked in game and there are anti X ray protections. Everything is made to be non pay to win and built to evolve with the community.
