I found a survival server that tries to feel like classic Minecraft again. It is on hard difficulty and keep inventory is off so dying matters.
It keeps plugins simple. You get stuff like spawn and sethome and night skipping but it does not go way beyond that.
There are no land claims so you can just play and explore. The server leans on trust and community but griefing and cheating are not allowed.
Trading is a big deal here. People use raw gold as money and there is a player shopping area.
The rules are clear. No hacks or x ray and no removing lava fog. Do not mess with other peoples builds or entities and give bases some space. Most big duping is banned but a few single item dupes like rails and string are allowed. Hate speech is not allowed.
It supports Java and Bedrock. The version listed is 1.21.11 and it runs on Purpur. The server is hosted in Virginia in the United States.

HoneyBlossom SMP is a vanilla plus survival server for 18+ players that wants Minecraft to feel fun again. It is cross play for Java and Bedrock and it is built around a friendly group that actually talks to each other and helps out when you ask questions.
The server has no resets and it is hosted on the US east coast but players come from all over. The vibe is positive and welcoming and it is LGBT+ friendly. They use plugins that add quality of life but still keep the game feeling like normal Minecraft.
You can use claims to protect your stuff and there is player teleport plus one home. There are separate resource worlds including a Nether resource world. You also get night vision and there is a pvp toggle so you can keep it chill if you want.
It supports Simple Voice Chat and the server runs events like End events for new players and a Valentines build event. They also just updated to Mounts of Mayhem and they are planning even more events and new ideas for pvp. Verification is done through Discord.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
