The Lab is a vanilla style SMP that just started a new season and this time it is all about skyblock. It feels like a pretty pure Minecraft experience because everything is still vanilla but they use a skyblock setup so the whole world is basically the void.
From what I saw they use some tweaks so that every resource in the game is still possible to get. So even though you start in the sky you can still work toward getting all the normal stuff over time. The focus seems to be on building up from almost nothing and creating a whole world together.
The server is running on version 1.21.11 and it is hosted in Germany. There is no world border right now so the world can expand as people play and explore.
The vibe is like a group of people who like vanilla survival but wanted a different challenge this season. You join up and slowly grow your sky island and help shape the server world with everyone else.

This server is called WithTheCat Community and it has been running for more than 13 years. It is a small but very close group of people who like modded Minecraft and expert style packs. They care a lot about friendship and long adventures that last a long time.
The server runs in Finland on strong hardware with an i5 13500 and a lot of RAM and fast NVMe storage. Right now they host Stone Block 4 and Vault Hunters plus their own custom modpack called WithTheCat Second Edition.
Joining is different from most places because there is no boring form to fill out. Instead they want you to write about yourself. New players write at least 300 words about who they are and what they like. If you have a friend already in the community you can write at least 50 words. They want to know your name your age and your interests so they can see who will fit with the group.
The people here act more like a family than random players. They like talking about games and building long term memories together. They do not force you to talk about your real life if you do not want to. You can just talk about gaming and Minecraft. The server is for players who want a mature and steady place where every build and every run in a modpack becomes part of a shared story.

Sunset Retreat SMP is a seasonal vanilla plus survival server that is made for players who are 18 and older. It is based in the EU and it feels pretty chill and relaxed. The whole point is to escape real life stress and just play Minecraft with other adults.
The server is whitelisted and it has a mature and inclusive community. People seem friendly and it looks like a good place to meet new friends and hang out. The owners are active and they actually play on the server while they keep things updated and managed.
The gameplay is vanilla plus which means it is mostly normal survival but with some quality of life stuff. It has voice chat support and things like mob and player heads. There is also bedrock compatibility so more people can join and it has a map you can use called Pl3xMap.
Sunset Retreat has a diamond based economy. Players can make their own shops and trade items and services using diamonds which makes the world feel more alive. There are also Christmas events running so there is extra stuff to do during the holiday season.
If you want a calm place to play survival with other adults and do seasons and events this server fits that really well.
