GoblinSMP is a fully vanilla survival server on Java 1.21.11 and it feels way more lively than most survival servers.
The big idea is the world stays compact so people actually run into each other. The world border starts at 200,000 by 200,000 and it expands over time so early game stays busy but you can still go long term.
There are no claims or protection mods so everything is player driven. You can build team trade or get into conflict and it is all up to the players.
The rules are simple and focused. No hacked clients and no exploits.
