HollowSMP is a Survival plus server that feels like a chill long term world. It runs on Java 1.21.10 and also lets Bedrock players join so more friends can play together.
The gameplay is mostly normal survival with some quality of life stuff. Spawn is protected and it gives healing and food so new players can get started without getting wrecked. There is anti grief and anti cheat so people cannot just ruin your builds.
The server has built in proximity voice chat so you can actually talk to people who are near you in game. There are tabs and leaderboards and good moderation tools but there is no pay to win which makes it feel fair.
The End is open and the end cities are still fresh and not all looted so you can explore and gear up there. PvP is not the main focus but there is a dragon egg system. If you hold the egg you get buffs but you also become a PvP target and people can see you so it creates random fights. If you do not like PvP you can mostly avoid it and just build and explore.
The community feels active and pretty relaxed. It is a good place if you want to build cool stuff hang out and sometimes jump into PvP when you feel like it.
