Stormy Lagoon is a long term SMP that lets Java and Bedrock players play together. The server feels focused on fair progression and it says there is no pay to win since ranks and perks can be earned.
It has custom progression with levelable tools weapons and armor that come with abilities. There are daily missions with three tasks and weekly challenges where everyone competes. You earn Pearls and work toward Pearl milestones then spend Pearls in a shop for perks ranks and cosmetics. You also rank up from playtime.
Gameplay includes mcMMO style skill leveling for stuff like combat mining and fishing. The economy is player driven so you can buy sell and trade. There are activity based rewards like Pearls Diamonds and rank progress.
There are yearly resource worlds so the main world stays cleaner. You can use an RTP menu to hop across five different worlds. Claims help protect builds and PvP is consensual so you can toggle it. You can also customize tags and join messages and make pixel art using the canvas art feature.
