I found a community centered survival server that feels like a Hermitcraft style SMP. It is made by the players for the players and they try hard to keep the vanilla experience.
There is a diamond based economy with a shopping district. People also work on public builds and group projects and a lot of players use proximity chat.
You can use homes and there are some cosmetic and quality of life plugins too. New stuff gets added from community requests and polls.
It is Minecraft 1.21.11 on Java only. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus. They usually have around 5 to 20 people online and there are lots of regular players and groups that want new members.
Hermit Style SMP With Proximity Chat
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Modded Adventure With Proximity Chat
This server is a small chill Java world run by a few friends and they are looking for more people who are 18 or older. It is not sweaty or competitive at all. Everyone plays to relax and hang out and just enjoy Minecraft together.
The whole focus is on going on adventures as a group. People like to explore the world together or team up for different trips. It is more about the journey than about speedrunning or flexing builds.
They use proximity voice chat so talking feels super natural. You might run into someone while exploring and just start talking or you can chat while building or planning the next adventure. It makes the world feel alive and like people actually live there.
The server is all about enjoying time with others and discovering stuff together and building a world that feels lived in. If that kind of calm adventure vibe sounds good then this is the type of place you would probably like.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Lifesteal SMP With Seasons
This is a lifesteal smp that just started and feels really fresh.
The server has resets that happen weekly or monthly with seasons so you kind of get a new start pretty often. You can join and invite your friends and make teams with them which makes it way more fun.
They mostly just want more active players and it already has a pretty active discord community around it. If you like lifesteal and playing with other people this server is made for that style.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
