This is not a normal server post. It is a survey made by a computing science student doing a final year honours project.
It is for Minecraft Java Edition players and also server admins and plugin devs who deal with online play. It asks about security awareness and also thoughts about cheating.
The survey is fully anonymous and it takes up to 10 minutes to finish.
I found Kioku Region SMP and it is a Cobbleverse server where the goal is to battle and build your progress for real. They say every cobblemon is obtainable and battles actually matter.
They also push a true zero pay to win vibe. You cannot buy cobblemon or competitive stats or any battle advantage. Donations are mostly cosmetics like rank tags colored chat particle effects plus extra claim blocks and some quality of life perks. Ranks can have kits but it is stuff you could grind in about a day.
The server has a community Gym Leader and Elite Four system that is made by real players. People build their own gyms run a type team and defend their title. You can challenge gyms then the Elite Four then the Champion for in game rewards. They also have gameplay roles like Trainer Gym Leader Elite Four and Professor and they are still building it out. They usually have around 10 to 20 players online and a Discord community that is over 50 members and growing.
Safari Zone SMP is a modded survival server for Minecraft 1.21.1 built around a custom Cobbleverse based Cobblemon pack. It is meant to feel like a normal SMP where you explore build towns train Pokemon and set up shops with other players.
The server is whitelist only and hosted in North America. Moderators sometimes jump in as characters to run small in world events while people are already playing. It is not a roleplay server and you can ignore the events if you want. The idea is just to make the world feel more alive.
The pack includes Cobblemon with the Cobbleverse ecosystem plus Simple Voice Chat for proximity chat and instrument mods so players can play music together. The server is launching soon and applications are open.
SableCraft is a small semi vanilla survival SMP that is trying to stay around for a long time. It is not made to be some huge place that resets all the time. The whole point is a community that grows together from the start.
The vibe is chill and respectful. Builders casual players and creators are all welcome. They say no pay to win and no anarchy and no drama so it is meant to feel fair.
The direction of the server is community driven from day 1. Season 1 is doing player applications and there are optional staff applications too. The launch is coming soon and people can join early and be there at the beginning.
Pixel Springs is a cozy modded SMP on 1.20.1 that is built to last and it does not do resets. It feels like a long term world where you can chill and keep your stuff safe.
The server is made for builders and collectors and people who like comfy survival. There are lots of building mods like Building Gadgets and Chipped and Handcrafted and Dusty Decorations so you can make detailed bases.
If you like farming and cooking there are tons of mods to mess with like Farmers Delight with addons plus Croptopia plus Cooking for Blockheads and all the Lets Do mods. You can also earn in game currency by doing quests and daily rewards then open a shop or build in the shopping district.
There is a custom FTB Quests setup that helps you learn mods and get rewards. There is also a separate resource overworld dimension that resets sometimes so you can keep exploring without running out.
Magic players have options like Botania and Hexerei and Mystical Agriculture and Ars Nouveau. Animal lovers can find more creatures with Naturalist and Aquaculture and Faunify and Pollys Pets and Rats. If you care about looks there are hats and costumes and more armor and clothes.
The community is small and friendly and still growing since it started about three months ago. The admin team helps out and the server does frequent backups.
Rosebloom SMP is a friendly seasonal survival server with PVE and a community first vibe. It supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so more people can play together.
Season 3 just started and the server runs community events with in game prizes. Some prizes can be big stuff like nether stars and other valuables plus custom items.
It has custom biomes and custom food and crop content along with quality of life plugins. There is also a rewards system and seasons that are not super long.
The server also links Discord chat with Minecraft chat using a bot named Jimmy. The staff team focuses on keeping things welcoming and they even let people apply to help out. You can build explore mine farm do redstone or just relax as long as you follow the basic limitations and rules they have.
I found a Minecraft server where the owner is trying to get more players to join.
It sounds like it is meant to be a friendly place and they really want people to be nice.
The main rule is no griefing so you can build without getting messed with.
I found IronVail and it is a pure vanilla Minecraft server for people who want the real survival feel. There are no teleport commands and no home command. There are also no land claims so you have to pick a spot build it up and protect it yourself.
It is not meant to be an anarchy place. Cheating like flying or x ray is not allowed and they use automatic anti cheat to help stop it. Profanity is strongly discouraged.
It has a 25 percent sleep feature so night can be skipped when only some players sleep. The server is also tuned for players with higher ping so exploring feels smoother.
Java and Bedrock players can both join which makes it easy to play with friends on different devices.
Cozy Craving is a newer survival server that started in February 2024. It tries to stay really close to vanilla Minecraft but it adds a few small quality of life things to make playing smoother.
The world is huge at 14k by 14k and it will keep getting bigger as updates come out and more players join. The map is meant to be long term and it will not reset so people can keep their builds and farms forever.
People here like building a lot. You can find big projects like towns skyscrapers large farms and a nether roof travel hub. There are also active players around who will help you get started.
It is unwhitelisted and the rules are strict about no griefing looting hacking or exploiting. Staff can track changes and roll back damage if something bad happens. The staff team is active and spread across time zones.
Gameplay is hard difficulty and there is no keep inventory. Teleports are limited to spawn tpa which may be removed later and home. Donations are not pay to win and are only for cosmetics.
