The Garden SMP is a Java 1.21.11 survival server that mixes towny roleplay with worldbuilding and adventure. It is open to join and it feels new player friendly.
Players make towns and nations in the overworld and then go on bigger adventures in other dimensions. A lot of the fun comes from building stories together and doing roleplay while you expand your place.
You can protect your builds with Towny and run chest shops to sell stuff without a forced economy. There is also a Devotions system where you can be a priest or cultist or a devoted worshipper and get rewarded for your piety. Multiverse lets you explore your gods realm and there are a bunch of quality of life features too.
The vibe is meant to be relaxed with optional challenges if you want them. The server says it has no pay to win and it is run as a passion project with active attentive staff and a small thriving community.
