This server feels like an old school vanilla world that never really stopped. The world started in 2011 so you can find really old terrain and ruins and then run into newer areas if you explore far enough. Spawn is in an ocean biome so you have to swim or use a boat just to even find land which makes the start feel like a little adventure.
The gameplay is mostly pure survival with just a few datapacks that make life easier. You can set homes with triggers and warp back to spawn and you can have up to 10 homes. There is nothing extra that changes terrain or adds crazy items. Sometimes player heads and mob heads can drop when you fight which is fun to collect.
The community is a small group of long time friends and most players are in their mid twenties or older. People are mostly from the US with some Russian and Polish speakers too. The rules are super simple. Treat people with respect and do not try to crash the server. Besides that almost anything is allowed so griefing and hacked clients are okay if you still respect others.
The server is always running the newest Minecraft snapshot so you get new features right away. It feels relaxed and unstructured and it is good if you just want to play classic survival with a world that has a lot of history already.

This server is called Dominion Society and it feels like a Hermitcraft style world that is still pretty new. It is meant to be long term and close to pure vanilla and you can tell they care a lot about building and survival.
They run on version 1.21.9 and the server has a big live event for new members where everyone joins together and starts at the same time. There is a community shopping district where players run their own shops and use the world economy instead of random plugins.
The server has stuff like BlueMap so you can see the world from above and it has proximity chat so talking feels more natural. There is no sethome or tpa so exploring and traveling actually matters. They use quality of life datapacks like AFK display durability pings coordinates HUD more mob heads double shulker shells and more so the gameplay is smoother but still feels like Minecraft.
The community is supposed to be friendly and mature and they want people who will actually stick around and join the group. Rules are simple like respect others no griefing or stealing no hacks or exploits and pvp has to be agreed on. They also do not allow lag machines or spammy farms so the server stays playable.
You have to be at least 16 to apply and they want full answers instead of one liners. If you join early you get to help shape the world and be part of the main events with everyone else.
