I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now.
They said the real start is in about a week so it feels like a good time to join early and be there when it kicks off.
It is meant to stay mostly like normal Minecraft and the community is kept small.
I found a chill survival SMP where people mostly just play normal Minecraft and have a good time.
It has a player driven economy so you can earn money then trade with other players and try to grow your wealth.
You can build your own base explore the world and make allies. The community is friendly and there are active players so it feels alive.
Malgazar SMP is a chill survival server where people actually try to respect builds and not wreck your stuff. The community is pretty active and it is mostly friendly even if a few toxic people show up sometimes.
It is hosted in the UK and runs on Purpur. There are QOL changes like keep inventory and explosions that do not destroy blocks. There is also veinminer plus mcmmo style rankings for stuff like mining and swords.
Rules are focused on being fair and calm. No griefing no stealing no scams no slurs and no drama. PvP is only if both people agree and x ray cheats seed maps and duping glitches are not allowed. People who break rules can get locked in a cage for a while or banned.
The world border is set to 15k and the outer End islands reset every week. Fishing has extra rare loot like elytra trident and heart of the ocean with a tiny chance. There is also a mod that helps the owner see who interacted with blocks and undo damage fast.
I found a new Minecraft Java survival server starting a brand new world. It is pure vanilla on 1.21.11 so it is just the normal game with a clean start.
People are supposed to interact and play together. There is optional proximity voice chat if you want it. The world is meant to last a long time without frequent resets.
The rules are simple. No griefing no stealing and no toxic behavior. They want mature players who are 17 plus. Cracked accounts are not allowed.
I found a server built around a huge custom modpack that feels like a bigger All The Mons style setup. It mixes creature collecting with a lot of tech and a lot of magic so you can build machines and also mess around with spells.
There is a spawn area and some NPCs. Player shops are being worked on right now. The pack has tons of addons for different mods so there is always more stuff to build and chase.
The server owner just did a restart to fix issues and remove some overpowered mods. They want everyone to keep it respectful and just have fun with the people you meet.
You should have at least 16 GB of RAM. It is a big pack but it can run fine if you tweak your settings.
I found this new modded SMP called Creativity SMP and it is a multi type server where you can play a lot of different ways.
You can build a nation or go solo and you can set up huge farms using Create with a bunch of addons. The only real limit is when your farms start making the server lag so the modpack is kept smaller to help with big builds.
It also has Valkyrian Skies and Eureka so people can make tanks airplanes and boats. The server is still new so the rules are not fully finished yet.
Right now they want people to not use nukes until they figure out the rules for that. They also say dont be a A Hole and for the time being wars are not allowed.
This is a new modded server running All The Mods 10 version 6.0. It is made for people who want to play together and enjoy the pack.
The owner knows a lot of the mods and tries to help players who are new to the pack. It is public but they will remove anyone who ruins the fun so the vibe stays kind and fair.
This is a community centered Minecraft server that is made by the players for the players.
They are inviting people for their upcoming season 2 launch. Season 2 keeps the core Minecraft gameplay the same but adds a player driven economy. That economy lets players progress in a new way and unlock new abilities plus qol stuff and cosmetics. You can also run your own shop and trade with other players more easily.
Right now the community is voting on what features get added for season 2. If you join early you can help decide what gets in and see updates and sneak peeks while the season is being built.
It is Minecraft 1.21.11 on Java only. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. They also ask people not to start drama.
I found a community focused Java server that is trying to feel like vanilla but still has room to grow if players want it to. It is made by the players for the players and a lot of choices come from requests and community polls.
The main vibe is a Hermitcraft style SMP with a diamond based economy. There is a shopping district plus public builds and bigger projects that people work on together. Proximity chat is a big part of it and most players actually use it.
There are homes and a few extra plugins that are mostly cosmetic or quality of life or just fun. It is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. The server is on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it is Java only.
They say there are usually 5 to 20 players online through the day and there are lots of regular active players. If you want people to play with there are groups looking for new members too.
Pulsar SMP is a vanilla survival server that feels competitive but still chill. It is made for people who want an active and friendly community.
They say the moderation is good and there is no admin abuse. The server also runs frequent events and competitions so it does not get boring.
You have to apply to join and it uses a whitelist. There are rewards for being the first to finish certain advancements so players like to grind goals.
If you like pvp building or just playing casual there is a spot for you here.
