This server is called Samsara and it feels like a big story world someone has been building forever. The owner has been working on the map since around 2013 using Worldpainter and it is all made by hand. The world is huge and has different layers of caves and strange biomes that are meant to be explored in survival.
The gameplay is kind of vanilla plus. You still play normal survival but there are extra things like mob heads voice chat graves and custom mobs. The world is made so the biomes are the right size for survival and not just giant empty zones.
There is also a custom questing plugin that the owner made over the last months. It gives you a story and reasons to go explore secret ruins and places that you can find on your own. The server is meant to feel fresh weird poetic and sometimes really cool to look at.
You start in a place called SpawnHenge and from there you just go your own way. It is free to play and all about immersion and discovery instead of pay stuff.

Halcyon is a Minecraft lands PvP server that feels like old school survival but on the newest version. It was started by a postgraduate medievalist and the whole server aims for a strong medieval atmosphere.
The world is custom made with big unique biomes. There is no teleporting so travel actually matters. Players make roads waystations and hidden railways to move around. The F3 menu is turned off so you cannot just use coordinates to find your way. People trade lodestone compasses make maps and even learn how to navigate with the sun and moon.
The gameplay is meant to be harder and slower. There are some restrictions that reduce easy meta strategies and automation. Progression takes more effort so things like bravery smart trading big cities and mighty fortresses are what make you strong. You succeed by teaming up and rallying people to your banner instead of abusing exploits.
The community is based in Australia but there are players from Europe the Americas and Asia. There is no strict server lore you must follow. You just join pick a direction punch some trees and play Minecraft how you like. Over time simple projects turn into big stories as other players get involved.
The plugins and world are built to encourage emergent storytelling. Players already write books make art and even create their own myths and superstitions. It feels like a living medieval world that grows with what the players do.

Halcyon is a Lands PvP server that feels like old school Minecraft survival but on the newest version. It was started by a postgraduate medievalist so the whole world has a strong medieval atmosphere. The server is based in Australia but there are players from Europe the Americas and Asia so it is pretty active.
The world is fully handmade with big unique biomes. There is no teleportation so traveling actually matters. Players build long roads waystations and secret underground railways to move around. The F3 menu is turned off so navigation is a real challenge. Some people sell lodestone compasses and others work on giant maps or teach how to navigate by the sun and moon.
The gameplay is designed to be harder and slower. There are a few restrictions to make progression take longer and to make meta strategies and automation less important. To succeed you focus on working with other players doing brave PvP fights trading smart and building strong cities and castles. It is more about skill and teamwork than exploits.
There is no strict server lore and no pre built adventure. You just join pick a direction punch some trees and play how you like. Over time your story connects with other players and turns into history with fights alliances and legends. The plugins and world are made to push this type of emergent storytelling and people already create books art myths and weird superstitions in game.
