Vinterra is a Hermit style survival server where people want to play for the long term and build huge bases.
The community is active with around 20 to 30 players and there is usually someone on. They also do events a lot and sometimes even game nights together.
Right now they are looking for about 10 new players. They do simple interviews on Saturday all day so they can meet you before you join.
Syracuse Nation is a survival server that also has a separate creative world. It feels like a chill place where people build cool stuff and take their time.
There is a big city that keeps getting bigger and it even has vehicles and places to explore. Players can make shops and trade so there is a player economy and it feels more like a little world instead of just random bases.
The server is on Java 1.21.11 and it has cross play so people on Xbox and PlayStation can join with BedrockConnect. There is a hub where you can go to the city the creative world or the survival world.
They have quests and they are adding more. There is a bank to store your valuables. You can use random TPA and even your mount teleports with you. The server uses proximity chat so talking feels more real.
The community seems friendly and it is not pay to win. There is an active Discord and the staff sound helpful so it feels like a good place to just hang out and play survival and creative with other people.
