This is a small Minecraft server called 5tarRock and it is semi vanilla and about realism. The players here are building on a custom map that the owners worked on for months.
The server has custom ore generation and custom combat. There is also a climate system that changes how the world feels. It is not super easy and you actually have to work for your stuff.
Auto farms are turned off so you cannot just AFK and win. The whole idea is that you earn everything and play for real instead of using easy tricks.
There is a contest going on where people can redesign the logo and banner. The prize is 125 dollars if your picture wins. The community is small and looking for more players who like a bit of challenge and more realistic survival.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Pen Classic Grind Prison
The Pen is a classic prison server that feels like old school 2014 Minecraft. It is not an OP prison at all. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you really have to grind to rank up.
You mine your ores then you have to smelt them yourself and walk through pvp areas to reach the commissary and sell. There is no instant sell. Swords and potions are illegal so if guards see you with them they will fight you. Guards can even throw you into solitary confinement if you act up.
The rank path goes from A all the way to Parolee and then Citizen. When you get to top rank you can prestige and get special rewards. After you become a parolee you can leave the main prison and build a farm to make even more money.
There are lots of ways to earn money like mining fishing growing illegal plants in your cell or making your own shop. You can rent a prison cell or a bigger plot where you store your stuff grow contraband or run a small shop. There are quests you can do for extra cash and special items.

This server is called MistyMC and it is seriously pure vanilla. There are no teleport commands and no pay to win stuff so everyone has to actually play the game. You mine and build everything yourself and it really feels like classic Minecraft.
The world is long term and they do not reset it all the time. So if you grind for two months your progress will still be there. It is a real grind but that is kind of the point and it feels worth it when you finally get good gear and cool bases.
They let both Java and Bedrock players join which is nice because you can play with more friends. The community feels pretty inclusive and people seem to play fair and respect each other.
