The world is permanent and already a few years old so it really feels lived in. There is also a hardcore vanilla mode with no grief and big biome generation. There is a tools and testing area with vanilla style no grief worlds that last a bit shorter plus a creative plots server for basic testing and litematica pasting.
The community is kind of international and has players from teens to older adults. Chat is kept clean with low tolerance for swearing and public chat is supposed to stay about Minecraft and gaming. Events are made by players and supported by the staff so it feels more like a player driven place.
