I found a vanilla like server that is trying to keep the game feeling normal. It uses a few plugins but only for fairness like stopping combat logging and stuff like that.
The community is mostly teenagers but it says all ages are welcome. The host is paid so it should be stable and run smooth.
They are looking for more players to help it grow. The server is releasing tomorrow and they said nothing will be banned like netherite or anything.
