Waystone is a small semi vanilla survival server that feels like a long term world where people actually talk and build and stay around.
It is whitelist only and it is made for a relaxed pace with a friendly and more mature vibe. There is no pay to win and they do not do constant resets.
Building is a big deal here with towns and long projects. Land claiming helps keep stuff safe without making it feel annoying.
Deaths are less stressful since your items get saved in a gravestone for a few hours. Skills level up as you play and you get small perks over time so it stays simple.
When you go adventuring together everyone gets their own loot so it does not turn into arguments. Proximity voice chat is optional and there is party chat too.
The world has seasons and holiday events and little details to make it feel alive. The server is Java 1.21.11 and it is UK hosted.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Garden Life System RP Survival
The Garden is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that leans hard into worldbuilding adventure and roleplay. It runs a bunch of plugins that add flavor without turning it into pay to win stuff.
The main thing is the life system. You start with 3 lives and you only lose them through PvP. When you run out you become a ghost and from then on you are the only one who knows what is really past the veil.
Some vanilla features are disabled to fit roleplay better like elytra and ender chests so players build real infrastructure. You can lock chests using trial keys and craft lockpicks to break in. There are chest shops and you can brew alcohol and beers plus lots of quality of life changes.
When you join you wake up on the clouds and have to stick the landing. Then you descend the Monolith and pick a race like Human Halfling Orc Elf and more. You wake up on the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna and can sail out to find new lands or settle in a town with others. The vibe is meant to be relaxed with optional challenges and active staff and mods.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
