VitaNova is a new semi vanilla SMP that just opened on New Years Day. The world is still mostly untouched so it feels like a fresh place to explore and build with other people.
It runs with plugins that add more stuff to do without changing the whole survival feel. Fishing gets a big upgrade with custom fish and different rarities plus fishing tournaments where players compete.
There is a land claim system so your builds and loot can stay safe. The server also has an auction house and jobs so you can play and earn money then trade with other players. Crates are easy to get and can give you a little boost.
There is also a launch event where you can claim free items with the calendar command until the end of January. The server is on version 1.21 and the community is still growing and trying to keep it welcoming.
