EchelonMC is a survival server that tries to stay simple and easy to understand. It uses a normal Minecraft install so you do not need any mods. The server feels close to vanilla but with systems that just make things smoother.
When you join there is a clean spawn hub with NPCs that explain stuff and show you different server systems. There is even a wilderness NPC that can throw you into a random area so you can start fresh without walking forever.
The server is all about survival and not breaking the normal game loop. Nothing is super overpowered and the world acts how you expect. Endermen cannot steal blocks so your builds are safer which is nice if you like building.
The commands are kept under control. There is a command controller that only shows the commands you are actually allowed to use. You do not get hit with a giant confusing list and most things feel natural inside normal survival.
The community is a big part of the server. There is a suggestion system where you use a book in game with the suggest command to send ideas. The staff checks these a lot so players can help shape new features and changes.
The server runs on Paper 1.21.1 and has live updating for many changes so it does not always need restarts. Overall it feels like a clean friendly place to play survival with some smart quality of life features.
