I found a simple survival server that sticks to a vanilla feel but still adds a few quality of life things. It works for both Java and Bedrock players so you can bring friends from either one.
The spawn area is built by the community and the server hosts events. There is a decorated End island and a Nether hub which makes traveling feel more fun. There is also a player run shopping district so you can trade and set up shops.
You get light commands like /sethome and /tpa to make survival less annoying. There is also /itemflip where you can gamble your items just for fun. Phantoms can be toggled too.
The rules and vibe are pretty clear. No pay to win and no silly plugins. It is not focused on PvP but PvP and raiding are allowed with limits. No griefing so builds are meant to last.
