This server is called GoPlay and it is a survival world that tries really hard to stay fair and clean and work for a long time.
The main thing is their SMP. They have a brand new spawn and you can use random teleport in the Overworld and the Nether and the End. You can claim your land and set up player shops. There is flight time you can earn by voting and you can use that flight only inside your own claims. They also use custom 1.21.4 packs for bases and cosmetics plus there are player vaults and the dragon can respawn so people can keep going back to the End. When you vote you get free crates and every perk on the server is earnable so nothing is locked behind paying real money.
They also have a vanilla world that is very close to pure Minecraft. It has no extra mechanics and it still has random teleport so you can explore easily.
The owners pay for the server out of their own pocket and they do not expect players to buy anything to have fun. If you want a modern survival server that stays fair and does not go crazy with features this one fits that style. It runs on version 1.21.
GoPlay 1.21 Fair Survival SMP
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Simple Survival SMP 1.21.1
EchelonMC is a custom survival server that tries to stay simple and feel like normal Minecraft. You do not need any mods or special client stuff. Everything works on a regular install so it feels really familiar and easy to get into.
The server focuses on survival and keeps the core gameplay the same. Nothing feels super overpowered or crazy. Even Endermen cannot pick up blocks so your builds stay safe. Most systems are made to feel natural while you play instead of shoving menus in your face.
At spawn there are interactive NPCs that explain features and give you basic info. There is also a wilderness NPC that can teleport you to a random area if you just want to start fresh. The spawn hub is clean and gives you what you need when you first join.
EchelonMC has some cool quality of life stuff too. There is a command controller so you only see commands you can actually use. There is auto pathing where the ground wears down slowly as players travel so the world shows where people move. The server can update many things live without having to restart all the time.
The community is meant to help shape the server. There is a suggestion system in game where you use a command and it opens a book and you can write your ideas. The team reviews suggestions often and really wants player feedback to decide what gets added or changed.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
