I found a survival server that is trying to stay really simple and clean. The owner made it because they were tired of servers that feel stuffed with too many plugins.
It is meant to feel like those youtuber style SMP worlds where people just play together and do their own thing. If you want a vanilla SMP vibe this one is trying to keep it that way.
