MinedHype is a friendly long term public survival server that has been run by the same owner for about 6 years. It started back in 1.14 and a ton of players have joined over time so it feels like a real community.
The gameplay is mostly vanilla and it runs on Minecraft 1.21.11. There is no pay to win and there is no money economy plugin so trading is mainly player to player with item trades and player run shops.
You can protect your builds with claims and unclaimed areas can be griefed so claiming matters. CoreProtect is used to help protect the server.
The Overworld and Nether are meant to stay long term and not get wiped. There is no set world border and new players spawn randomly within the first 40k blocks and you can use random teleport to find a spot then set a home.
It supports Bedrock and Java cross play and there are free events with prizes. There is also a public shopping district anyone can apply to use.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
