Atropolis is a newly opened Java survival server that is going for a 16+ semi vanilla community feel. It keeps the game mostly normal but adds some quality of life stuff to make day to day survival smoother.
Some changes include phantoms being off and a one person sleep setup plus a PvP toggle. There are also protections and rollbacks for when things go bad and keep inventory is on in the nether and the end.
It runs extras like Simple Voice Chat and Dynmap and also has things like death count and head drops. Voice chat and Elytra Trims are optional so you can still play without them.
The nether is accessible at spawn and nether roof travel is allowed. The end is planned as a community event and it stays closed until March 28 so everyone can open it together.
