I found a brand new SMP that is trying to keep things clean and simple. It is whitelisted so you are not dealing with random nonsense.
The server runs on Paper 1.21.11 and the vibe is minimal drama. It also has a clean Discord so it feels organized and easy to join in.
Fresh Whitelist SMP Minimal Drama
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Vanilla Age of Exploration Roleplay
ColumbusCraft is a semi vanilla server built around an age of exploration kind of story. Players start in big Old World cities like London Paris or Brest Amsterdam Madrid or Lisbon.
The main idea is you sail out to the New World with other players or on your own. You can go back to the Old World to trade whenever you want. The server is also about choosing sides like being a colonizer or trying to stop colonization or trading with the colonizers if you are playing as a native.
It is still getting set up and the owner says they will contact people after they join. They also said they might need mods for times when they are not available.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAlways On Lifesteal Semi Anarchy
I found a Java 1.21.11 server that is mostly vanilla with a semi anarchy vibe and a lifesteal setup. It feels simple and it is made for people who like PvP and taking risks.
The server is usually up all day and if it says sleeping it starts back up in like 30 to 60 seconds when you try to join.
It also lets cracked players join and it uses SkinRestorer so your skin still shows.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
