Windflow SMP is a new semi vanilla survival server that is just about to start Season 1 so it feels like getting in on the ground floor. The world is fresh and everyone is starting together which makes it way less scary to join.
From what I can see the server uses a custom coded plugin that adds a bunch of useful features. It also uses some quality of life mods like Simple Voice Chat and Easy Villagers and a few others so it feels close to normal Minecraft but smoother to play.
They also have a custom Discord bot that lets players set up and manage teams directly through the bot. So it looks like the server is built around people grouping up and working together instead of playing totally alone.
Overall it feels like a chill survival SMP with some smart extras where the staff actually put work into custom plugins and tools instead of just running a plain server.
