HoneyBlossom SMP is a vanilla plus survival server that is trying to feel like real Minecraft but smoother and more social. It is 18 plus and it supports cross play for Java and Bedrock. The server is meant to be a forever world with no resets so your builds can stay for the long run.
I found out they just moved to new high performance hardware so the server can run better. The server is hosted on the US east coast but there are players from all over. The vibe is friendly and people are encouraged to make friends and have fun even if you only play a little.
There are quality of life plugins like claims player teleport multiple homes nightvision and a pvp toggle. They also use Simple Voice Chat for talking while you play.
They run events a lot and there is an End event planned this weekend for newer players. There is also a custom resource world plus a nether resource world so gathering stuff does not have to trash the main areas. The owner also keeps checking suggestions and making changes to keep it fun.
