HoneyBlossom SMP is a vanilla plus survival server that is 18 plus and made to be a forever world with no resets. It is built for people who want a nice place to play Minecraft and make real friends.
I found that the server focuses a lot on keeping things positive. They listen to player suggestions and keep making changes so it stays fun for new people and returning players. All play styles are welcome and you do not need a huge time commitment.
It has cross play for Java and Bedrock. It is hosted on the US east coast but people join from all over. They also switched to new high performance hardware so it runs smooth.
There are helpful plugins like claims, teleporting to other players, multiple homes, nightvision, and a PVP toggle. It also has Simple Voice Chat.
There is a custom resource world and a nether resource area too. They run consistent events and there are End events for new players. The server is on the Mounts of Mayhem update and they have more events planned like an Easter event plus more PVP ideas later.
