ObsidianCraft is a new SMP that is meant to be a chill place to hang out. People can chat and build and just play without a sweaty vibe.
It has a claims system so your stuff can stay safe. It also has an unconventional economy and some custom features that make it feel different.
The owner is brand new to running a server so some things might be rough and a few parts might not be set up right yet. If you find bugs or you have ideas you can tell them and help the server get better.
I found Cafirexos and it is a hosting project that started in 2022. It began with free Node.js servers for developers and it has grown over time.
Now they also offer Minecraft hosting for Java and Bedrock. There are free plans if there is space and paid plans if you want more resources.
The free Minecraft plan is listed with 75% CPU 2 GiB RAM and 5 GiB storage. It says it depends on availability and it is 1 server per user.
Paid plans start at .99 USD per month and they list 100% CPU 4 GiB RAM and 25 GiB storage. They also say there is a 3 day money back guarantee if it is not what you expected.
Their current locations are Virginia for free and paid plans and Arizona for free plans only right now.
