Halcyon is a Lands PvP server with a medieval vibe and it is built to feel like old school survival while still running on vanilla Minecraft 1.21.11. It is based in Australia and it has players from Europe the Americas and Asia and you will usually see around 10 to 30 people online.
The world is handmade and the server tries to make the game harder and slower so you do not just rush the meta. It pushes creativity teamwork and special roles. Winning is more about brave fights smart deals big builds and getting other players to follow you.
Travel matters a lot because there is no teleporting. People end up making roads waystations and even hidden rail lines underground. Some crops and saplings only grow in certain biomes so trade becomes important and different areas start to feel unique.
You do not have to follow strict lore. You can just play normally and let stories happen as more players get involved. Night cannot be skipped and health only comes back slowly and only in certain situations so you have to plan ahead.
