GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLegendary Semi-Vanilla SMP Since 2010

MineRealm is a public SMP server that has been online since 2010 and a lot of players have joined over the years. It feels like a long term survival place where people actually stick around and build a real community.
The world is a smaller map that expands over time and new land generates on the latest Minecraft version. The server tries to stay close to vanilla but it also has some custom plugins that add extra community stuff.
It is 100 percent legit survival with no pay to win and no item spawning. Builds are meant to be safe because there is a classic plot system plus grief protection using CoreProtect.
There are no world resets so anything you build can stay. The world is player built with no spawned in hubs or prefab structures and there is public infrastructure to help players grow over time.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Garden SMP Life and Roleplay

The Garden is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that is built for worldbuilding adventure and roleplay. It uses a bunch of plugins to add flavor without turning it into a pay to win mess.
The big hook is the life system. You start with 3 lives and you only lose them through PvP. When you run out you become a ghost and now you are on the other side of the veil.
Some vanilla stuff is turned off to fit the roleplay better like elytra and ender chests so people actually build roads and travel systems. You can lock chests with trial keys and you can craft lockpicks to break into stuff. There are chest shops and you can brew alcohol and beers plus lots of QoL things.
When you join you wake up on top of the clouds and you have to stick the landing. Then you head down the Monolith pick a race like Human Halfling Orc or Elf and wake up at the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna. From there you can sail out to explore or settle with other players. The vibe is relaxed with optional challenges and the staff and mods are active and attentive.
