Ordinary SMP is a vanilla style Java server that feels like a small group of friends hanging out. It is whitelisted so the players are actually there to play and have fun and not just troll.
The server is on version 1.21.10 and stays up to date with the newest features. It is survival but still has some protections so your builds stay safe from griefers.
There is a live map with BlueMap so you can see the world from your browser. The server also uses Simple VoiceChat so you can talk in game and it has AudioPlayer for custom audio. Dragon Elytra drops are enabled so beating the dragon is extra rewarding.
They use a custom resource pack with special cosmetics trophies and event rewards and it is inspired by HermitCraft. Players can even share ideas for new custom items.
The community runs server wide events like pvp battles build contests and big group projects so there is usually something going on. If you like building exploring redstone or just chilling you would probably fit in here.
