Closebound SMP is a small vanilla world that feels like a real neighborhood and not some giant random server. The players here actually talk and remember each other and the whole point is to build a long lasting world together.
The server uses high trust rules. There are no land claims and no locked chests. Everyone is expected to respect each other and not grief or steal. Because of that it feels calm and safe and people can make cool bases without worrying.
The pace is really slow and relaxed. Players do not rush to beat every boss right away. Big milestones are delayed on purpose so everyone can enjoy the early and mid game together. It feels more like a long story than a speed run.
The community has people from places like the US the Philippines Australia and India. So the world feels alive pretty much all the time. Discord chat is synced with the game chat so conversations can keep going even when some people are not logged in.
They are mainly looking for builders and industrial style players who want a quiet place away from huge loud servers. If you want a small friendly survival server where trust matters a lot then Closebound fits that vibe.
