Sparked is a whitelisted Java SMP that is built around community and long term survival building. It feels like a simple vanilla world at first and that is on purpose. The vibe is close knit and social with people who like a Hermitcraft kind of style while still doing their own thing.
This server keeps it trust based with no warps and no land claims and only minimal quality of life changes. It is meant to feel like a friends server that just got started. At the same time it is supported by mods that help protect builds if something goes wrong.
The admins stay involved and they keep the server maintained. They also talk openly about server costs and specs and how bans are handled. There are extras that do not mess with vanilla like more mob heads player heads armor posing proximity voice and a live map.
