This is a semi vanilla survival server that feels really chill and nostalgic. It is called SurviveWithUs and it is all about playing together on a brand new world and slowly building up a community.
The server is an SMP with land claiming so you can protect your base and build with your friends. It has custom coded stuff with custom items and armor so there are cool rewards to collect if you stick around and explore. You can also go fight the Ender Dragon and there is a special egg you can get each month.
The old version of this server shut down in 2023 but now it is revived under new ownership and it is being run by the original players. It just opened again in July 2025 so the world is fresh and not all crowded or griefed.
The owners really care about the community and they are against pay to win. Voting is optional and they say you can unlock everything just by playing normally. If you do vote every day for a month they even give a big voucher as a reward.
If you like semi vanilla survival and want a community driven SMP with events and keep inventory then this server is pretty good. It feels like the kind of place where you can log in every day hang out with people and slowly Survive With Us together.

Oldschool Beta Survival Village Economy

This server feels like old Minecraft and I kind of love it. It runs an iron based economy so iron is like the money here. You can use it to open your own shop and sell blocks you have a lot of.
You can also start your own village if you save up 300 iron. When you get your village your blocks get protected so griefers do not wreck your stuff. It makes building a base or a whole town way less scary.
There is a simple chest lock system too. If you put a sign on the front of your chest it locks and keeps your items safe. That is really good for new players who do not want to get robbed.
The server has a wiki voting page and a live map on the website so you can read about things and see what the world looks like. The whole thing just feels super retro and kind of nostalgic like older versions of Minecraft when stuff was more chill.
The community is small right now so it can feel lonely but that also means there is a lot of space for new players to join and start villages. If you want that old school Minecraft feeling and a simple survival world with an iron economy this server is pretty perfect.
