This is a Java server that is hosted in the UK and is always online so it is really good for players in the UK and Europe. The server is 16 plus and a lot of the regular players are over 21. It feels like an older chill community that just likes to hang out and play Minecraft for a long time.
The world is all about big themed areas. There are six main themes right now. There is Aztecia with an ancient style like Aztec and Egypt. There is Greenland which is all underground. There is Extora which is a mix of sci fi and magic. There is Latvia which is a medieval theme. There is a Modern area with skyscrapers and city builds. There is also an Asian area with temple style builds.
There are around twenty to twenty five active players and they usually just relax and build huge immersive places. There are no land claims. There is no griefing allowed. There is no PVP. The world is not planned to reset so builds can stay for a really long time.
The server has a few gamerule changes and plugins but they try to keep a vanilla feeling. There is no tp and no home commands. Voice chat mod is required to join so people can talk while they play. If this kind of long term themed world with older players sounds fun then this server is made for you.
