Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java server that feels like a small friendly world where everyone actually knows each other. It is whitelisted so the players are usually chill and just want to build explore and hang out.
The server runs on the latest 1.21.11 version so you get all the new features while still staying fully vanilla survival. People work together on community projects and big builds and you can also just go off and make your own base if you want.
There is grief protection using Ledger so staff can check what happened if something gets griefed or stolen. That makes it feel safer to build big stuff because you know they can investigate.
The server has BlueMap so you can look at the world on a live map. There is Simple VoiceChat support so you can talk in game and AudioPlayer for custom audio. They also have dragon elytra drops so beating the dragon is extra worth it.
Ordinary SMP uses a custom resource pack with special cosmetics trophies and event rewards that match a HermitCraft inspired style. Players can even suggest ideas for new custom items which makes the server feel more community driven.
There are server wide events like pvp battles build contests and big community projects so there is usually something going on. The whole vibe is survival focused friendly and meant to be a long term home for builders explorers and redstone fans.
