Phoenix SMP is a Java semi vanilla survival server that just started a new season. It is built for long term world building and exploration. The community is small and they want new members to join in and stick around.

This place is 18 plus and LGBTQ friendly. They use pronoun roles in their Discord. People are friendly and it feels more like a group of friends than a random lobby.

They are trying jobs and a bit of roleplay this season. There are also team advancements if you want to cooperate. The economy is a mix of player shops and public farms so it does not feel too grindy.

They have strict rules against griefing and stealing. The server runs Paper on version 1.21.11. They use quality of life stuff like custom nether portals more mob heads player heads fast leaf decay enderman anti grief universal dyeing armor statues armored elytra and cauldron concrete plus CoreProtect. All add ons and changes get decided by a community vote.
