Davidscloud is a long running survival SMP network that has been around since 1.7.10. It feels like a place built for people who want normal Minecraft survival with a friendly community and no pay to win stuff.
Players can protect their builds with claim blocks so griefing is not really a problem. You start with 2000 claim blocks and you earn more while you play. Pets are protected too and there is an active admin team if you need help.
The server has quality of life features that do not mess up balance. There is a banking system that earns interest and a survival spawn market where you can buy essentials like potions fish and wood through gameplay.
You can explore a main survival world and an amplified world with the newer 1.18+ caves and cliffs terrain. The amplified world is reached through an NPC at survival spawn. They also say an event world and a creative plot world are coming soon.
It supports Java and Bedrock cross play so console and mobile players can join in with Java players.
