The Garden is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that leans hard into worldbuilding adventure and roleplay. It has a bunch of plugins that add flavor but it still feels like survival.

The main thing is the life system. You start with 3 lives and you only lose lives through PvP. If you lose them all you turn into a ghost and only you will really know what happens after that.

Some vanilla stuff is turned off to fit the roleplay better. Elytra and ender chests are disabled so people actually build roads and towns and real infrastructure.

Players can lock chests using trial keys and you can craft lockpicks to break in. You can also make chest shops and brew alcohol and beers. There are lots of quality of life features too.

When you join you wake up above the clouds then you stick the landing to start. You can descend the Monolith then pick a race like Human Halfling Orc Elf and more. After that you wake up on the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna and sail out to find new land or settle with others. The server is meant to be relaxed with optional challenges and it says there is no pay to win with active staff and mods.
