LazyCraft is a survival SMP that feels like it is trying to stay simple and fair. It is built around the idea that nothing important is locked behind a paywall so you can just play.
The server has a bunch of free quality of life stuff like fly in your own claim plus extra homes and playervaults. There are also things like graves so getting your items back is easier. It also has stuff like tree feller with auto replant and craftable mob catchers.
The main overworld is a big 32k map that never resets. The nether and end are 16k. Resource worlds reset monthly so there is always fresh space to gather.
PvP is off by default and there are strict no griefing rules. Claims use Lands and you can customize all the flags. Player warps are there too so people can share farms shops or builds.
The economy is player driven with chest shops a shop world with plots and an auction house. You can also earn money from playtime voting and daily sign in rewards. It supports Java and Bedrock on 1.21.x and the community is small active and friendly.
