The Perch is a Minecraft SMP that feels like a second home. It is a long term world that does not reset so you can build stuff and know it will be there next month.
The server is all about what the community wants. The owners listen to feedback through suggestions tickets and regular feedback forms. They post weekly changelogs so you can see every change that happens. There are also monthly events so players can play together and not just do solo grinding.
The gameplay keeps a normal survival feel. They think about how each change affects daily gameplay so it never feels too bloated. There are small tweaks that just make things nicer but if you do not like a feature you can turn it off. Farms and redstone are made to work like normal Minecraft so technical players can still do their stuff.
There is a ranking system that uses playtime instead of pay to win. You unlock perks just by playing more on the server. The economy is balanced with a lot of player made shops so players trade with each other instead of only using server shops.
From what I saw the community is really kind and not toxic or full of drama. It feels like a good place if you want a comfy survival server you can stay on for a long time.
