Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java survival server that feels like a small friendly neighborhood. It is whitelisted so the players are more serious about actually playing and being respectful. Everyone joins to build explore and just hang out together.
The server runs on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 and they like to stay up to date. It is survival but the staff use tools like Ledger to check grief or theft so your builds are protected. That makes it feel safe to build big bases and long projects.
The community works on cool group builds and server wide events like pvp battles build contests and big projects. There is a custom resource pack that gives special cosmetics trophies and event rewards and it follows a HermitCraft type theme. Players can even share ideas for more custom items.
There are some nice quality of life features. BlueMap lets you see an interactive map of the world. Simple VoiceChat lets people talk in game instead of just typing. There is AudioPlayer for custom audio and the dragon can drop elytras so end game travel is easier.
Overall the server is about having a tight knit group that wants a long term survival world. Builders explorers redstone people or chill players who just want to vibe can all fit in here.
