Bone Voyage MC is a pirate themed SMP server that feels really cozy and welcoming. It has this nostalgia kind of survival where you just hop on and start playing with other people who actually talk and hang out.
The server owners promise a full year of uptime and say they plan to keep it going even longer. There is a lot of custom configuration and plugins so it is not totally vanilla but it still feels like normal Minecraft just with more to do.
They have a rich history that gets recorded so the world and community feel like they matter over time. There are frequent content updates and community events so it does not get boring fast.
There is an improved skyblock mode that connects with other progression on the server so you are not stuck in a random side game. The server is cosmetics only so there is no pay to win stuff which is really nice.
You can use optional voice chat if you want but it is not required. Overall it seems like a chill SMP with a pirate vibe and a friendly community that actually plans to stay online for a long time.
