Spugunke is a new SMP server that feels really community first. It runs Minecraft 1.21.11 and the world just started so everyone joining now gets to help shape everything from the ground up.
The server is all about player made towns and teams. People can make their own towns bases farms and huge builds or join others. Some teams can focus on pvp or exploring or gathering resources. You can still play solo if you like and it supports both competitive and relaxed styles.
Rules are relaxed but still fair. Griefing stealing and random killing are not allowed. Pvp is only allowed when everyone agrees so fights are organized and not just chaos. Town or team conflicts can happen but only if both sides want it.
Spawn is meant to be a shared community area with player builds and a place to hang out. The server seems pretty social with people being online at the same time and often sitting in voice calls while they play so it feels more like a group of friends.
The server supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so different platforms can play together. It uses simple vanilla style plugins like tpa sethome spawn protection CoreProtect and a Discord bridge. They only use plugins that make life easier without changing how normal survival feels.
They are also looking for more moderators as the community grows.
