The Perch is a Java SMP that tries hard to feel like a real Minecraft home. The main goal is a friendly place with no toxicity or drama so people can just play and chill.
The server focuses on what the community asks for. Players can give feedback through suggestions and tickets plus bi monthly feedback forms. There are weekly change logs so you can see what got changed and there are monthly events to bring everyone together.
It keeps a strong survival feel and avoids feeling bloated. Features can be toggled off if you do not like them. They also put effort into making farms and redstone work like they do in the base game.
There is a playtime based ranking system with perks you unlock by playing. The economy is meant to be fair and balanced with lots of player run shops. There are also small gameplay tweaks and a web map that lets you view all worlds. The listed version is 1.21.11 and the world has no resets.

Rai Nations is a session based nation server where people hop on for set times and go on adventures together. It usually hits 20 plus players at peak and there is room to set up your own nation.
The sessions are scheduled in EST on Wednesday Friday Saturday and Sunday so it works great if you want a second home server without spending your whole week grinding. The staff is friendly and helps you out and the server runs plot points and events.
There is a merchants village where you buy and sell items instead of doing villager trading. The economy uses Credits for most things like materials and enchants. There is also Rai Kurrency that is rarer and you can find it daily in chests and it is used for heavier stuff like Netherite enchants.
There is also lore with Unknown Fragments which are five beings that split from the original Unknown. They can cause wacky shenanigans and it ties back to season one where the server barely defeated Unknown and the fragments scattered.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
