BeeSMP is a new survival server that is built for long term worlds and player stories. It feels like a place where people actually stick around and remember what happened last week.
The gameplay is survival with a slow progression style. Bluemap only unlocks after one week. The Nether opens after two weeks. The End does not open until one month. So everyone kind of grows together instead of rushing everything.
The server uses vanilla plus style plugins that just add quality of life. Creeper and Enderman grief is turned off so builds do not get ruined. There is build protection and rollback so your stuff feels safe even when other people are around.
The community seems tight knit and focused on doing events and making a shared history. If you like survival where people actually know each other and play for a long time this server feels like that kind of place.
