I found a survival server called Cozy MC and it feels different from the usual places. Instead of everyone hiding in their own base it tries to keep people living in the same world together.
It runs on hard difficulty and it is long term with one world that does not reset. There are no land claims and no locked chests so you have to play with trust and be decent.
It is also free with no payments or perks. It supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so more people can join. Most days it has a steady crowd so it feels alive and you start recognizing names.
Because there are no claims players end up making roads between towns and leaving supplies for travelers. When you join you are supposed to read the rules so you know how to start.
