I found a semi vanilla survival server that is for people who just want normal survival. It keeps stuff simple and does not add random gimmicks. Plugins are kept low and only used when they help for the long run.

The vibe is community first and it is meant to feel stable. They say no lag no toxic players and no surprise resets so you can actually settle in one world.

There are land claims so your builds can stay safe. The economy is run by players and there is an auction house for selling items. You can also get custom tools and armor plus some smaller quality of life stuff.
