Aelythera is a 16+ Minecraft roleplay server that is still new and growing. It is built around meeting new people and playing characters in a big story with planned events.
The lore starts in a normal world called Koriam with different regions and cultures and steampunk tech. Years ago people vanished during something called The Great Vanishing and now it is happening again. Your character gets taken too and wakes up in a new world full of magic and the ruins of an old civilization.
A big part of the server is discovery. You work on finding your new powers and learning the new world while trying to rebuild the tech you lost. Progress sounds hard on purpose even making basic tools can be difficult. You can explore the ancient ruins and hunt for secrets or focus on researching and creating inventions.
The staff team has experience from other Minecraft roleplay servers and they try to keep things welcoming and inclusive. They also want to listen to the community and take suggestions including lore ideas.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHalcyon Calls The Midlands Jewel

Halcyon is a Lands PvP server with a medieval feel and an old school survival style. It stays on the latest vanilla Minecraft version 1.21.11. The server is based in Australia and it has players from Europe the Americas and Asia with about 10 to 30 people on at a time.
The world is handmade and the server uses a few rules to make things harder and slow down progress. It pushes you away from meta tricks and automation and toward teamwork and creativity. Winning is more about bravery deals and leadership plus building big cities and strong fortresses.
There is no teleporting so travel matters a lot. People end up making roads waystations and even hidden underground rail lines. Some crops and saplings only work in certain biomes so trading becomes important and each area starts to feel different.
You do not have to follow strict lore. You can just play normally and let stories happen as players meet and clash. Nights cannot be skipped and healing is slower and only works in certain situations so you have to be careful.

This server is a classic prison server that feels like the older grind. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you have to work your way up through the ranks from A to Parolee to Citizen.
Money takes effort here. You mine and smelt your ores and then you have to walk through PVP zones to sell at the Commissary. Swords and potions are illegal and guards can PVP you if they catch you with them.
There are a lot of side ways to make cash too like custom fishing quests bounties and running parkour around the prison. You can rent a cell or a plot to store stuff build and even run your own shop.
There is also a contraband angle with special custom plants that are illegal. You can grow them in your cell for profit but you have to be careful because guards can enforce rules and even send you to solitary for bad conduct. After you hit top rank you can prestige for special rewards.
