I found a server called Gaia Legends and it is super new like about a week old. Even with a low player base it feels really polished and well setup.
It is semi vanilla and it has custom items plus jobs and other extra stuff. The cool part is it is easy to understand and everything feels simple to use in game.
There are crates but it does not feel pay to win. It sounds like you can get the crate stuff just by playing normally.
The owner is really active and seems to care a lot about the server and helping it grow. If you want to join a server from the start this one seems like a good pick.
Gaia Legends Fresh Start Semi Vanilla
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Garden Life System RP Survival
Custom races selectionJava latest releaseLimited death systemLock and raidWorldbuilding focused play
The Garden is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that leans hard into worldbuilding adventure and roleplay. It runs a bunch of plugins that add flavor without turning it into pay to win stuff.
The main thing is the life system. You start with 3 lives and you only lose them through PvP. When you run out you become a ghost and from then on you are the only one who knows what is really past the veil.
Some vanilla features are disabled to fit roleplay better like elytra and ender chests so players build real infrastructure. You can lock chests using trial keys and craft lockpicks to break in. There are chest shops and you can brew alcohol and beers plus lots of quality of life changes.
When you join you wake up on the clouds and have to stick the landing. Then you descend the Monolith and pick a race like Human Halfling Orc Elf and more. You wake up on the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna and can sail out to find new lands or settle in a town with others. The vibe is meant to be relaxed with optional challenges and active staff and mods.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Solo This Valentines Night
MoleCraft is a chill 18 plus Bedrock server in pure vanilla on hard mode. It is made for adults who want a smaller group where people actually know each other.
The server has a Hermitcraft style vibe with an active shopping district and community projects. They also run monthly events and mini games so it does not get boring.
This place is big on zero drama. It is LGBTQ friendly and strict about anti grief so your builds stay safe. It fits redstone players storytellers and cozy builders who want to hang out and not play alone.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP7 Minute Mining Score Attack
I found a new server that is built around a mining mini game. Each round gives you 7 minutes to mine as much as you can.
Different ores give different scores so you have to think fast while you dig. There are also different variants of the game so it does not feel the same every time.
The owner just started and is also learning plugin development. It feels like an early project that wants to grow into a full server later.WebsiteDiscordGG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStarfall Sanctuary Season 4 Vanilla Plus
Starfall Sanctuary is a semi vanilla server that just started Season 4 and it is looking for a few more people to join. It is a small adult group around 10 players and they have been playing together for a long time across many seasons. The vibe is chill and it is more about friends and building than trying to be a huge server.
The world is still fresh and there is a live map you can check. They picked a seed where the spawn continent has all biomes so builders have lots of choices.
It is vanilla plus with a bunch of quality of life stuff like proximity voice chat graves homes and TPA and a toggleable timber feature. There are creative helpers too like an armor stand editor mini blocks mob and player heads invisible item frames and a painting picker with the stonecutter.
They run strict rules and keep things drama free. Mobs do not grief builds and they watch for trouble with rollback tools. X ray and hacks are blocked so it stays fair.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKere Hardcore With Weekly Characters
This is a hardcore Minecraft server called Kere. It is meant to feel like you only get one chance but it does not fully end when you die. Instead you move on to another character and keep playing in new scenarios.
New characters get added every week. Right now there is only one character available and it is the badlands stray.
The server can go into sleep mode when nobody is online. If that happens you just wait in the lobby until it reboots.
It is Java and it runs on version 1.21.11.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy 18+ Whitelisted Vanilla SMP
This is a whitelisted vanilla SMP made for adults who want a calm place to play. The community has been around since 2023 and it just started Season 5 on January 24 2026. Seasons usually run about a year so it is meant for long term players.
It is for people who do not have a lot of time and do not care about grinding or speedrunning. The vibe is cozy and relaxed so you can build a house and chill without worrying about griefers thieves or cheaters.
The server is properly moderated and they try to keep drama away. The goal is for people to know each other and actually play together instead of everyone running off alone.
Java and Bedrock are both supported and it is 18+ only.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
