GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP18+ Cobblemon Modded Adventure Server
I found a Java server running modded Cobblemon on 1.21.1 and it is built around the whole pokemon kind of vibe.
It sounds like a good place to meet new people and make friends since they say everyone is welcome.
The only hard rule they call out is you must be 18+ to play. They also want you to join their Discord to learn how to join the server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPActive Crossplay Survival SMP Rens Tavern
Rens Tavern SMP is a survival world that has been up for about a month and it stays active without feeling packed. I saw it usually has around 5 to 10 players on daily so stuff is happening and you can still find space to build.
It runs on 1.21.11 and it supports both Java and Bedrock using Geyser so friends on different platforms can play together. The gameplay is vanilla survival but with a few plugins like Simple Voice Chat and some Vanilla Tweaks.
People build bases and grind and sometimes cause a little chaos. There is a player run economy that is still growing and they have a lore scavenger hunt event planned. The community is 13 plus and they might go semi vanilla later with light economy additions as the server gets bigger.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPORIGINS SMP Crossplay Lifesteal Survival
I found a new survival SMP that is starting up and it works for both Java and Bedrock players.
The main twist is lifesteal so fights can really matter and you have to be careful.
You can invite other people from anywhere in the world. They also care about privacy so do not share pics of others without permission and do not use public names.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermit SMP With Proximity Chat
This is a community centered survival server made by the players for the players.
It has a Hermitcraft style SMP feel with a diamond based economy. There is a shopping district plus public builds and bigger projects that people work on together.
A lot of players use proximity chat so it feels more social when you run into someone. The server keeps the vanilla experience as the main goal but it still adds some cosmetic and quality of life and fun stuff when the community asks for it and votes in polls.
It is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. It runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it is Java only. You can expect around 5 to 20 players online through the day with lots of regular active players and groups that are open to new members.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPENCHANTED REALMS NEW JAVA VANILLA REALM

I found a Minecraft community that is mainly a discord place where people invite friends and try to help each other get a Minecraft account
