Waystone is a small semi vanilla Java SMP that feels like the kind of place where people actually talk and keep building for the long run. It is aimed at a Hermitcraft style vibe with a relaxed pace and a community that wants to stick around.
The world is meant for long term builds and towns. You can build solo or with friends and there is land claiming to help keep your stuff safe.
Deaths are less stressful since your items get saved in a gravestone for a few hours. There are also skills that level up while you play and you unlock small perks over time.
When people go adventuring together everyone gets their own loot so nobody has to argue about it. Proximity voice chat is optional and there is also a live map you can watch as builds grow.

casual survival grindcommunity-driven conflictsrough community energyrule enforced survivaltrash talk allowed
This is a vanilla ish SMP server where you mostly play normal survival but PvP is turned on.
People can fight and there has already been a war so it is not calm all the time. It is not anarchy though and the rules are posted in the Discord.
You have to join the Discord to whitelist yourself before you can play. The vibe is pretty toxic with swearing so if you cannot handle that then you should not join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAdults Only Cozy Vanilla SMP
