The Perch is a Minecraft SMP that feels like a second home. It is a survival server that tries really hard to listen to what the community wants and needs. The whole vibe is friendly and low drama so it does not feel toxic at all.

The server is survival focused and it does not want to lose that survival feel. The owners think about how every change will affect normal day to day gameplay. Features are added in a way that feels simple and not bloated. If you do not like some feature you can just toggle it off. Farms and redstone are meant to behave like they do in normal Minecraft.

There is a ranking system based on your playtime. You unlock perks just by playing more which makes progress feel natural. The economy is made to be fair and balanced and there are a lot of player run shops so players trade with each other instead of it being all server shops.

The staff are always talking with the players. They have a suggestions channel tickets and feedback forms every two months. They also post weekly changelogs so you can see exactly what is new or updated. There are monthly events to bring people together and make the server feel active.

There is also a web map where you can view all the different worlds and see what people have built. Overall the server is about chill survival long term worlds and a community that is actually listened to.
