This server is a hard difficulty semi vanilla smp that feels really close to singleplayer. The owner cares a lot about performance so the world runs smooth and big farms and big bases actually work.
The gameplay keeps normal vanilla mechanics like spawn and mob farms and even most duplication methods except gravity block dupes. It has a big world border and is very friendly to redstone and mega projects. You can play for a long time because the world is meant to be long term with no resets.
There are a few quality of life things like home points and chest shops that you unlock automatically. There is a land claim system so you can protect your builds and a simple vanilla style economy. PvP is optional and your stuff is protected so you do not just lose everything for no reason.
The rules are posted on the server and there are guides for beginners like how to claim land and how to make chest shops and how chat works. It feels like a place for players who like normal Minecraft mechanics but also want a safe long term world with a small amount of extra features.

MineRealm is a really old survival server that has been running since 2010 and a ton of players have joined it over the years. When I joined it felt like a classic SMP world that just kept going instead of resetting all the time.

The server stays very close to vanilla but there are some custom plugins that add a few unique features and help the community play together better. Almost everything you see is built by players and not some giant prefab hub that was spawned in.
