The Den SMP is a vanilla inspired survival server made for an 18 plus community that wants a calm place to play. It started on March 1st 2026 and it has 20 plus members with a respectful vibe. The server is hosted in Texas and it supports Java and Bedrock players.
It is whitelisted so you have to fill out a short application before you can join. The goal seems to be long term survival with less drama and more steady community play.
The server has a Survival Guide that helps you find everything. It includes vanilla friendly cosmetics plus custom tags and daily tasks that reset every 24 hours. There are weekly events and community events and there is a leaderboard for weekly monthly and all time stats.
For safety they use CoreProtect to help deal with griefing or stealing. There is also Dynmap so you can check out the world and find towns and shops. They also have Mobdex so you can hunt rare mob variants and fill up an encyclopedia.
