The Perch is a survival server that tries really hard to feel like a second home and not just another random world. It focuses on what the community wants and stays away from drama and toxic players.
The gameplay is mostly survival and it keeps that normal Minecraft feel. The staff think about how every change will affect players day to day so the server does not get bloated with weird stuff. Farms and redstone builds are made to work like they do in the base game and if you do not like a feature you can turn it off.
There is a ranking system that goes up as you play more so you unlock perks just by spending time on the server. The economy is meant to be fair and balanced and people can run their own shops. There are small gameplay tweaks to make things nicer but it still feels like real survival.
The community talks a lot with the staff. They use suggestion channels tickets and feedback forms every two weeks so players can share ideas. The staff post weekly change logs so you can read what changed on the server and they also host monthly events so people can play together more.
You can even check out a web map to see all the worlds plus some stats and rules. Overall it looks like a cozy survival server where the players actually help decide how things work.
