Stormy Lagoon is a fair long term SMP that supports Java and Bedrock crossplay. It is built to feel balanced and it stays away from pay to win since ranks and perks are earnable.
The server has custom Stormy Items where you can level up tools weapons and armor and get abilities. There is also custom combat gear like a trident shield and spear so fights can feel different.
Progression is a big deal here with daily missions that give Pearls and boosts and quest milestones for longer goals. Pearls can be spent in a shop for perks ranks and cosmetics and you can also gain playtime ranks just by being active.
It runs mcMMO style skill leveling for stuff like combat mining and fishing and it has a player driven economy where people can buy sell and trade. There are monthly resource worlds so the main world does not get wrecked and an RTP menu that can send you across five worlds.
Claims help keep builds safe with advanced permissions and PvP is consensual since you can toggle it. You can also use tags and join messages to customize your vibe and make canvas style pixel art maps with the artmap command.
