VitaNova is a semi vanilla SMP that runs on community effort and wants everyone to feel welcome. It opened on New Years Day and the custom world still has a lot of untouched areas so exploring feels new.
There are plugins that add extra stuff without turning it into a totally different game. Fishing is revamped with custom fish rarities and tournaments so you can compete for prizes and bragging rights.
Base safety is a big deal here since you can claim land to protect your builds and items. The server is also free to play and nothing important is stuck behind paying since you can earn ranks items and perks just by playing.
It supports cross play for Java and Bedrock and it runs on version 1.21 plus. There are also server events and the player base keeps growing.
