LightRealms SMP is a small whitelisted semi vanilla server that has been running for almost eight years. It is made for people who just want to enjoy normal Minecraft with others without a bunch of crazy plugins.
The server runs on version 1.21.10 with Fabric. There is a survival world and also a creative server where players can test builds before making them in survival. It keeps the vanilla feel but adds a few extras like a wandering trader datapack, armor statue tools, dragon dropping elytra, double shulker shells, more mob heads, player head drops, AFK display and a dynmap. There is also an audio player mod so you can add custom audio to music discs and horns.
The community is mainly adults from different walks of life. Everyone goes through a verification process so only real players get in and trolls and griefers stay out. There are community events and an active playerbase but it still feels like a small community where people know each other. There are no unnecessary moderators or overpowered staff. Everyone just plays as a normal player.
If you like exploring, building dirt huts or huge castles, or making complex redstone contraptions this server lets you do that in a safe relaxed place.
