This server is called Dominion Society and it feels like a Hermitcraft style world that is still pretty new. It is meant to be long term and close to pure vanilla and you can tell they care a lot about building and survival.
They run on version 1.21.9 and the server has a big live event for new members where everyone joins together and starts at the same time. There is a community shopping district where players run their own shops and use the world economy instead of random plugins.
The server has stuff like BlueMap so you can see the world from above and it has proximity chat so talking feels more natural. There is no sethome or tpa so exploring and traveling actually matters. They use quality of life datapacks like AFK display durability pings coordinates HUD more mob heads double shulker shells and more so the gameplay is smoother but still feels like Minecraft.
The community is supposed to be friendly and mature and they want people who will actually stick around and join the group. Rules are simple like respect others no griefing or stealing no hacks or exploits and pvp has to be agreed on. They also do not allow lag machines or spammy farms so the server stays playable.
You have to be at least 16 to apply and they want full answers instead of one liners. If you join early you get to help shape the world and be part of the main events with everyone else.
