BackToBlocks is a simple survival server that sticks close to vanilla but still adds some quality of life stuff. It works for both Java and Bedrock players so friends can join even if they are on different versions.
The spawn is built by the community and the server runs events sometimes. There is a decorated Nether hub and a decorated End island too. Players also have a shopping district that is run by the players.
You can use stuff like sethome and tpa plus a few other light features. There is also itemflip where you can gamble items just for fun and you can toggle phantoms.
The vibe is no pay to win and not super focused on PvP. PvP and raiding are allowed but only within limits and griefing is not allowed. It is mostly about survival and community and building cool things.
