This server is called Summit Survival and it feels like old school Minecraft. It started in 2020 when the owner and some friends just wanted simple survival again without crazy plugins.
The world runs hard difficulty and is mostly vanilla. There is no land claiming so you can build and explore pretty freely. People are expected to respect each others bases so you have to ask before you touch other builds or move stuff.
The server uses an item based economy where raw gold is the currency. Players run their own shopping district so the market kind of grows with the community.
There are a few quality of life commands like spawn and sethome and a way to skip the night but not a lot of extra stuff. It keeps the game close to the basic survival feeling.
The community leans more mature and they like to talk about real life and joke around. Staff are not power hungry and stay pretty hands off unless someone is cheating or griefing. Rules like no hacking no x ray no big duping and no griefing are taken very seriously.
The server runs on solid hardware with normal mob rates and good view distance. There is also support for Bedrock players on a special port so more people can join together.

This server started pretty normal and people were joining and having fun. Then the owner put it on voting sites and everything went crazy. The tps dropped super low and chat was full of people freaking out.
It was not just lag from players. Someone built a huge lag machine that was so strong you needed render distance on 2 and it could still crash your game. The owner kept restarting the server but the lag came back every few minutes.
Then a player showed the owner where the lag machine was. It was so bad you could not even get close to it. So the owner decided to use world edit and removed a big area of chunks to save the world and the player progress instead of deleting the whole map.
This server is all about wild stuff happening and the owner trying to keep the world alive while players do crazy things. If you like survival with real danger from other players builds and huge lag machines this is the kind of place you hear stories about.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTheBoiz Semi Vanilla PvP Survival

Horizoncraft is a community SMP that feels really friendly and chill. When I joined it felt like everyone already knew each other but they still welcomed new players. People talk a lot and the vibes are pretty relaxed.
The server is mostly vanilla survival. Players build everything in survival and the world feels natural. Sometimes the community votes to use creative mode for a special event or project but that does not happen a lot.
Players do a bunch of different stuff. Some people focus on PvP. Some record videos or stream. Around spawn there is a kind of civilization where people build cool bases and share resources. Other players just go off on their own and live in the wild.
