I found this survival server that feels really different. It is one big vanilla world with over 100 people online and it is not a total mess. Staff is not running around fixing drama all day.
There are no claim plugins and no locked chests. There are no weird money traps. The whole thing is built on trust and everyone seems to take that really serious.
Players make shops and it actually works because stealing is not allowed and people follow that rule. Bases are left alone because the expectations are super clear.
You can join and look around right away. To start breaking blocks and fully play you have to use a command in game and then read the rules and follow the instructions. It makes sure people know how the community works before they can change stuff.
If you want real vanilla survival that still feels like a busy world and not just singleplayer with chat this server is a good example of how it can work when community comes first.
