Idle SMP is a Java 1.21.11 Paper survival server that feels more like a hangout than a battlefield. It started from a Warframe community and now it is a chill place where people build stuff and make friends instead of focusing on PVP and griefing. The server is about a month old so there is still tons of room for new players to leave a mark.
It has a vanilla enhanced vibe with a custom modpack option mentioned for players who want that. There is BlueMap so you can see the world and it also has Discord chat so people can stay connected. The server runs a diamond backed economy and a custom fishing system helps support it. There is also a growing shopping district with player run shops.
For safety it uses paid anti cheat land claim with a shovel plus gamerule tweaks and rollbacks. The staff and community are described as friendly and inclusive and it is LGBTQ friendly. Big choices and future updates are decided with community votes. They also welcome content creators and they talk about future plans like custom dungeons and quests based on feedback.
They say there are no pay to win packages and any support is cosmetic only. The server is hosted in the EU with good ping for US and global players and has an 80 player cap.
