Luminary Falls is a cozy long term SMP made for adults. It is whitelist only and 18+ and it aims to feel welcoming and mature with an uplifting LGBTQ+ friendly vibe.
It runs on Java and it also lets Bedrock players join with crossplay. The server keeps survival as the main thing but it adds quality of life plugins and datapacks that do not ruin the vanilla feel and it avoids pay to win stuff.
I also noticed they allow non advantage client mods like Litematica Xaeros Sodium and Dynamic Lights. They use resource worlds so the main world can stay forever and your builds do not get wiped.
There are usually players around at all hours and they say they average about 50 unique players each week. Besides the SMP there is a Creative server with monthly build challenges plus a lobby server with infinite parkour and PvP and an events server is planned with minigames sometimes.
To join you read the rules and apply for the whitelist through their Discord bot.
