This is a brand new vanilla survival server on Java. It is made for people who just want to play normal Minecraft with friends and relax.
You can claim land so your builds stay safe. Griefers cannot just walk in and wreck everything. It feels nice to build knowing your stuff is protected.
The server runs Fabric so redstone and farms work how they are supposed to. Machines feel smooth and not busted. It really helps players who like building auto farms.
The gameplay is very smooth because it is hosted on a strong dedicated machine with a Ryzen 9800X3D. There is no pay to win at all. You just join and play with everyone on equal footing.
Anyone can join and you are encouraged to invite your friends. It feels like a simple honest survival world that wants to grow into a chill community.
Smooth Vanilla Survival Java 1.21.1
One Year Old Anarchy No Resets
I found a survival anarchy server that has been running for about a year and it keeps the same world with no resets.
It is on version 1.21.11 and it uses custom written plugins so gameplay can feel different and more unique.
The server is based in Finland so it should be really nice for European players who want low latency.
They also say they have reasonable hardware with NVMe SSDs 64GB ECC RAM and a 1 Gbit network so it should be able to handle fights and big builds better.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSalvaris Season 2 End Opens
I found a server called The World of Salvaris and it is all about making a world that feels alive. People build up stories together and it feels like a tight community where you can make friends or enemies.
The world uses a server side mod that changes terrain so it forms into seven continents. Each season they focus big builds on one continent but you can still travel and explore the others.
Season 2 adds extra server side mods for quality of life. They also run community events like a Christmas themed build off and a Geoguessr style event based on the server.
They are opening the End for the first time in Season 2 on Friday Feb 13 at 3pm ET and it comes with a community event too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOrdinary SMP Whitelisted Vanilla Java 1.21.11
I found Ordinary SMP and it is a vanilla survival server for Java 1.21.11. It tries to stay updated so players get the newest stuff.
The community is small and active with people from different places. Players like to build together and work on big shared projects so it feels like a real group world.
It is whitelisted so the server can keep things respectful. They also use Ledger to track activity and help investigate griefing or stealing.
There is a live BlueMap so you can see the world. There is Simple VoiceChat for talking in game plus an AudioPlayer for custom audio.
They have dragon elytra drops. The server also uses a custom resource pack with cosmetics trophies and event rewards with a HermitCraft inspired vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGrief Free Vanilla SMP With Voice Chat
Hydro SMP is a survival multiplayer server that sticks to a completely vanilla style with a few performance mods and moderator tools. It stays on the latest version so it feels current and smooth.
The big focus is safety and fairness. Griefing is not allowed at all and the staff uses tools that can inspect and roll back player actions. They also run a strict no tolerance policy for cheating.
The community is a huge part of how it runs. There are over 2200 Discord members and the server choices get voted on by the players so everyone gets a say.
It also uses a custom resource pack for cosmetics like hats plus custom signs and banners. Nothing is meant to change gameplay. You can also expect things like a live map plus proximity voice chat and some VanillaTweak datapacks like the dragon dropping elytra and extra slabs trapdoors and stairs.
The server is hosted in Germany and they say it is built for strong performance with a Ryzen 9 7950X and 24GB of RAM. They aim for 20 TPS and monitor performance closely.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPeaMC Classic Survival No Teleport SMP
PeaMC is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to feel like classic Minecraft. It keeps things simple so you just survive travel build and meet people without teleports or land claims.
It is whitelist based so it is harder for trolls to get in. The community is meant to be chill and the owner and mods are active in game and on Discord.
Java and Bedrock can both join and it supports versions from 1.7x to 1.21.11. You can form teams and play together.
