Stonehaven SMP is a small vanilla style server that feels really calm and relaxed. It did a fresh reset on October 19th so the world is still pretty new and people are slowly building up their bases.
The server is focused on chill survival and building. People play at their own pace and just hang out and talk. You can play alone if you want or make new friends. It is meant to be a cozy place where you can build and explore without stress.
It runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 Fabric and only has a few mods that add quality of life and better terrain and structures. There is in game voice chat and land claiming so your builds are safe. You can even fly inside your own claim to make building easier.
The world has upgraded Nether End and villages plus other structures like strongholds mansions and temples. There are custom decorations bridges doors windows pavings lamps and even Christmas and Halloween stuff. Trees fall in one go and there are backpacks waystones custom foods and crops and a better horse riding mod.
There are chests around the world that restock after 18 hours so exploring stays fun. The owner is open to adding more mods if the players ask for them. The server wants a small friendly community where people can chill chat build and maybe speedrun if they feel like it.
