Invictus SMP Season 11 Semi Vanilla

Invictus SMP is a survival server that has been running since 2020 and it is already on season 11 so it feels pretty established but still fresh.
The server is semi vanilla with hard mode and mobs that level up so it is more challenging than normal but still feels like Minecraft and not some crazy mod pack. There are custom plugins but they are focused on gameplay and not a bunch of random stuff. There are also vanilla tweak style changes that just make things nicer to play.
The world has a border that expands over time and the whole world gets reset each season after around six to eight months. That means everyone gets a fresh start pretty often so you do not feel super behind if you join later.
There is a live web map and player stats so you can watch the world grow and see how people are doing. The server also has things like brewery and fishing competitions plus community events so it is not just everyone off on their own.
The community is meant to be chill and friendly and they want players who are over 18 or at least act mature. You are expected to follow the rules and not use hacks x ray baritone exploits or anything like that. If you just want to relax play survival and be part of an active SMP this server feels like it fits that vibe really well.

Harvest SMP is a semi vanilla server that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. It is at the very start of Season 5 so everyone is still early game and there is time to catch up.
The server is focused on a good community and good vibes between players and the admin team. It has quality of life datapacks like AFK display fast leaf decay double shulker shells multiplayer sleep and a bunch more that make normal survival less annoying but still feel like real Minecraft. There are some optional mods too like a world map custom heads and simple voice chat.
They like to take their time with each world. The End is blocked for a while on purpose so late joiners do not feel left behind. In past seasons they built minigame areas casino style stuff and a big shopping district and they plan to do that again this season with events and building contests around spawn.
The player base is pretty mature with people from 18 to 55 so it is more chill than random public servers. Any kind of builder and any skill level is welcome. If you want a long term world with people who like to hang out build shops run games and slowly progress together this server fits really well.
