They were wastes of time

El Dorito is a semi vanilla SMP that feels really chill and friendly. The server is all about good vibes and no griefing so you can actually relax while you build.

There is an economy system with jobs so you can earn money and sell stuff. Players can make shops and warps so you can create your own base or even a whole town and invite people to visit or trade.

The server has events like vote parties and chat games so people are usually talking and hanging out. There are crates and ranks you can unlock for extra rewards so you always have something to work toward.

You can protect your builds with a grief prevention plugin so random people cannot destroy your stuff. There are special enchants you can buy like vein miner or replanter and there is a skills system and PyroFishing so you can level things up and make your tools and gameplay feel stronger.

You can even catch mobs and move them with mob catchers which is really fun for farms or cool bases. There is also a leveling system with quests that give free rewards so you do not just grind for nothing.

The server is crossplay so both Java and Bedrock players can join. It is whitelist only so the community stays more focused and respectful and the people running it seem to care about keeping it fun.
