VitaNova is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to keep the normal Minecraft feel but adds a lot more to do. It supports both Java and Bedrock so people can play together.
There is a real economy vibe with progression and quests. You can complete quests to get rewards and unlock ranks just by playing. It also has custom enchantments so you can get stronger for fighting and mining.
Building feels safer here because you can claim land and protect your stuff from griefing. The world is custom too so exploring matters and you can find custom structures.
Fishing and farming are both upgraded with special systems. Fishing has rarities and tournaments and farming is made more rewarding. The server also says it is fully free to play with no pay to win mechanics.
It runs on 1.21+ and the community does events and competitions.
VitaNova SMP Economy With Claims
Fresh Chill Towny Factions SMP
ArcticMC is a new survival server that started just a couple days ago. It feels chill and atmospheric and the community is meant to be relaxed so you can just play without nonstop chaos.
The main idea is Towny mixed with factions. You can build up a town claim land make alliances or try to take territory and start fights. PVP matters here but they use an honor system and it is explained in their rules.
It also has McMMO skills so you level up as you play and unlock special abilities over time. The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and valleys.
They also have custom items and furniture and it is entity based so they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag. If you like building grinding or just hanging out this server is trying to be that kind of home.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPurpleSMP Relaxed PVE Crossplay 1.21.11
