WilmoCraft

This server feels like a big friend group that decided to make their own world. It is made by the players for the players and you can tell. People hang out and talk a lot and it is all about playing together and having fun.

The server runs on Minecraft 1.21.10 and it is Java only. It is whitelisted so you actually see the same people on a lot and everyone kind of knows each other. There are usually a few people on every day and a lot more who pop in and out over time.

The coolest thing is the proximity voice chat. You can talk in game based on how close you are to someone. There is also a map website so you can see the world. You can sit on stairs and slabs which makes builds feel more alive.

There is an economy with jobs. You can chop trees mine ores and do other stuff to earn money. Then you can unlock cosmetics and commands which makes grinding feel worth it. There is protection for your stuff and a rollback system if something goes wrong.

The server gets updated often with new features that the community suggests and votes on. So it feels like the players actually decide what happens next. You can even join without mods if you want since proximity chat is optional.

If you are looking for a community centered server that feels relaxed and social this one is pretty much that vibe.
