SettleScape

SettleScape is a small, tight-knit server with high-quality, open-source configuration, quality moderation, and a mature playerbase. It is a survival PvE server, focused primarily around the construction of towns. While the server does accept donations to stay afloat, it operates essentially as a non-profit; and all funds earned in excess of the amount needed to stay online go either to improving the server, or as redonations to the plugins that make the server what it is -- so supporting SettleScape directly supports the Minecraft server development community at-large. The server has been around since mid-2019 and intends to stay up for the long-haul. The world is persistent -- players can rest assured that their countless hours of hard work will never be deleted. Even in the event that the server goes offline forever someday, world downloads will be provided. The server has an aggressive backup strategy with a separate, off-site server; so even if the server host goes up in flames, your builds are still safe. Some notable plugins on the server are Towny, mcMMO, rankup, Beacon+, Jobs, and plenty more. Players who encounter bugs are encouraged to lodge issues on the server's GitHub issue tracker; and there is an in-game bug bounty of $1000. There is a no-tolerance policy for bad actors, griefers, etc. SettleScape has a small team of experienced moderators who will not stand for violations of the server's few, but sacrosanct, rules. While children are not disallowed on the server, there are currently no special arrangements made for them. Children under 18 should seek their parents' approval before playing on any public Minecraft server. Children under 13 are not allowed on SettleScape except with parental supervision.
