Enter the realm of Atropos! Build, survive, and follow the thread through an RPG storyline on a largely unexplored server. Optional quests with rewards are being added all the time, so there's always something new to stumble into if you want a bit more direction than just raw survival.
You can also jump into Hunger Games matches straight from the Survival lobby, and there are Skygrid maps for all world types if you want something a little more chaotic or nostalgic. It's got that familiar 2010s feel for older players, while still being easy for newer players to get into.
The server runs with grief prevention, an economy, tree feller, ViaVersion for backwards compatibility, and Geyser Bedrock cross-play. It's self-hosted and homegrown too, so it keeps that more personal server-owner vibe instead of feeling overbuilt.
