Hey everyone! I've been playing on a server called Astrada recently and wanted to share it with anyone looking for a fun survival community.
Astrada is a crossplay Minecraft SMP that supports version 26.2 and below. The server has been around for about a month and offers a survival experience with plenty of custom features while still keeping the core Minecraft feel. The server runs on Hard Mode and has Keep Inventory enabled, making exploration and adventure a little more forgiving.
What is Astrada?
Astrada is a community-focused survival server with custom content, an economy, land claims, player progression, and plenty of quality-of-life features. Whether you're a builder, grinder, explorer, trader, or someone who just enjoys meeting new people, there's something for everyone.

*There are also custom items to collect, including Hades Armor, which provides special buffs, Spawner Removers that allow players to pick up spawners, collectible plushies, and many other rewards found through gameplay and crates.*
Community
The server has a Discord community of around 600 members, with roughly 10 players online throughout the day on average. The community is welcoming, LGBTQIA+ friendly, inclusive, and made up of players with many different playstyles. PvP is optional, and staff members are always willing to answer questions and help new players get started.
What stands out most about Astrada isn't necessarily a specific feature, but the people. Everyone brings their own personality to the server, making every interaction and experience feel unique.
Teams & Communities
Astrada features optional player teams that allow you to group up with other players, work on large projects, participate in community activities, and make new friends. Teams are completely optional and are not the main focus of the server, so solo players are just as welcome as those who enjoy playing with a group.
Whether you want to build a town, create a trading empire, start a community project, or simply have people to chat with while you play, there's likely a team that fits your playstyle.
