Me and a couple friends have been working on a survival server called Frontier and we just opened it up. It supports both Java and Bedrock so you can join from either one and play together.

The main thing that makes it different is the economy. Prices actually move based on what players are buying and selling instead of being fixed numbers someone typed once. There's also proximity voice chat so when you're near someone you can just talk instead of typing in global chat. The world has scheduled events that happen on their own and NPC residents you can actually talk to. You can also silk touch spawners and move them around, which most servers don't let you do.

No pay to win, no plugins that give people an advantage for paying. Still pretty small right now since we just launched, so if you join early you'll actually get to shape how things go.
