TogetherMC is now up and running! The sever is hosted in the UK and runs Purpur 1.21.5.

Things you should know:
PVP is disabled by default but can easily be toggled with /pvp
Chat privately with your team using party chat
/tpa and /home and a few other helpful commands are enabled.

My goals for this server are:
To maintain a safe and welcoming community
To eradicate lag without breaking the game
To have somewhere I can just log on and play survival Minecraft with my friends.

It's very early days and I'm not sure exactly where this will go but if you've read my post and are interested please come and join me!
