I want to start playing on a server for fun but not sure which one to pick between these too, what are their differences?
Survival servers tend to be pretty basic minecraft, with little plugins. Factions servers are a step above that in the sense that they tend to have a lot more plugins/features. If you're going solo, i'd recommend just a normal survival but if you want to team up with random people or play with friends, factions might be the way to go.
or like us use datapacksand make plots, rtp, homes, beacons that attract phantoms and kill em(wreck it ralph or whatver) invsee etcThe main goal of survival servers is the main goal of just normal minecraft. Think of survival servers like vanilla minecraft but multiplayer, often times they have a *few* plugins to just help the server run or to protect from cheaters/rule violators.
Survival is more grindyFactions is toxic, competitive and grindy as fuck
