I agree with Hyper’s comments.
Survival needs to stay vanilla, it should also be on the latest update. I am a longtime pika player as well and I came back a few days ago after a 2-year break. The economy is totally broken, /shop prices make survival too easy. It is survival not creative. Beacons and elytra's are end game items and should be difficult to obtain/very expensive. Emerald economy needs to make a return. Villagers should be the main way to buy items. Obviously the server shop needs to sell rare items such as elytra, shulker boxes, etc. as not everyone will be able to get them. But normal blocks should not be able to be bought. Mob drops and farm items are the only things that you should be able to sell to the server for vanilla trade prices. This will make more players set up their own shops and trade with villagers and other players.
