This is a small server called 5tarRock that has been in development for a few months and it just released. The world is completely custom and they changed how ores generate and how combat works. There is also a special climate system and more stuff based on realism.
The server is semi vanilla but you actually have to work for your items. You cannot just build crazy auto farms and let the game play itself. A lot of easy automation is disabled so players have to play for real and earn their gear.
The community feels small and chill and they are clearly still growing and looking for new players who like survival and realism. They also have a contest going on right now where people can redesign their logo and banner. The prize is 125 dollars if your design wins.
If you want a survival style server where you grind and do not get free stuff this server seems pretty good.
5tarRock Semi Vanilla Realistic Survival Launch
New Town Server Seeking Lore Writers
I found a fresh server made by a small group of friends and they want more people to jump in.
There is already a town started and you can move in with them or you can go make your own nation.
They are also looking for lore so if you like making stories and helping the world feel real this place is aiming for that kind of vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Maze RP With Powers And Mystery
This is a modded server that feels like you got dropped into a tight maze and you have to survive with way less stuff than normal. Everyone is close together so you run into people fast and it makes the whole place feel tense.
You do not just chill and farm forever. You are pushed to build automation if you want to keep going long term and progress can feel slow compared to other modded servers.
The big twist is that players can have superpowers and they are not balanced on purpose. That means there is a real hierarchy and power struggles are part of the point.
Improv roleplay is expected and the story is community driven with mystery and hidden progression. It is not beginner friendly and you should be ready for competition and conflict. You have to apply to join and it is aimed at North America with EST in mind.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRedLine Season 2 Semi Anarchy Reset
RedLine Season 2 is a semi anarchy survival server that just reopened with a full reset. It runs on 1.21.11 and it is built for people who want real risk and real fights.
Griefing stealing killing and prisoning are allowed. Hacking duping and exploiting are not allowed to an extent and the server explains more about that. There are also no easy command shortcuts like sethome ah or claim so you have to play it out.
The world border is 12k by 12k. The nether opens a few days after launch. Ender chests are limited to one row so hiding valuables matters.
There is no pay to win but you can buy cosmetic tiers. There is also a RedLine System where you can collect special named weapons with skins if you use the custom resource pack. Sets include a sword a mace and an axe and only one of each can be made so people race and fight for them.
Some strong kits include the mace without fireworks and the TNT cart. Netherite is unbanned now and that brings in a netherite SMP kit and a trident spear kit. There are also custom recipes like the mace costing three cores and the spear using netherite blocks.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNether Opens 3PM UTC Fresh Start
I found a server that is already running and it is trying to avoid that same old problem where people get stacked too fast and everyone quits. This one is a 1.21.11 Fabric semi anarchy server with light quality of life mods. It says it is not pay to win and nothing is game breaking.
The big moment is the Nether opening at 3:00 PM UTC. That is when the rush starts for quartz and nether gold and ancient debris. The world is still fresh so it feels like you are not late and there are no unstoppable empires yet.
They also say there are in game rewards plus community events and invite rewards. The server is being developed for the long term and not just a one week hype thing.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermit Style SMP With Proximity Chat
All Outta Blocks is a community centered SMP that feels like Hermitcraft. It is made by the players for the players and the server changes can come from requests and polls.
It sticks close to vanilla but still adds some fun stuff. There is a diamond based economy with a shopping district plus public builds and big projects. Proximity chat is a big deal here and a lot of players actually use it.
You can use homes and there are some cosmetic and quality of life plugins too. The server is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it is whitelisted and 18+ only.
There are usually around 5 to 20 people online during the day and there are lots of regular active players. If you want friends there are groups that are looking for new members.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
