Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java survival server that feels like a small friendly town. It is whitelisted so people who join actually want to play and respect others. The community is pretty tight knit and players like to build together and hang out.
The server is always updated to the newest version so you get the latest features. There is grief protection with tools to check what happened so your builds and items can be kept safe if someone tries to mess with them.
This server uses BlueMap so you can view the world on a live map. There is Simple VoiceChat so you can talk in game instead of just typing. They also use AudioPlayer for custom audio which makes events feel more special.
There is a custom resource pack with cosmetics trophies and event rewards that match a HermitCraft inspired theme. Players can even suggest ideas for new custom items which makes it feel like the server is built with the community.
The server runs events like PvP battles build contests and big community projects. It sounds like a place for people who like to build explore do redstone or just relax with others in a friendly survival world.
SnowFallSMP is a small semi vanilla server where people just want to play Minecraft and make new friends. When I joined it felt calm and kind of cozy because everyone is into different play styles but they still hang out together.
There are builders collectors tech lovers experimenters and explorers so the world has a mix of cool bases and weird projects. The rules are pretty simple. You have to respect other player builds and community areas. No hacking griefing vandalism or stealing. No discrimination bullying or harassment. No pvp unless both players agree first and no advertising.
It is a 16 plus server so people act more mature. There is a short application with a few easy questions like your IGN and if you agree to the rules. After you fill that out you can join and start playing. Sometimes they also run events when they can so there is always something to watch for.
This is a European lifesteal anarchy style server where you fight other players and try to survive. It feels pretty hardcore because when you kill players you get extra hearts and when you die you lose hearts. If you lose all your hearts you get banned so every fight actually matters.
They use a bunch of custom plugins to make the game more intense. You can set a home and teleport back to it and you can send teleport requests to other players if you want to team or trap. New players get a one hour grace period so they do not lose hearts right away which helps you get started.
Combat is strict here. If you try to log out during fights you get punished because a npc of you stays and can be killed for your stuff. You also cannot spam commands in combat. There is some protection against crazy movement cheats and chat spam so it does not feel totally broken.
There is an in game store where you spend vote tokens on name colors and custom motds. The server tracks your playtime kills and deaths and gives rewards when you reach milestones. Players can also vote to skip the night with a simple command so you do not always have to sit in the dark.
Overall it is a rough lifesteal survival server that mixes anarchy vibes with some quality of life commands and a few basic protections so the chaos is still kind of fair.
ONLYXP is a really hard survival server that never feels finished. The whole idea is that every player is always racing for experience before each wipe so the field stays even.
There are minimal custom coded plugins and there are no tp or spawn or sethome commands so you have to travel and survive for real. Ranks use xp so the time you spend grinding actually matters.
The world gets reset but the xp you earn does not. This makes every new week feel fresh because you log into a new world and choose new farms and new strategies to get as much xp as possible.
It feels like survival with a real goal instead of just sitting on stuff and waiting to be raided. Your builds and land reset but your grind and your xp stay.
If you want a peaceful chill server this is probably not for you. If you like the grind and like working in teams and like vanilla style pvp this server fits you really well.
I found this server called Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy Minecraft world that tries to feel like pure vanilla. It launched on October 11th 2024 and runs all the time.
You can join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.10 and they say 1.21.10 is best so stuff does not break. The world border is massive and goes out to 2 million blocks so there is tons of space to run and hide.
There are no map resets and no teleport commands so you actually have to travel. There is no pay to win and griefing and pvp are totally allowed so bases are never really safe. The only special command is spawn so people way out can get back to other players. Nether roof travel is allowed and phantoms are turned off and only half the server has to sleep to skip the night.
They still have a few rules so it is not total chaos. You cannot use exploits or dupes or lag machines. You also cannot spam or use harassment or racial slurs in chat. So the server is wild but not totally toxic.
Overall it feels like a survival world where players control everything and staff just stop the super broken stuff.
