Astral Swords is a Java PvP server that feels like normal Minecraft but with extra swords made just for fighting. It runs on version 1.21.10 and it is based in North America so the ping is good if you are close.
The server is mostly vanilla and does not change normal gameplay outside of a custom sword plugin. The plugin adds unique swords that are designed to be fun but also balanced so fights feel fair. Everything else plays like regular Minecraft survival.
There is no whitelist so you can just join and start playing. Players are allowed to build at spawn which makes the center of the world feel busy and alive instead of empty.
PvP events are hosted on a regular basis so there is always something to do if you like combat. There are no pay to win features so people with money do not get unfair advantages. It is all about skill and how well you use the swords in battle.
