EU Lifesteal Anarchy PvP Mayhem

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 – Weekly Wipes Endless Grind

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.
