Ballistic SMP is a semi faction style Minecraft server that is built around custom weapons and lore. There are four unique weapons and each one has its own abilities and its own story. There is also a special armor set that is tied to these weapons and their lore so the gear feels really connected to the world.
The server is run as a fair and cheater free place. There is no pay to win and it is meant to be a balanced and well run server. The map right now is 3k by 3k and that might change later but for now it keeps everyone close enough to fight or team up.
There will be admin ran events that shake things up. You can follow the lore and get into the story or you can just focus on building the strongest army you can. There is no set way to play so you can choose your own style.
The server has not opened yet so everyone will start on the same playing field. They are looking for around ten more people to get the SMP started so it should feel like a small but active group when it begins.

Turnabout SMP Season 2 Semi Vanilla
Turnabout is an 18+ whitelisted Java survival server that is semi vanilla and focused on people first. It is about playing Minecraft together and making friends while you explore and build.
The server is one month into Season 2 so the world still feels new for both new and returning players. There are players from all over the world so it is common to find someone online.
The server is LGBTQ+ friendly and it has a zero tolerance rule for hatred toward communities. The goal is to keep the space supportive so everyone can be themselves.
There are frequent events to help everyone get involved like hide and seek building comps and some general RP. It also has quality of life addons like one player sleep mob and player heads and voice chat while still keeping the vanilla feel.
The server runs 24/7 so you can hop on whenever you want.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKonohaven ATM10 Modded Chill Community
Konohaven is a modded survival server running All the Mods 10 version 5.4. It started on December 19 2025 and it is hosted in the Eastern US in Virginia.
The server plays on Hard difficulty and it has single player sleep so nights are not a big pain. There is also a live map so you can check out the world.
The group sounds goofy and friendly and they care a lot about community and being inclusive for everyone. Voice chat is optional with Simple Voice Chat and you do not need extra mods just to join.
It is whitelist only and they usually want players to be 18+ to apply. They also run a Cobblemon server and a semi vanilla SMP if you want other options.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHaven SMP Vanilla Survival With Real Community
Haven SMP is a vanilla survival server on 1.21.10 and it is still pretty young. It is built for people who want a long term world with no map resets ever.
The server keeps things true to vanilla and avoids game breaking plugins. There is a player driven economy where people run shops and trade and it grows naturally over time.
There are no protected land claims so trust and community matter a lot here. The rules are strict and the staff stays active and griefing stealing and harassment are not allowed. Fair play is enforced for everyone the same.
Java and Bedrock players can play together. Proximity voice chat is optional and there are some free quality of life things like temporary graves that hold your items after death plus a few fun commands like sit spin and hat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGrowing Border Origins Lifesteal SMP
I found a Vanilla plus survival server on 1.20.1 that is built around a really weird world border idea. The border starts at 500 by 500 and it grows every time someone new joins. That means the world slowly opens up and it feels like the server is unlocking itself.
It also uses Origins so you can pick from custom origin choices. The owner is still taking suggestions too so it sounds like players can help shape what gets added.
There is also a Lifesteal twist for PVP. If you kill another player they lose a heart and you gain that heart. If someone dies to the environment it does not take away hearts. The server is opening soon and joining early is supposed to give you a head start.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLegionCraft OneBlock With Bosses And Crates
Custom gameplay systemsHarder mob battlesRare loot cratesSolo friendly islandsSurvival challenge map
I found LegionCraft and it is a OneBlock survival server where you start small and keep breaking blocks to grow your island. It feels like every block matters because you are always trying to push forward.
There are challenging bosses and when you beat them they can drop keys. You can use keys on crates to get rare loot and epic gear so fighting is actually worth it.
It also has chunk hoppers so you can automate parts of your island. The server says it is not pay to win so it is meant to feel fair while you build grind fight and loot.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
