This is a survival server called BareBonesMP and it feels like one of those old classic servers from back in the day. It has been around since 2019 and it is built around a whitelist so the community stays close and people actually know each other.
The main world is basically vanilla but it has some quality of life plugins. There are things like better sleep rules and tools for armor stands and some extra stats and heads so it still feels like normal Minecraft but smoother.
They run events every weekend so there is always something to do. There are even mayor elections every month so players can get into fun community stuff instead of just grinding alone.
There is also an optional cozy modded server and an unwhitelisted hardcore server if you want a bigger challenge. You can still hang out with the same community while you do it.
The server runs on a dedicated machine so it is up all the time and has no lag in normal play. The discord is active and they use text chat that connects the game and discord so people can talk even when they are not online in Minecraft.
They also have optional proximity voice chat so if you like talking in game you can use that too. The world map was reset on August 10th 2025 so the survival world is fresh but the community is already experienced and organized.
BareBonesMP Classic Survival Community
Australia Vanilla Anarchy No Rules Ever
I found this server called LegacyMC and it is a raw vanilla anarchy survival world. It has no rules and it is meant to feel like classic Minecraft where players decide everything.
There are no pay to win systems and nothing that changes gameplay with plugins. You also do not get land claims or teleporting so you have to travel and survive the hard way.
It started in June 2025 so the world is still pretty new and you can still make a name for yourself. PvP is on and griefing raiding and destroying bases is allowed. There are no resets and no admin interference so what happens stays.
The server runs on dedicated hardware in Australia so it is aimed at low latency for Australia and New Zealand players. It is open to everyone with no whitelist and you can just join and play.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Modded SMP With Big Mods

SB2t is a brand new true anarchy server with a fresh world starting at launch. It is made to run for a long time and it aims for good performance and transparency.
The server says there are no wipes and no resets ever. There are no teleports so you have to travel the real way. It also says no pay to win so players win by playing.
It supports versions 1.18 through 1.21.11. The backend uses a Folia based core and it runs behind a Velocity proxy with a queue.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPProject Tempus: 4-Hour Civilization SMP
I found a server called Project Tempus and it is built to feel like a real civilization under pressure. The server is only online for four hours each day and it runs in set windows. That means everyone shows up at the same time and stuff like trading politics and fights happen in person.
Your base stays safe when the server is offline so you do not get wiped while you are asleep or at school.
The big twist is the time economy. You earn time just by staying alive in game and you can spend that time to craft stronger gear. You can also trade time to other players like paying someone with minutes.
There is also a class system so people have to work together. Farmers are the real crop makers because food grows way slower for everyone else. Smiths lower the time cost for crafting and repairs. Mercenaries get combat help because mobs are stronger. Miners get better yields for gathering resources.
It is hardcore too. If you die you get banned until the next window opens unless you pay a big time tax to come back right away.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHearthbound Long Term Semi Vanilla SMP
Hearthbound is a Java survival SMP that feels like it is built around people first. The world is meant to last and they are not planning resets so you can actually keep working on your builds and progress.
The server is semi vanilla and it aims for a respectful and positive vibe. They want players who talk and work together and stick around. They also say they do not allow toxicity and they try to grow slowly to protect the community.
It is whitelist only so you have to fill out a short application. Applications are checked within about a day and then you can join if you fit the vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
