This is a hardcore plus survival server that feels almost like classic vanilla but with a twist. Every time you die you lose one heart and you can go all the way down to three hearts. To get your hearts back you have to craft a heart crystal using an echo shard and a diamond block. This can even push you over the normal ten hearts and up to twenty hearts but the extra hearts are temporary and get removed when you take damage.
The world has real danger because there are no teleport commands and all block damage is enabled like fire spread and creeper explosions. Stealing and griefing are not allowed though so it is not an anarchy server. You still have to respect other players builds and items.
The server started as a close knit vanilla SMP community that has been around for years and players sometimes compare it to hermitcraft. There are regular events every weekend and mayor elections every month so the world feels alive. There is also an optional cozy modded server and another hardcore server you can try if you want more.
It runs on a dedicated machine with no lag and it has vanilla gameplay with some quality of life plugins like stats leaderboards sleep tweaks heads and armor stand tools. There is an active discord and text chat connects between discord and the game. There is also optional proximity voice chat if you want to talk to people nearby in game. The map was reset on August 10th 2025 so the world is still fresh.

Banana Split is a casual Bedrock Realm that keeps things mostly vanilla with only a few changes that make the base game feel better.
It has quests you can do and they give rewards so progression feels more fun and clear.
The realm is big on player driven lore and events that get everyone involved. You can start a city state and keep it peaceful or you can build it up and end up in wars. There is space for both builders and PVP players to shine.
There are a few rules and they are there to keep a good balance between freedom and fun.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGrowing Border Origins Lifesteal SMP
I found a brand new SMP that has a weird twist with the world border. It starts small at 500 by 500 and it grows every time someone joins. So the map slowly opens up as more players show up.
It also uses Origins with a bunch of custom options to pick from. If you join early you can even suggest new origins.
The PvP is spicy because it has lifesteal. If you kill a player they lose a heart and you get that heart. If someone dies to the world like fall damage it does not take away hearts.
The server has not started yet so joining now can give you a head start.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMurder Birds SMP Season One Live
The Murder Birds SMP is a long term survival world that is all about creative builds and steady progress. It is made for people who like working together and building up a community over time.
Season 1 is already live and it runs from January 23 to December 24 2026. The server is on version 1.21.10.
The End is locked until October 31st so the End fight and elytras are wait gated. This keeps exploration more balanced for everyone.
There is also the main SMP plus original mini games. Right now it has Skull which is PvE based and Lava Spleef which is PvP based. More mini games are still being worked on.
