BareBonesMP is a hardcore plus survival server that feels like old school Minecraft. When you die you actually lose a heart and you can go all the way down to only three hearts. To get your hearts back you have to craft a special heart crystal with an echo shard and a diamond block.
You can even go above the normal ten hearts and reach up to twenty but those extra hearts are temporary. When you take damage the extra hearts disappear first so you really feel it when you mess up in fights or caves.
The gameplay is basically vanilla with no teleport commands. Fire spread works creepers blow stuff up and the world actually feels dangerous. Stealing and griefing are not allowed though so it is not an anarchy server. People are here to play hard Minecraft not to ruin each others bases.
This server has been around for years and runs all the time on a dedicated machine. There are quality of life plugins like sleep skipping leaderboards player heads armor stand tools and some other small tweaks but it still plays like normal Minecraft.
The community is active and kind of feels like a hermitcraft type server with a whitelist. There are weekend events monthly mayor elections and even an optional modded and extra hardcore server if you want something different.
There is also an optional proximity voice chat and chat that links in game and the community so people talk a lot and it never feels totally empty.
BareBonesMP Hardcore Plus Survival
Fresh Community SMP Launching Soon
I found a brand new community SMP that is planning to open once they hit 10 players. It is meant for chill people who actually play and talk.
The world is fresh and there is a 3500 radius world border so everyone stays closer together. They say it is no pay to win and they want a friendly community.
They also plan to do events and community builds. Griefers and drama are not wanted so it sounds like they are trying to keep it calm.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCave-Only Semi-Anarchy Survival Season 2
CaveMC is a semi anarchy survival server with an enhanced vanilla feel. The big twist is the whole overworld is underground. There is no surface at all so you live in caves forever.
The world is custom generated and it has biomes resources and structures hidden all through the underground. Survival is meant to be brutal and you have to be smart to make it.
Season 2 is a fresh start and it adds a huge new thing called the Wasteland Dimension. It brings new gear to fight over plus mega structures and mysteries to explore. It also has its own currency so players can build a new economy and trade.
There is a new spawn and the Wasteland map is custom generated with special features you will not find in normal worlds.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh No Rules Anarchy 24 7 Chaos
I found a server called 99b99t and it is a brand new anarchy world. It is the kind of place where anything goes and nobody is going to stop you.
There are no rules and no limits so you can fight grief and survive however you want. The difficulty is set to hard so it feels rough and serious.
It stays online 24 7 and it supports Java versions from 1.12.2 to 1.21.11. The world is fresh so players are still making the first big marks.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRegions War SMP Two Team Survival
Claim based combatearly access communityPassion project buildProtected area claimsStrength zone buffs
RegionsSMP is a soft anarchy survival server that is all about team based PvP and fighting over the world.
It runs as a seasonal SMP where you pick one of two teams and then the war starts. Over about a month players can claim regions across the map and try to take control from the other side.
The main twist is the Regions areas. Some regions are themed around special mechanics like lifesteal and strength so it feels like those old school popular SMP moments.
When your team claims a region it gets protected from the other team unless they own a region next to it. That makes a big push and pull where borders matter and the warzone keeps changing.
The owner says it is a passion project and each season is supposed to improve with changes and new stuff over time. It is war focused but they also want different play styles and they plan to carry custom builds into new wars as protected builds.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAydencraft SMP Java Bedrock Survival
I found Aydencraft and it is an SMP where you can play on Java or Bedrock. It is a survival server that tries to keep things fair and fun while people build cool stuff together.
It has classic survival with an economy so you can trade and work for money. There is land claim and grief protection so your builds can stay safe.
The server also does community projects and events. The staff team is active and the Discord community is friendly. You can play solo or team up with friends and try to build your own empire.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
