Gem Bound SMP With Superpowers

This server is called Gem Bound SMP and it is a small private survival world with seasons. Each season they change the main plugin so the gameplay feels different and the new one is based on the Bliss SMP plugin.
When you join you get a random gem that gives you special powers. Some gems let you fire daggers or cast fireballs and there are other unique abilities too. The server uses an energy and lives system so PvP feels more strategic and your fights really matter because kills give you energy you can use to progress.
The server is whitelist only so it is not full of random people. They want dedicated and friendly players who actually stick around and talk. It feels like they care a lot about having a curated community and keeping each new season fresh.
If you like survival with powers and you enjoy PvP that has risk this is the kind of SMP that will probably keep you playing for a while.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP5tarRock Semi Vanilla Realistic Survival Launch

This is a small server called 5tarRock that has been in development for a few months and it just released. The world is completely custom and they changed how ores generate and how combat works. There is also a special climate system and more stuff based on realism.
The server is semi vanilla but you actually have to work for your items. You cannot just build crazy auto farms and let the game play itself. A lot of easy automation is disabled so players have to play for real and earn their gear.
The community feels small and chill and they are clearly still growing and looking for new players who like survival and realism. They also have a contest going on right now where people can redesign their logo and banner. The prize is 125 dollars if your design wins.
If you want a survival style server where you grind and do not get free stuff this server seems pretty good.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTwilight SMP Semi Anarchy PvP Chaos

Twilight SMP is a semi anarchy survival world where players can fight anywhere. There are no plugins that mess with pvp and there are no land claims or safe zones.
If you see another player you can attack them. There are no special rules for combat so it feels really intense.
You are allowed to build at spawn and your build is safe from grief but other players can still kill you there. So spawn looks cool but is still dangerous.
People can make alliances and play in teams if they want but nothing stops others from turning on you. It feels like social chaos without the whole map getting completely destroyed.
The server uses Simple Voice Chat so you can talk to people while you play. That makes fights and team ups way more fun and also more scary.
It is good if you like pvp or just want something to do with friends on a wild server.
