ArcticMC is a new SMP survival server that mixes Towny and factions. It feels chill but there is still territory drama if you want it. You can build a town team up with alliances or go solo and claim your own space.

PVP matters here and they push an honor system for fights. The details are in their rules so it is not just random chaos.

It also has McMMO so you level up skills while you play like mining combat and more. There are custom items too and they even have furniture that is entity based with plans for limits to help with lag.

The world uses tectonic generation so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys. The community is meant to be calm friendly and atmospheric so you can grind build or just vibe.
