I found a lifesteal SMP where fights actually matter since hearts are on the line. If you lose all your hearts you end up as a ghost in their custom graveyard system so getting wiped feels scary.
The main server wide thing is a Dragon Egg capture game. You kill the Ender Dragon to get the egg then whoever holds it can place it in the overworld and start earning Shards and money every 10 minutes. The longer it stays with you and your team the bigger the payout so people really try to lock it down.
It never stays safe for long because everyone can see the egg location on their live BlueMap and players can buy a tracking compass that points right to it. Anyone can break it and steal it plus you can set bounties on the current holder. It turns into nonstop raids and alliances and messy wars over one block.
It also has Java and Bedrock crossplay so more people can jump in together.
