This server is called Exodus and it is a semi vanilla survival server that is all about geopolitics. It started about two months ago and it is more focused on geopol stuff than roleplay. You can make nations fight wars and make deals and all that.
If you are not good at pvp it is still fine. You can just build or do politics or whatever you like. The server is made for different kinds of players. There is a world border of 5000 by 5000 so the map is not huge. Because of that resources are limited so people have to trade instead of grabbing everything alone.
There are some clear rules. No griefing and no duping and no using x ray. The End and the Nether are closed so everyone has to stay in the overworld. Farms have to be hidden so you cannot just make giant laggy farms everywhere. There are also rules that are made to improve pvp so fights are more fair and fun.
Overall it feels like a mix of survival and political strategy. Everyone has to live close because of the world border so it makes more player interaction and trade and conflict.
Exodus Semi-Vanilla Geopolitics Survival
Fresh Vanilla SMP Starts Feb 20
I found a normal SMP that is starting up soon and it is meant to feel like regular Minecraft survival.
There is no economy stuff and it is not modded. They only use a few plugins and it sounds like they are kept light so the gameplay stays mostly the same.
It has crossplay and the server is up 24 7. They also say there will be no resets so you can build long term. Launch is on Feb 20.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKingdoms SMP Launch Day War Ready
This is a roleplay factions style SMP where players make their own kingdoms and decide how they want to live.
You can declare war on other kingdoms or stay peaceful and focus on building up your place.
The world is a custom 10k by 10k map and the nether and the end are disabled.
There are weekly events planned and it looks like a bunch of people are already waiting to start. Joining early can matter since there are custom structures around the map with loot to find.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets
I found Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like vanilla. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
The server is online all the time and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They recommend 1.21.10 so stuff works better.
The world is huge with a 2 million block border and it says there are no map resets. There is no pay to win and there is no teleporting. PvP and griefing are fully allowed.
The only command they allow is spawn so players far away can get back to civilization. Nether roof is allowed. Phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They still block stuff like exploits lag machines duping and spamming. They also do not allow harassment or racial slurs in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRelaxed No Reset 18+ Vanilla Plus SMP
HoneyBlossomSMP is a relaxed survival server that feels like classic Minecraft but with some Vanilla plus changes that make stuff easier day to day.
The pace is slower and people actually talk and work together so it feels more like a real community instead of everyone hiding in solo bases.
It is 18 plus and the world does not reset so your progress matters and big builds and towns can keep growing over time.
I saw features like player warps for getting around player shops for trading claims to help protect builds events for fun and a PvP toggle so fighting is optional.
You have to verify through Discord to join and that seems to help keep trolls out and keep things friendly.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCaldra SMP Roleplay Nations War Survival
The Lost Land of Caldra is a newly started SMP that leans hard into roleplay and fair survival. It is built around players making characters and building real connections between towns and nations over time.
The server tries to keep everyone on equal ground. Big automated farms like creeper iron gold and raid farms are not allowed. This pushes people to trade more and actually rely on other players to keep the world feeling alive.
Players team up to form nations and make their own laws and flags. Nations can also go to war so people can fight for honor and prove who is stronger. The Discord is active too and people share lore art and writing plus server news.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
