This is a semi anarchy raiding survival server that has been running since 2011. It feels really old school and there is almost no staff stuff getting in the way.
You can raid and grief other players and there are no land claims or base protection. Lapis is used like money here. You can set a home and use tpa so you can move around the map and visit people if they accept.
The world is normal vanilla generation and the difficulty is hard. The End gets reset on the first day of every month so it is a bad idea to build a base there. Players can collect spawners too.
There are some rules. You cannot use hacks macros or mods that are not on the permitted list. You also cannot abuse duplication bugs except for TNT rails carpet string and tripwire hooks. You have to listen to admins and mods when they tell you to do something.
Most people who play are from North America but anyone can join. Some players are friendly and helpful and some are pretty toxic because there is not much moderation. If someone is annoying you can use the ignore command on them.
Overall it is a rough server where you have to hide your stuff raid other people and just survive in a hard world with very little protection.

EchelonMC Custom SMP Built To Last

EchelonMC is a custom survival SMP that is built for long term building and teamwork. It is not trying to be a PvP chaos server and it is not for stealing or griefing. It feels like the point is to grow a real community world that keeps moving forward.
The server runs on Minecraft Java with 1.21.11 recommended and older versions supported. It is hosted in Canada and it has been actively developed for about a month with frequent patches. It also says it has no pay to win.
A big part of the server is custom coded systems made for this world. You can create paths just by walking and you can get speed bonuses on them and it is toggleable. There is also a currency you earn by playing that you can spend on progression and useful quality of life stuff.
Land claiming looks serious with visual borders and per chunk settings plus protection options like TNT fire spread raids fluids and mob controls. You can publish public chunks so people can visit builds and you can earn rewards from visitors and climb build rankings. There are teams with invites shared utilities and team nametags plus graves and /back to help you recover items after deaths and teleports.
It also has voting rewards discord linking and a chat bridge a spawn hub with custom NPCs and utilities and anti x ray protection. The features and balance are shaped by player feedback so it is meant to change with the community.

This server is about infinite islands that never reset so you can keep growing your space forever. You can start an island and stick with it long term or make a new profile if you get bored then swap back anytime.
There are custom cave systems with multiple levels. The ores regenerate so mining stays worth it. You will also run into custom mobs and bosses so it feels like you always have something to fight.
Fishing is a big deal here with over 100 unique textured fish to catch and collect. There are also 60 fishing mobs to hunt.
Progress is guided by hundreds of quests. There are seasonal payouts so you can compete for leaderboards or just play casually. They are also recruiting staff so joining early matters.

I found a Lifesteal SMP that is starting on February 28th. It is built around PVP and base raiding so people can fight and go after each other.
The lifesteal part is tied to PVP deaths. You only lose a heart when another player kills you so natural deaths are not as scary. They are looking for more players to join.
