This server is called Five Fate SMP and it feels really intense. Everyone only gets 5 lives so every fight actually matters. When you lose a fight you do not just die instantly. You can get downed instead and then you have 10 seconds for someone to save you.
The server is very pvp focused and people can steal your loot. Raiding bases is allowed and there is griefing but they try to keep it to a minimum. If you hide your base really far away like around 500 blocks it is fair game if someone finds it.
The owners say it is friendly for streamers and youtubers. They want more than 20 players so it feels alive. It is meant for players who are 16 or older and who like risky pvp and stressful survival.
If you want a server where trust is hard and every life is important this one seems pretty cool.

I found a vanilla survival server that runs on hard difficulty and it feels like real survival. There is no keep inventory so dying matters and you have to be careful.
The world is meant to last and it is not doing quick resets. People play on one shared map and it has a lot of players on most days so the world feels alive.
There are no land claims and no locked chests. It works because the server leans on trust and active moderation.
There are no kits and no payments or perks. Progress feels earned and long term builds feel worth it.

I found an SMP that is all about conflict betrayal PvP and loss. If you cannot handle dying or losing items then this is not for you. The server expects you to take hits and keep going.
Everything is meant to be fair. The world is brand new so there is still loot and structures around. Nobody is way ahead and there is no pay to win.
You cannot get offline griefed. If you are not online then people cannot destroy your base. But if you are online there is no special protection so raids can happen and fights decide what happens next.
