This server is a Hardcore Plus survival world that stays really close to vanilla. There are no teleport commands and block damage is fully on so fire spreads and creepers can wreck stuff. Stealing and griefing are still not allowed so it is not anarchy.
The big twist is the health system. Every time you die you lose one heart until you hit a minimum of 3 hearts. You can craft a Heart Crystal using an echo shard and a diamond block to get one heart back. You can even go past 10 hearts up to 20 hearts with temporary hearts that get eaten first when you take damage.
It has quality of life plugins like 50 percent sleep player and mob heads armor stand tools and stat leaderboards. There is optional proximity voice chat and cross chat between in game and Discord.
BareBonesMP has been around since 2019 and it is aiming for that classic server feel with a close community. Events happen every weekend and there are mayor elections every month. The map was reset on Aug 10th 2025 and they also have a main vanilla SMP plus an optional cozy modded and unwhitelisted hardcore server.
Hardcore Plus SMP With Public Voice
Twigland SMP Dark Crop Hustle
Twigland is an SMP where you start off just trying to survive and chill with the community.
People build bases and grind for better gear but there is also this underground crop plugin that can turn normal farming into big money.
That is when the server gets spicy. Players hide farms out in the wilderness and move stuff at night. Some people even pay strong grinders for protection.
It turns into economy drama fast. Shop owners get mad. PvP towns start paying attention. Even mayors get suspicious when someone gets rich too quick.
It feels like normal survival until you realize everyone has a secret hustle.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSunset Retreat 18+ Vanilla Plus SMP
Sunset Retreat is an EU based seasonal SMP that stays close to vanilla but adds a few quality of life extras.
It is for players 18 and up and it is whitelisted so the place feels more chill and mature.
The server runs vanilla plus features like VoiceChat mob and player heads Bedrock compatibility and Pl3xMap.
It also uses a diamond economy with player run shops so people can trade goods and services. The owners stay engaged with updates and management and they actually play too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCRACKED HARDCORE SMP NO RULES

I found a hardcore SMP that is just vanilla survival but with hardcore turned on. It is not scripted and it supports cracked Minecraft.
You do not need an application to start. You just join their Discord and you can play.
This server has no rules so people can grief bases and kill anyone. There are only three maces on the whole server so it turns into a race to grab one and be the strongest.
They are trying to hit 100 members by the start of summer and build an active positive community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEventide SMP Whitelist Survival Community

The server is whitelisted so you have to apply to get in. It is meant for mature and respectful players who want a long term world and a real community.

I found a small Semi Vanilla SMP that is still being tested right now.
The server is not fully started yet and they plan to begin in about a week. For now it feels like a place to get in early and help test things before the real start.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
