Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server where you really have to think before you move. It is made for both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition so more people can play together.
The world does not reset and the server is non pay to win. There are no teleport commands to other players. You only get randomtp once plus home and spawn. That is it so traveling and exploring still feel real.
The economy is all about players. Coins come from killing mobs and looting chests. There are no normal item shops owned by the server. Instead players trade with each other using a trading system and an auction house so everything feels earned.
There is a big land claiming system. You can claim land for your base and farms so other players cannot grief your stuff. You can add trusted players to your claim so they can build with you. But if you die your claims get deleted and your land is not protected anymore so every death is a huge deal.
The only rank on the store is VIP and it is cosmetic only. It does not give gameplay advantages. There is also a revive that basically respawns you at spawn in survival again just like starting over on a new account.
If you want a hardcore world with no pay to win and almost vanilla rules but still some multiplayer features this server feels like a good place to try.
Waychest Journeys: Solo Start, Shared World
Waychest is a PvE survival server on Java 1.21.11 that feels like you start in your own quiet world. You and your friends begin in a Journey with a random spawn point and it can seem like nobody else is around.
As you explore more you learn the whole place is one shared survival world. Other Journeys are out there doing their own thing and you can eventually cross paths.
The big hook is the Waychests. These special chests can connect across the world and push you to travel farther and find what other players left behind. Later you can craft and place your own to guide the next Journey toward your builds.
There is also a Waychest Flight minigame where you craft an Elytra from found ingredients and fly through rings to reach a Waychest made by a stranger. Fast travel exists too but you have to discover warp points first to unlock them.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRealm of Thrones Kingdom Wars SMP
Realm of Thrones is a crossplay SMP that feels like it is all about building civilizations and making a real community. People make kingdoms and try to level them up over time. You can go for power and conquest or you can stay peaceful and become a trade partner and ally.
It has a ranking system that goes up with in game money and your play time. As you rise you get more access and more prestige. It pushes you to keep playing and growing your nation.
There are configurable tech style parts so players can set up factories and try to become a big industry leader. The server also adds a bunch of quality of life stuff so it does not feel boring.
There is stuff like legendary fishing you can sell and crates you can test your luck with. You can use the server shop or make your own shop. You can also take jobs and get paid for playing while leveling them up. McMMO leveling is part of the grind too. They also just launched around 25 quests and it is new and still being tested with more planned later.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Crossplay SMP No Economy

I found Broomstix SMP and it is a hard difficulty server that works for both Java and Bedrock players. It runs on the latest version with backwards compatibility so people can still get in.
The server has custom enchantments and a cool trick where you can put a lead on mobs to teleport them. There is land claiming with ProtectionStones and the rules say no grief so your builds can stay safe.
There is a bartering economy system plus server shops and a public market. You can also use homes and private messaging and player teleport commands so it is easy to meet up.
PvP is mostly in an exclusive main arena and you keep inventory there. Random teleport is allowed in the overworld and every Sunday you get free fly in the overworld.
The community stuff is strong too with Minecraft and Discord integration and responsive staff. They even do homework help on Discord and there are voting ranks and rewards and tutorial warps.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBuild a Nation in ATM10
I found a modded server called Iperios that runs on All the Mods 10 version 5.5. The main idea is nations where players can make their own group with a government plus laws and ranks.
If you do not want to start your own nation you can join one that already exists. To get in you join their Discord and ask for whitelist then check the new player info channel for what to do next.
After you get whitelisted a staff member helps you and gives a beginner kit so you can start playing. You need the ATM10 modpack installed on version 5.5 to join.WebsiteDiscordGG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
