Classic Prison Is Back The Pen
The Pen is a classic prison server that is trying to bring back the older prison vibe before everything turned into super OP stuff. You start simple with leather and iron and you have to work your way up by crafting your own gear.
Diamond gear matters a lot here because you cannot upgrade it into netherite. That makes good tools and armor feel way more valuable and worth grinding for.
The rank path goes from A to H and each rank opens a new mine with different ores. There is also Parolee and Citizen so you can leave the prison and explore the free world and get shards for prestige.
Money is not just one boring method. You can make cash through mining and custom fishing and there is a mob arena that opens at the first prestige.
You can rent cells and plots to build whatever you want like farms storage or just something cool to show off. There are illegal items too like special crops plus weapons chainmail armor and potions. Guards can confiscate them or you might get PvP or sent to solitary.
Staff are part of the roleplay with Guards and Wardens keeping order. The server also listens to player suggestions and tries to build a close community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPArcticMC Fresh Towny Factions SMP
ArcticMC is a new survival server that just launched a couple days ago. It mixes Towny and factions so you can build a town and claim land then team up with allies or fight over territory.
PVP matters here but they push an honor system for fights and it is explained in their Discord rules. It also has McMMO style skills so you level up things like mining and combat while you play and unlock special abilities.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys. There are also custom items like furniture and it is entity based so they plan limits per chunk to help with lag.
The vibe is meant to be calm and friendly and more atmospheric than chaotic. It sounds good if you want to grind build explore or just hang out with chill players.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Semi Anarchy SMP Start Now
I found a Fabric SMP that is trying to fix that problem where you join and everyone is already stacked and the admins are gone. This one is meant to be a fresh start so you are not showing up late.
It is a 1.21.11 Fabric semi anarchy server with light mods. It is mostly small quality of life stuff so it stays smooth and the rest is just part of the game.
The world is still new so there are no huge empires yet and no untouchable players. There are places to explore and loot to restore plus secrets hidden around.
They also run in game rewards and community events. There are invite rewards too and they say they are actively developing it for the long term.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTired of Late SMPs Join Fresh

I found a fresh Minecraft server that is about to launch soon. The owner says it should be tomorrow or the day after because the host is fixing some issues they hit at launch.
It sounds like a new start server with lots of content right away. They also plan to add even more content later so it feels like it will keep growing over time.
