Ironbark SMP is a hardcore style survival server where every death really matters. It is semi vanilla so the game still feels like normal Minecraft but with some smart changes that make it more intense.
The main thing is the custom deathban system. When you die you get banned for 1 hour and it doubles every time you die again. There is a monthly global reset and if you manage to survive 48 hours the last increase gets cut in half. So staying alive is super important and planning ahead actually matters.
There is mcMMO and some reworks to food and survival. Mushroom stew heals 3 hearts. Cake gives extra absorption hearts for a while plus resistance and has a cooldown. Totems are disabled so you cannot just cheat death with a totem. This makes fights and exploration feel way more scary and fun.
Ranks are based only on playtime and they do not give gameplay advantages. They are just for looks and status so it stays fair. The whole idea of the server is smart survival cooperation and real risk. It is looking for more mature players who like challenge and a strong community.
Right now the server is in early access after a December 26 launch and there will be a full launch in the new year. You can join early and help shape the world before the official start.

I found a survival multiplayer server that started because the owners could not find a good SMP so they made their own and want a thriving community.

I found a brand new war focused SMP that is totally unscripted and built for fighting and politics.
The world is fresh and nobody really owns anything yet. There are only a couple factions right now so it feels like early days where anything can happen.
There are no land claims and no safe zones and you do not keep inventory. If you get raided then you get raided and if you die you drop everything so bases actually have to be defended.
They want war clans and leaders and raiders who want to take over instead of just farming in peace.
It runs on Java 1.21.10 Paper. They also have custom effects that last almost forever and you do not need a modpack.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMint Survival Semi Vanilla Adventure World
