This is a hardcore Minecraft server where you only get one life and that is it. If you die you are gone forever so every move feels risky.
The server tries to stay mostly vanilla but it changes a few things to make hardcore feel better. The world will never reset so every build every ruin and every base you leave behind will always stay there. It feels like real server history because there is even a wiki that people use to write stuff down.
There are some custom features that make things more interesting. There are statistic leaderboards so you can see who is doing the best. Player heads drop when someone dies so fights actually leave trophies. There is also a way to turn off phantoms if you hate them.
The server is semi anarchy so you can pretty much do what you want. Still there are a few limits to protect the spawn area. Lava casting is blocked and you cannot spawn withers close to spawn so the main world does not get totally destroyed.
The server runs on version 1.21.11 and it lets people join on 1.21 and above. If you want a hardcore world that lasts forever and actually remembers what players did this server is made for that.
Just Another Hardcore Semi-Anarchy World

Semi-Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets
chat kept cleanClassic progression pathCombat ready worldcommunity-driven chaoshardcore survival vibes
I found this semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft with only a few changes. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
It stays online all the time and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They say 1.21.10 is the best to use so you do not run into problems.
The world is huge with a 2 million block border and it does not do map resets. There is no teleporting and no pay to win. PvP and griefing are allowed so it can get messy fast.
The only command they allow that is not vanilla is spawn so people far away can get back to civilization. Nether roof is allowed phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They still have some limits since exploits lag machines duping spamming and harassment or racial slurs in chat are not allowed.

I found SwiftServers and it is a Minecraft hosting platform that is free to use. It is made for people who want a server fast without dealing with slow queues or a messy panel.
They say they built their own custom control panel from scratch so it feels lightweight and easy to use. You can spin up a server in seconds and it supports Vanilla plus Paper and Spigot.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMythvale Towny Wars With Real Consequences

Mythvale is a competitive survival server where towns matter and wars are planned out. It is built for people who like long term progress and player politics instead of random raiding.
Towns can claim land and build protected settlements so your work is not just deleted overnight. When wars happen the fights are structured and the goal is to plunder town money not erase the whole town off the map. It also avoids offline land loss so it feels more fair.
The world uses custom terrain with mountains plains coasts and valleys so where you build can actually matter. The map is meant to stick around with history that stays and future expansions instead of full resets.
It supports both Java and Bedrock so more friends can play together. The economy is player driven with shops and progress is meant to be permanent.
