This server is a hardcore SMP with permanent deathban. When you die you are done and there are no revives. The world never resets so everything that happens stays in the history of the server.
PvP raiding and griefing are all allowed across a massive world. The map is 1 million by 1 million blocks so you can try to hide but you are never completely safe. Every step you take could be your last one.
The server is vanilla but it uses a few plugins that make hardcore more intense. There are player heads that drop. You can open dead players ender chests. There is Simple Voicechat support and advanced player stat tracking and some other stuff that keeps the experience focused on survival.
Over ten months more than fifteen thousand players have joined and around eight thousand have already died. People make bases and alliances and become legends but every legend can fall. All the events are unscripted and player led so the stories feel real with real friendships conflict and betrayal.
There is also a wiki made by players that records the server history. It even has a page that lists every player who joined lived and died. If you want a super hard challenge for you and your friends this server is built for that. Just remember if you mess up you are gone.

Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft with only a few changes and very few rules. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City in the USA.
The server is online all the time and it supports Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. It is recommended to use 1.21.11 so stuff works right.
The world border is massive at 2 million blocks so there is a ton of space to live and hide. There are no map resets and there is no pay to win. PvP and griefing are allowed and the only command you get is /spawn so people far away can still get back to civilization.
Nether roof is allowed and phantoms are removed. Only half the players are needed to skip the night. The main things not allowed are exploits lag machines duping spamming and harassment or racial slurs in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCave Only Semi Anarchy Survival Season 2
CaveMC is a semi anarchy survival server that feels like vanilla but sharper. The whole overworld is underground so there is no surface at all. It is all caves with biomes resources and structures made from custom world generation.
Season 2 is a fresh start and it sounds like survival is meant to be brutal. You have to be smart and tough to last.
There is also a big expansion called the Wasteland Dimension opening on November 8th. It brings new gear to fight over huge mega structures with secrets and a unique currency for a new player driven economy. There is a new spawn too and the dimension has its own custom generated map with special features.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPArcticMC Fresh Chill Towny Factions SMP
ArcticMC is a new survival server that started just a couple days ago. It feels pretty chill and it is made for people who like to build and also want some faction drama.
It runs Towny and Factions so you can make a town claim land team up with other groups or try to take space for yourself. PvP matters here but they also use an honor system and it gets explained in their rules so fights do not turn into total chaos.
There is McMMO style skill leveling so you get stronger by playing and you can unlock special abilities as you level up. They also have custom items with furniture and it is entity based so they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and valleys. The community is meant to be calm friendly and atmospheric so you can grind build explore or just hang out.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSolarPrisons Bedrock Prisons Open Playtest
SolarPrisons is a new Bedrock prisons server I found and it is made for Bedrock players only. It does not do cross play with Java players.
The team is looking for staff right now. The server is getting ready for an open playtest soon so it feels like a good time to join early.
They also talk about rewards for different things and top voters can get free ranks before the test season starts. It sounds like a growing community that wants more players to jump in.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBlothera Hardcore-Lite Roleplay Survival Overhaul
Blothera is a vanilla like survival overhaul server that feels tough and slow in a good way. It uses a bunch of custom in house plugins and it is built around strategy and a world shaped by players.
It is not pay to win and there are no kits. There is no teleport spam and you cannot use coordinates so you have to actually learn the land. You get around with maps and compasses and banners can act like spawn points so outposts matter.
It runs a Hardcore Lite system where each death removes a max heart. You can get max hearts back with golden apples or by sleeping near a campfire. Natural regen from full hunger is turned off so healing is about stews potions golden apples and sleep.
The survival rules are harder too like crops needing sunlight and animals needing open sky to breed. Overcrowding can cause disease and progression pushes you to explore more than one kind of structure.
Every few weeks there is a Bloodmoon night where the sky turns red and stronger monsters show up even in lit areas. They can hear you so sneaking matters.
There is also an alignment system where killing players drops your alignment and can make you a bandit. Bandits are kill on sight and cannot join nations. Nations unlock after the Ender Dragon is defeated and they are run with books and lecterns with records of actions. If things get serious players can siege towns with cannons and airships.
