This is a hardcore plus survival server that feels almost like classic vanilla but with a twist. Every time you die you lose one heart and you can go all the way down to three hearts. To get your hearts back you have to craft a heart crystal using an echo shard and a diamond block. This can even push you over the normal ten hearts and up to twenty hearts but the extra hearts are temporary and get removed when you take damage.
The world has real danger because there are no teleport commands and all block damage is enabled like fire spread and creeper explosions. Stealing and griefing are not allowed though so it is not an anarchy server. You still have to respect other players builds and items.
The server started as a close knit vanilla SMP community that has been around for years and players sometimes compare it to hermitcraft. There are regular events every weekend and mayor elections every month so the world feels alive. There is also an optional cozy modded server and another hardcore server you can try if you want more.
It runs on a dedicated machine with no lag and it has vanilla gameplay with some quality of life plugins like stats leaderboards sleep tweaks heads and armor stand tools. There is an active discord and text chat connects between discord and the game. There is also optional proximity voice chat if you want to talk to people nearby in game. The map was reset on August 10th 2025 so the world is still fresh.

Rattata SMP is a survival server that really tries to stay close to vanilla. It runs on paper and lets both java and bedrock players join so more people can play together.
The server is made for a mature 18 plus community. It was started by a group of friends who wanted a simple place to chill and build. The rules are basically do not grief and use common sense so it feels relaxed but still safe.
The gameplay is on hard difficulty and there is no teleport system. Loot tables are not changed and the world generation is the normal vanilla kind. It is just basic Minecraft survival without weird extras.
There is a live map so you can see the world from a browser. Only 33 percent of players online need to sleep to skip the night which helps on a busy server. There is a whitelist so you have to apply before joining. There is also a simple voice mod that is optional if you like talking while you play.
Overall it feels like a calm adult server where people want to enjoy vanilla survival together and slowly build a community.

This server is called Bone Voyage and it has a special community build world. The community world is totally separate from the other worlds so your progress and items do not mix. In this world players are in creative mode so you can just build as much as you want.
To build here you need the Trusted role. You join their discord and make a simple application in the trusted channel. When staff approve you they give you the rank in game and then you can go through a portal at spawn into the community world.
Building in this world is mostly unrestricted. They only use flags to stop griefing stuff like TNT and similar things. You can build alone or with friends and the server plans building events where everyone works together on cool projects.
When a build or a part of a build is finished the staff use worldguard to protect it. That way nobody can ever mess it up. If you are doing a solo project they will protect that too once you are done.
It feels like a place for people who really like building and want a safe creative world with staff watching over it.

Solarian SMP Season 7 is an 18 plus survival server that feels really relaxed and friendly. It has a brand new world so everybody is starting fresh and can build up from nothing together.
The server is focused on long term play and people who just want to chill and hang out. Seasons usually last around six to eight months so there is enough time for big builds and slow progress without feeling rushed.
There is a shopping district where players run their own shops and use diamonds to trade. It is all about a community economy and people trading with each other instead of some huge admin shop.
Rules are pretty minimal. The main one is to not be an ass. The staff says they are not power tripping and the server is very community focused so players help shape how things feel.
You have to be 18 or older and you need to be whitelisted. There is an application where they try to learn who you are as a person and not just how good you are at Minecraft. If you get denied you can try again later for a second chance.

Pentaxis SMP is a Minecraft server that is super focused on roleplay. Every player starts out as someone who came from another dimension and now they ended up in the overworld together. The dimension you pick decides your starting story and where you begin and how your character feels about all of this.
There are five custom dimensions made by the admins. One is a loose group that follows a big shared plan. Another is a mix of tribes that fight to survive and believe strength brings peace. There is an order that worships a higher being and follows a trinity idea. There is also a group of former nomads that now carry the legacy of a huge old empire. The last one is a strict and exclusive order that uses strong traditions to fight off doom.
The exact themes of each dimension are still hidden from most players so it feels mysterious when you join. Everyone is in the same overworld but they come from very different backgrounds. You can build alliances and make enemies or just chill and have fun building and hanging out.
From what I see the server is all about telling your own story with other players. You choose your side and then you decide if you want to stay loyal to your home dimension or go your own way. It is a good place if you like lore and roleplay and want to shape the world with your character.
