This is a brand new server called MaineServers and it feels like a real fresh start. When I joined there were no stacked players with everything already taken. You actually get to be one of the first people to play.
The server is a growing network with different game modes. There is Earth Survival where you play on a 1 to 1 scale Earth map and can try to claim your favorite country before someone else does. There is a normal Survival mode that feels like classic Minecraft with a new clean economy. There is Lifesteal where every heart matters and PvP is more intense. There is Skyblock where you build an island from nothing. There is also Towny so you can make towns and nations and set rules with other players.
Since everything is new there is almost no competition yet. The best places on the Earth map and in Towny are still open. You can get your name on leaderboards early and grab the best land. The owner says they do cash giveaways every 15 days so early players have a better chance to win.
The staff seems open to ideas and they want players to help choose what game modes come next. The maps are fresh and the economy is fully reset so it really feels like a clean slate for anyone who wants to start over on a new server.
Whitelisted Semi Vanilla With Insane Builds
I found Blithe and it is a whitelisted semi vanilla survival server with a really talented building community. When you first log in the season 10 spawn area is already super unique and it makes the whole server feel alive.
The staff and owners are experienced and they play daily. The playerbase feels more mature and you can be social or just do your own thing. It has casual players and also more hardcore players but it is not full SciCraft levels.
The server runs on high end hosting so it feels fast and reliable. There is also a live world map you can view online and it shows players in the overworld too.
On survival they use a few plugins like an armor stand editor proximity chat and mini blocks so it feels kind of like those Hermitcraft quality of life options. They also have optional membership perks to support the team and a suggested client side modpack you can download.
There are over 250 whitelisted players and the seasons run about five months. It starts busy around 30 to 50 players then slows down later in the season. They also have a linked permanent creative server that does not reset so people can build big projects test redstone make minigames or just mess around with friends.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad PvP With Weekly Events
Frontline Combat is a modded team based pvp server with a squad and battlefield kind of feel.
They run regular events every week and they keep trying to make each one better. The server uses their own custom mods and content so it feels more unique.
It is Java only and they are trying to grow the player base so more people can join in the fights.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBastion SMP 21+ Long Term Semi Vanilla
Bastion SMP is a 21 plus semi vanilla survival world that is meant to last for a long time. It is run by the host who is a software engineer and they care a lot about keeping the server stable and keeping the world file safe.
The server is whitelisted so random griefers do not get in. The vibe is mature and chill with no drama and the group is supposed to be good neighbors.
It keeps the normal Minecraft feel but has basic anti grief stuff and some quality of life options. The community votes together on what QoL features get added like home or tpa.
Rules are simple. No griefing no stealing and no hacking. Be respectful and do not be a jerk.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy No Hacks Crossplay Chaos
This is a semi anarchy survival server with very few rules so it feels like vanilla chaos. It has been running for almost a year so the world has history and people who stick around.
It supports Java and Bedrock and also console players can join too. Java versions from 1.13 to 1.21.x are supported and 1.21.11 is recommended.
The big thing is no hacks at all. That means no hacked clients no cheats and no xray even with resource packs. No exploiting server vulnerabilities and no crashing or trying to lag the server. Macros and automation tools are not allowed and if you spam chat too much you can get auto kicked.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOblivion SMP Season 2 Launch Tomorrow
Community-Focused Gameplayevent driven serverGlobal friendly pingSurvival no commandsWest Coast Hosting
I found Oblivion SMP and it is starting a modded Season 2. It is a Java only server and they want to build a healthy fun community while still keeping things competitive.
You have to join their Discord and apply to get whitelisted. After you get accepted you can download their custom mod pack and the server info gets shared in Discord before launch.
They added quality of life mods plus new blocks weapons enchants bosses biomes and even a new dimension. PvP is allowed but only in designated areas and you need to read the rules in Discord to understand it.
They say the server is hosted on the West Coast of America and they plan to run events. They also try to keep it true survival with no commands for normal players except the previous champion who only gets /home.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
