This also includes no grief protection or claims, so be careful where you build your base.There is no staff on the server, so there is no one to help you if you get into a dispute with another player.The server started in 15.01.2024 after the complete shutdown of 16b16t.org

Hardvival

Anarchy, Economy, PvP, Survival

🔥 🔥 🔥

Welcome !Hardvival SMP is a new semi anarchy server with a strong focus on survival aspects of the game. We redefined the meaning of survival in the game by drastically changing some features to provide more entertaining and challenging experience for everyone.To achieve that, we’ve overhauled the gameplay, wether it being by simple changes to mob difficulty, drops and player regen or complex ones like ore generation, farming, trading and even dimension tweaks, we did our best to reduce the no-effort aspects and thus making the survival more enjoyable!Despite all that, we still maintain the vanilla feeling that usually doesn’t interfere with the core gameplay and by being a semi-anarchy, we put little to no restrictions on the way you play and interact with others. (except for cheating) Wether you’re a pvper, builder, explorer, grinder, fishing enjoyer or even just came here to chill. You’re welcome to join our server and its growing community !
