I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now

VoidWar Factions Risk PvP Boss Progression
VoidWar is a Java 1.21.11 factions server that is built around long term progression and risky PvP.
The big thing here is custom gear that goes past Netherite. You do not buy it and you do not get it from crates. You earn it by fighting bosses out in the Wilderness.
Boss spawns turn into hot zones since they are in contested PvP areas. If you try to take the kill you also have to deal with other players showing up to steal the drop.
Progress is meant to feel slow and important. mcMMO is capped at 99. Farms and villager enchanted book abuse are heavily restricted. Death also hurts because power loss is on.
The server is in beta and it is looking for players who like testing and giving feedback. There is no pay to win and no pay to skip progress. There is only one cosmetic or convenience rank during beta.
