Waystone is a small semi vanilla Java SMP for people who want a long term world and a chill Hermitcraft style vibe. Players actually build talk and stick around so it feels more like friends than random names.
It keeps things fair with no pay to win and no constant resets. There is land claiming so your builds stay safe without feeling annoying.
Deaths are less stressful because your items get saved in a gravestone for a few hours. There is also a simple skill system where you level up by playing and get small perks over time.
When you go raiding with friends everyone gets their own loot so nobody argues. Proximity voice chat is optional and there is party chat too.
The world has seasons and holiday events plus a live map so you can watch towns and builds grow. It is Java 1.21.11 and it is whitelist only and UK hosted.
Two Teams Battle for Regions SMP
RegionsSMP is a seasonal survival server where everyone gets split into two teams. The teams are called the Melon Marauders and the Pumpkin Patriots. The main goal is to fight for ownership of regions across the world.
Over about a month players can claim regions on the map and battle over them. When a team claims a region it gets protected from the other team unless the enemy owns an adjacent region. That makes the map feel like a big warzone where land keeps changing hands.
The server is a passion project and the owner wants to learn from each season to improve the next one. Expect changes and new stuff over time like adjustments and custom items. Even though it is war and PvP focused they also want things for different play styles and some custom builds can get brought into new wars as protected builds.
