I found a server called Split SMP that runs big civilization events every month or two. Each season has a new twist and this one is Season 4 with a Maze Runner theme.
The event starts Feb 21 and it runs for 7 days. Players get split into four teams so it is all about teamwork and trying to win with your group.
They said past seasons pulled around 150 to 250 players and they are trying to hit 500 this time. Over 200 people already applied so it sounds like it is getting busy fast.
LUMI HARDCORE ONE LIFE SEASONS
I found Lumi Hardcore and it is a hardcore survival SMP where survival actually matters. The vibe is calm and cozy until you mess up.
It is one life only. If you die you get sent to spectator mode and you stay there until the next reset. There are no revives and no second chances.
The world resets every 60 days with a new seed each season so everyone starts equal. It stays mostly vanilla but it has some extra stuff for building and quality of life like Jake’s Build Tools DecoPlus FurniCraft VeinMiner and a tree vein miner.
There is optional proximity voice chat using Simple Voice Chat so you can talk to players near you or stay muted. It supports Minecraft 1.21.11 and Java and Bedrock can play together.

This is a fresh Lifesteal SMP that opened on February 9th so nobody is super far ahead yet. It plays like classic lifesteal where you steal hearts when you kill players and if you die too much you can get wiped.
The server keeps it as vanilla as possible and the spawn area is protected. There is a 10000 by 10000 world border so the world feels contained and active.
One big twist is there are only 3 maces on the whole server and it is first come first serve. It supports all new Java versions and Bedrock players can join too. The server has around 20 to 30 active players and it is growing.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermitiaSMP Community Chaos Vanilla Plus

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.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGothic Metal Live Concert Minecraft Server
Atmosphere heavy worldCreative social spaceevent based serverMultiverse style experienceStreaming friendly server
I found a Minecraft Java Edition server that is built around a live streaming concert event. It is for the gothic metal band HYLDR and it is called Life on Line Sphere The Cloud.
The platform opens on March 12 2026 and the concert date is March 28 2026. The whole thing is trying to feel immersive with a gothic atmosphere and a connected audience.
It sounds like you can explore an open world while the music and storytelling and architecture are part of the experience. It also mixes a physical concert with multiverse streaming so it feels like music crossing worlds.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
