GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTrue Vanilla Fabric Semi Anarchy Survival
FabricCraft is a survival server for people who want Minecraft to feel like real vanilla. It runs on Fabric so redstone and farms work the way you expect and the world is meant to stick around.
It is semi anarchy with very few rules and there are no land claims. That means alliances trading raids and rivalries come from players and not from a bunch of plugins doing it for you.
Hacked clients and unfair mods are not allowed. Griefing close to spawn is not allowed within 1k and it gets handled by active moderation instead of claim systems.
There is also Simple Voice Chat on the server. If you like testing ideas first there is a creative world with no plots so you can prototype builds before you do them in survival.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNoHack Anarchy Vanilla With Minimal Rules
This is a vanilla anarchy style server with minimal rules and a lot of freedom. It has been running for almost a year so it feels like a real long term world.
It supports Java from 1.13 to 1.21.x and it even recommends 1.21.11. Bedrock can join too and console players can get in through adding the listed friend.
The big rule is no hacked clients and no cheats and no xray even from resource packs. They also do not allow exploiting server vulnerabilities or trying to crash the server or lag it on purpose. Macros and automation tools are not allowed and chat spam gets you auto kicked.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrown SMP Survival With Choice PvP
Crown SMP is a new Java server for 1.21.8+ that mixes chill survival with PvP you can choose. In the survival world you can toggle PvP so you do not have to fight if you do not want to.
There is also a PvP world where combat is forced so it feels more risky. The server uses land claims so you can protect your builds and unclaimed areas are fair game.
It has a massive quest system with over 10000 quests so you can explore and grind and progress at your own pace. There are jobs to earn money from stuff like mining farming and building plus leveling and prestiges for long term goals.
The economy is meant to be balanced with player chest shops and trading plus server shops that are tuned. Extra stuff includes a mob arena custom enchants redstone powered flight that uses fuel and cosmetic focused rewards. There are custom worlds including survival and a PvP arena world.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew Semi Vanilla SMP Starting Soon
I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is being tested right now
They plan to fully start in about a week so it feels like a fresh beginning
It is meant to be simple survival with a small group vibeGG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMedieval Kingdom Wars With NPC Armies
I found a medieval themed modded server for Java 1.12.2 where the main idea is building kingdoms and fighting wars.
The big mod focus lets players make NPC soldiers and workers and you can also use siege machines like catapults to attack fortresses. Wars are long term and sometimes lead to big battles with lots of NPCs and a final fight at an enemy capitol.
There is claim protection most of the time but it gets disabled during a siege for wars. The server has some lore and rp going on with a backstory posted in their community but roleplay is not required.
It is not only war since there are building mods and lots of PvE too. You can find structures and bosses and they also plan PvE events sometimes. Notable mods mentioned include Ancient Warfare Mowzies Mobs Electroblobs Wizardry Epic Knights Quark Waystones Biomes O Plenty Rustic and Travelers Backpack.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Modded Fabric World Reset Soon
I found a small chill Minecraft Java server that runs on 1.20.1 with Fabric. It has about 8 to 10 regular players and they want a few more friendly people to join.
They use their own mod list with new monsters and weapons and armor plus furniture and RPG stuff. There are dungeons to explore and lots of new things to discover while you play.
The vibe is cooperative survival where people build cozy bases and shared towns and connect areas with paths. They also use proximity voice chat so it feels like you are just talking while building or running into someone while exploring.
The server is getting reset soon so everyone starts fresh. It is not a sweaty server and it is not focused on PvP. People just play at their own pace and try to keep good vibes.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Custom Hand Built SMP 1.21.1
custom progression systemsLong-term worldsshared base accessVanilla Plus SurvivalVisual claim borders
I found EchelonMC and it is a hand built survival server on 1.21.1 that is made to last. It has been developed for about 2 months and it is hosted in Canada. The owner Eddy builds it based on player suggestions and they say over 100 suggestions are already in.
This server is trying to feel different from recycled SMPs. There is no pay to win and there are no main world resets planned. It is not a copy paste plugin pack style either and the focus is long term building real progression and a strong community. It also is not griefing focused.
You can earn Echelites currency just by playing like mining farming fishing exploring and building. There is also advanced land claiming with visual borders plus lots of settings like TNT and creeper control fire spread protection raid prevention fluid freeze mob spawn control and more.
There are teams so you can invite friends share access and use private team chat. There is auto pathing that makes paths under you and gives speed on them and you can toggle it. There are public builds you can list so people can visit vote and climb rankings. There are timed graves so your items are protected and you can recover them in a balanced way.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore Survival Where Death Shrinks You
This server is built to be brutal and it feels like nobody is safe for long. Every time you die you permanently lose a max heart and it can drop all the way down to 4.
You cannot just eat and heal like normal because there is no health regen from full hunger. To get max hearts back you have to sleep near a campfire or use golden apples so healing is a real plan not a free thing.
Travel is scary too since there are no coordinates and no teleports. You have to use maps compasses and lodestones or you will get lost.
Getting to the End is harder because the Eye of Ender recipe needs items from four different structures. The End portal only stays open for 30 seconds and if everyone inside dies the whole End instance gets deleted forever. The dragon fight also has custom Ender Ghasts.
Beds do not set your spawn point. You rely on a Respawn Banner and if it gets destroyed you go back to spawn. Random Blood Moon events can happen too so nights can turn into chaos.
The first player to kill the dragon earns a Crown and the right to found the first nation and nobody has done it yet. It is for players who want a challenge on Java 1.21.11.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
