This server is all about a cool tower defense game inside Minecraft. It is not only tower defense but that is the main thing and it feels super thought out and really hard if you want a challenge.
You play on 3D maps where monsters walk along a path and you place towers to stop them from getting to the exit. There are 25 preset waves so it is the same pattern every time. That means you can learn the rounds and not get ruined by random luck.
There are 15 different towers and they all do different stuff like splash damage fire slowing freezing confusion poison farming and more. The towers have a grid style upgrade system. You only get 9 upgrades to spend but towers have way more choices so you need to plan which path you want to use. You also get different targeting options so you can control how they shoot.
Each map has 5 difficulty modes from super easy beginner to expert. Expert is so hard that even the owner has not beaten most maps on it yet so it is really for people who want a serious challenge. After you win you can turn on freeplay mode and keep going with ramping waves if you want to push your limits.
The whole setup feels like Bloons TD or Plants Vs Zombies but made for Minecraft. If you like strategy and trying new tower builds and beating hard waves this server is actually really fun.
Rave SMP is a new survival server that feels like a mix of anarchy and chill play. It is not fully vanilla because it uses some fun plugins but you only find out about them once you join the community. The world has a 15k by 15k overworld border and everyone is starting fresh together so no one is super far ahead.
The server is hosted in Singapore and is up 24 7 so players can join pretty much any time of day. It is made for a Filipino community and they say 18 plus but they also mention all ages so the vibe is more about how you act than your age. People who like building exploring and wars are all welcome. You can be peaceful or you can lean into the anarchy side and fight other players.
Simple Voice Chat is recommended because the server uses proximity voice chat. That makes talking and teaming way easier and it makes events more fun. They plan at least one or two events every month and both admins and players can host them so the community has a lot of input.
To join you make a ticket and write a short intro with your in game name and any questions. Then they will whitelist you. They want active players who care about the community and want to help shape a brand new SMP from the start.
This is a brand new prison server that is still being worked on and tested. I joined and it feels like the owners really want players to help shape how the server will be.
Right now they are trying to figure out important stuff like if they should do resets or not. They actually want feedback from players instead of just deciding everything alone.
If you like prison and want to help a new server grow this is a good place to try. You can play give your thoughts and help them decide what the future of the server will be.
Infinity Cube SMP is a vanilla style survival server that has been running since 2020 so it feels like a real long term world instead of a quick throwaway map.
The server is whitelisted and focused on survival building and progression. People here like to make quality bases and cool redstone stuff and just slowly improve their world over time.
The world is updated for version 1.21.10 and sometimes they reset only some chunks when big updates drop. That way you get new terrain and new structures but old builds and player progress are still safe.
There are a few server side features like teleporting to spawn home and back plus fast leaf decay a live map and custom nether portals. Most other things are left to client side so the gameplay keeps a real vanilla feeling.
The community seems relaxed and collaborative with experienced builders redstoners and survival players who like long term play and a stable world. The basic idea is play how you enjoy build what inspires you and help grow a world that sticks around.
This is a hard survival server that feels like classic Minecraft with almost no extra stuff. It was started in 2020 and it is still going because a small core community stuck around.
The server tries to keep things simple. There are no claims so people just play and build and explore together. There is an item based economy where raw gold is used for trading and for a player run shopping district. There are a few quality of life commands like spawn sethome and skipping the night but not a lot more.
The players are usually more mature and the staff is pretty hands off. They only step in when there is cheating or griefing. People like to talk about real life and joke around so chat feels active and friendly.
The rules are simple but they are enforced. No hacking or x ray. Only client side mods that do not change packets or make the game unfair. Do not break or change other players builds or entities and ask before you build too close. Dupes that only work for one item like rails or string are allowed but big universal dupes are not. No hate speech is allowed either.
The server runs Minecraft version 1.21.10 on hard difficulty and it has good hardware. Mob rates are vanilla and there are no weird build limits. Bedrock players can also join using the given port so both Java and Bedrock friends can play together.
