Origin SMP is a survival multiplayer server with a new season started and it runs on 1.21 for Java and Bedrock.
It is story driven and it feels more serious than pure anarchy. The big thing is the tier system with PvP progression. You can gain tiers by killing players and you lose tiers when you die so fights actually matter.
It also has proximity voice chat so you can talk to people right in game. There are no land claims so the world is shaped by trust and politics.
The map is finite at 2500 by 2500 blocks so you run into people a lot. It is semi anarchy so anarchy is allowed but random griefing with no story or purpose can get rolled back to protect long term SMP stuff. The community is friendly and active daily.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore SMP With True Perma Death
Legendary Hardcore is a hardcore SMP where death means you are out for good. There are no map resets and there are no revives so every risk feels serious. A lot of players have joined over its first year and tons have died trying to survive.
It stays completely vanilla but uses plugins to make hardcore more interesting. You can get player heads and you can access dead players ender chests. It also has Simple Voicechat and advanced player statistic tracking plus more.
The world feels like a real story because everything is player led and not scripted. People make bases and alliances then it all can fall apart when someone dies. There is even a player maintained wiki that tracks the history and a page for every player who joined lived and died.
They also have an interactive map of the spawn region that shows changes over time. It supports 1.21.11 on Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
