Reign SMP is a semi vanilla lifesteal server that feels really intense. It is all about PvP and survival and every fight actually matters because hearts are on the line.
You gain hearts when you win fights and lose hearts when you mess up so you have to think before you swing. There is a 20 heart cap so things stay balanced and it feels fair.
The server cares a lot about fair rules and has active moderation so people cannot just abuse stuff. It rewards smart plays and good strategy instead of cheap exploits.
Alliances are a big deal here. You can team up with others or turn on them later because actions actually have consequences. Elytras are allowed so you can fly around and plan attacks.
Both Java and Bedrock players can join so more friends can play together. There is no pay to win stuff so it is about skill and decisions instead of money.
If you like high stakes survival and player driven conflict this server feels like a good place to try.

Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy Minecraft server that tries to stay super close to normal vanilla survival. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it is always online.
The rules are really light. Griefing is allowed and PvP is allowed. There is no pay to win and there are no map resets. There is also no teleporting like /home or random teleports. The only thing you can do that is not vanilla is use spawn so people who go really far out are not stuck alone forever.
The world border is set to two million blocks so there is a ton of space to explore and hide in. The server also lets you use the nether roof. Phantoms are removed which is nice and only about half the people on the server have to sleep to skip the night.
You can join on pretty much any Java version from 1.7.2 to 1.21.11. They say it is best to use version 1.21.10 so you do not have problems.
Even though it is semi anarchy there are still a few rules. You cannot use exploits or make lag machines or dupes. You also cannot spam chat or use harassment or racial slurs. So the server is still wild but not totally toxic.

TheBifrost is a new Bedrock survival SMP that feels really chill. The world is still pretty fresh so you are not super far behind yet.
The server is all about building and community and just having fun. You can start your own town or join someone else and help it grow. If you want to go bigger you can work on kingdoms and make long term projects with other players.
It is basically vanilla Minecraft and the player group is small and friendly so people actually know each other. If you want a relaxed SMP where you can take your time build cool stuff and hang out with the same faces this server fits that vibe.

Relics SMP is a Minecraft survival server that is all about custom weapons and armor sets. The items are not just retextures. They have special abilities that make combat feel different and more exciting.
One of the main examples is the wind scythe. It lets you dash around and do strong attacks. So fights look really fast and movement based instead of just normal sword spam.
The server runs events almost every day so there is usually something going on. You do not need to fill out any application to join. The community is described as active and friendly so it feels pretty welcoming for new players.
Relics SMP also has a unique twist with textured items that stand out a lot in game. If you like custom gear and fun battles and a chill group of players this server is made for that kind of vibe.

CryoMC is a chill survival server that runs an economy style SMP. It is made for people who want a relaxed place to play and still keep the normal Minecraft feeling.
The server is focused on community. It is no grief so you can build and not worry about random people destroying your stuff. There are plugins like keep inventory so you do not lose your items when you die and there is grief prevention so your base stays safe.
You can set player warps and use chest shops so players can make their own places to visit and trade. It keeps the game simple but still gives reasons to explore and play with others.
The server allows Java and Bedrock players and it says all versions are welcome. That makes it easier to join with friends no matter what they use.
If you want a comfy SMP where you can help shape the world from the start and just hang out with chill people this server feels like that kind of place.
