I found a new survival PvP server called RemakeSMP and it feels like one of those places where you join and instantly have to watch your back.
People run in teams and there are assassin groups too so it gets intense fast. The main vibe is fighting and trying to keep your stuff safe before someone takes it.
They also do tournaments every couple weeks and you can get really strong loot like the king's loot. There are basically no rules except you cannot cheat so it turns into full chaos but still fair.

The world is long term and it will not reset since it started in January 2025. It is meant for big projects and megabuilds with lots of space because there is no world border.

It has a nice spawn area plus a diamond based shopping district. Travel is faster with Nether ice boat highways and there is a Bluemap you can use to view the world. Phantoms can be toggled on or off per player.
The server runs on Fabric not Spigot or Paper so redstone and farms behave like singleplayer. The post also says it aims for great performance and low lag with strong hardware and an active playerbase during peak times.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Perch SMP No Resets Java
