I found this SMP that is built for PvP and raiding but it still keeps that vanilla vibe. There are no land claims so you can build anywhere and you can also get raided anywhere so it stays intense.
It lets Bedrock and Java players play together. There are player shops plus an auction house and duels if you want fast money.
The server has custom enchants that are meant to stay balanced like 3×3 drills and lifesteal. The terrain is custom but it still looks normal and not weird.
It runs well even on low end PCs. PvE gets harder the farther out you go and there are random world events every 30 minutes that can help you or hurt you or just be strange.
The owner is still working on it and wants feedback and people to help out. You can use the in game command to join the community.
