The Garden SMP is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that leans hard into worldbuilding adventure and roleplay. It is meant to feel relaxed but still give you optional challenges if you want them.
You start with 3 lives and the only way to lose them is through PvP. If you lose all 3 you become a ghost and you are the only one who knows what is beyond the veil. Players can still bring someone back using a craftable revival book.
Some vanilla stuff is turned off to fit roleplay better like Elytra and Ender chests so people build more infrastructure and interact more. There are also lots of plugins for flavor like chest locking with trial keys plus lockpicks to break in chest shops alcohol and beer brewing and a bunch of QoL changes.
When you join you wake up on the clouds and you stick the landing then head down the Monolith to begin. You can pick a race for your character like elf halfling merfolk giant or human then wake on the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna. From there you can sail to the mainlands to claim land or live in a town with others.
It also says there is no pay to win and the staff and mods are active and attentive with a small thriving community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVanilla+ Lifesteal With Growing World Border
Bordered is a Vanilla plus survival server on 1.20.1 and it just opened this week. It feels like a normal Minecraft world but with a few big twists that make it way more intense.
The world border starts small at 500 by 500 and it grows every time a new player joins. That makes the start feel crowded and dangerous then it slowly opens up as more people show up.
It also has an origins system with lots of custom picks and the owner is still taking suggestions. The big mode is lifesteal where killing a player takes one of their hearts and gives it to you. If you die to the environment you do not lose hearts so fights matter the most.
You can play however you want like a fighter builder or redstone engineer and just try to survive and get stronger.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAvarion Story RPG SMP Needs Creators
