NormalSMP is a semi vanilla semi anarchy survival server for people who want real risk. It is about grinding and progression and also PvP raids and griefing.
There is a playtime leveling system so being active matters. You can use restock shops and it feels made for grinding. You also get /home and /tpa so moving around is easier.
Teams are a big deal here with private chat and tags. Spawn has a green zone that is safe and also a red zone for PvP. Outside spawn it is survival rules and anything can happen.
Trash talk is allowed but do not go too far. Cheating is not allowed and they say they have anti cheat and moderation. There is no whitelist so you can just join and start right away. The world border is 10000 by 10000.
