I found a new lifesteal server that just started with a small friend group and it feels like a fresh place to fight and survive for a long time.
It is a clean lifesteal setup and it is balanced so it does not feel broken. The server is focused on PvP and long term survival without a bunch of extra complicated stuff.
It also has Java and Bedrock crossplay so more people can join together. The world is pre generated to help with chunk lag and there are leaderboards for kills and K D. There is combat logging protection plus clean chat with minimal spam.
It runs 24 7 and it is still early so joining now means you get in before everything is established.
