I found a Survival+ SMP that keeps the normal survival vibe but adds a lot of progression with PvP and economy. It works on Java and Bedrock so more people can join together.
Combat is a big deal here because the server uses custom enchants with rarity tiers from common to legendary. The enchants do more than just damage and can hit you with stuff like poison wither slowness weakness knockback lifesteal and even temporary enchant disabling. Gear builds matter and fights have counterplay.
There are dungeons and bosses too. You enter through portals at /dungeons then clear rooms and beat Elites for better loot and materials. Minions can drop rare loot keys and crafting materials. Boss Totems are used in the right boss rooms to spawn bosses and there are both PvE and PvP dungeons.
The economy is based on playing and selling what you get. You can level up sell multipliers by item type and trade with other players. Crops ores mob drops and spawners all matter and you can use /shop for basic materials or trade through /ah.
PvP is part of the world and teams exist. Raiding is allowed and insiding and scamming items are allowed too. Cheats and unfair advantages are blocked so fights are about skill gear and builds.
There is also a cosmetic wrap system so you can change how your weapons and armor look without changing stats. The server has RTP leaderboards and a clean custom GUI so it is easier to learn.
