Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server for both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. It stays vanilla feeling and it does not do world resets. It also avoids pay to win stuff and it does not let you teleport to other players.
The economy is coin based and it is fully player driven. There are no admin shops for normal items. Coins come from fighting mobs and looting chests. Players trade with each other using a trading system and an auction house.
There is a big land claiming system so bases and farms can be protected from griefing. If you die your claims get deleted so the land becomes unprotected.
Teleporting is very limited. There is a one time use randomtp for the overworld and you can invite others. There is also home to your respawn point and spawn to get back to Spawn.
The server is non pay to win with only a VIP rank that is cosmetic. There is also a revive item that works like a full account reset so you can play again without buying a new account.
