I found SimpleHardcore and it is all about hardcore style survival where every choice matters. It is made for people who want a real challenge and want to see how long they can stay alive.
The gameplay is mostly vanilla and it feels clean. There are not a bunch of extras and it does not rely on overpowered plugins. It is focused on survival and long term progression.
The community is survival focused so it is a good place if you like tough Minecraft and you want pure gameplay.

It also has McMMO skills so you level up as you play and unlock abilities like you are in an MMO. There are custom items too and they even have furniture. The furniture is entity based so they plan to set a per chunk limit to help with lag.

Twigland is an SMP where you start off just trying to survive and chill with the community.
People build bases and grind for better gear but there is also this underground crop plugin that can turn normal farming into big money.
That is when the server gets spicy. Players hide farms out in the wilderness and move stuff at night. Some people even pay strong grinders for protection.
It turns into economy drama fast. Shop owners get mad. PvP towns start paying attention. Even mayors get suspicious when someone gets rich too quick.
It feels like normal survival until you realize everyone has a secret hustle.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
