This is a classic vanilla survival smp that is set to hard so it actually feels like a challenge. It is not packed with plugins or crazy stuff. It is just the normal game where you have to gather your tools and survive.
There are usually around ten to twenty players so it feels alive but not crowded. People are from different regions so you almost always find someone on. The players are pretty chill and like to build and explore and do random adventures together.
The world has a border of thirty thousand blocks so there is still a lot of room for big bases and small cabins. Because it is whitelisted you have to apply before you join which helps keep out trolls.
The rules are simple. Read the rules first. Be kind and respect other players. No griefing and no stealing. The server runs on version 1.21.10 so it is up to date.
If you ever need help or want to team up you can just ask in chat. People like to trade or build big projects together. It is a good place if you just want a pure vanilla survival world with an active group and a trust based vibe.
Hard Vanilla SMP With Active Players

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEden – No Resets Player Justice

Eden is a long term Minecraft world that never resets so everything people build really matters for a long time.
The admins stay out of normal gameplay so players handle conflict and cooperation on their own. If someone causes problems or starts a war it is all solved with in game mechanics and not by staff.
There is a reinforcement system so you can make blocks doors and chests super tough. Griefing can still happen but it takes a lot of effort and risk.
The server also uses snitches that log what players do in certain areas. This lets groups collect proof instead of just guessing who did something.
There are no easy claim menus. Land is protected by planning teamwork bastion blocks and smart building instead of magic protection.
Progression comes from the environment. Ores appear as you mine and they depend on biome and height. Crops grow slow and in different ways in each biome and people use them in factories to make xp.
Factories and farms can keep running even when no one is near their chunks.
The economy is fully player run with ItemExchange. There are no server shops. Players already run shops and nations are working together on a big trade hub.
The community has been playing together in different long term worlds for almost ten years and right now the new world is fresh with a solid group online at peak times.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOrigins Galore Anarchy SMP

This is an anarchy style Origins server where every player has a totally different playstyle. There are over 150 different origins to pick from. Each origin is exclusive so once someone chooses one nobody else can pick the same thing. Some people might spawn in the nether. Others might only be able to live in the ocean.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSalvaris Season 2 Story World

I found this server called the World of Salvaris and it feels like a big storybook world.
The map is split into seven different continents because of a server side mod that changes how the terrain generates. Each season everyone focuses their builds on just one continent but you can still go explore all the others if you want.
The goal of the server is to make the world feel alive. Every player can add their own stories and builds so the world slowly fills up with different ideas. It is more about world building and storytelling and less about rushing.
They just started season 2 less than two weeks ago so everything is still pretty new. Season 2 also has some extra server side mods that give better quality of life and there is a Christmas themed event starting soon.
The community is meant to be tight knit. It seems like a place where you can join the new season meet people and make friends or even rivals while you build in this big shared world.

There is also a brewery style plugin so you can just be a bartender if you want. You can create and spread your own religion and try to get other people to follow it.
The big idea is that the community writes the story. Your actions on the server get remembered and become part of the wiki so your character and your choices become part of the world forever.
Posalon is not meant to be just an average server. It is more like a huge saga that everyone builds together and every player can write their own chapter in it.

The server uses quality of life mod packs that do not change the real vanilla gameplay. So you still mine and build and explore like normal. It is meant to be long term so people can stay and build big projects over time.

The community is 18 plus only. They want players who are mature and want to make shops host events and build friendships. The goal is to have a Hermitcraft style world with a shopping district and fun events.
