I found a server that is trying to be true vanilla survival. It keeps the gameplay simple with no plugins that change how Minecraft works. There are no land claims and nobody is going to hold your hand.
The world is run by the players. You can build whatever you want and make alliances or start wars. You can also just explore and live out in the wild if that is your thing.
There is basically one big rule which is no hacking.

I found a Java survival server called JSMC that started because the owner got tired of the same friend group worlds dying after two weeks.

People focus on builds that are meant to last and a lot of the map is set up in themed areas so it feels connected over time. Not everyone stays forever but the players who do stick around tend to stay for months.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPONE LIFE Hardcore Vanilla NO ALTS
