Competitive Playerbase

I found Tubalith and it is a pvp first network for people who want real fights and competition not chill survival.

The SMP is survival with real stakes. Pvp is on and people are supposed to fight. Base raiding and looting are allowed so you have to be careful. Players make alliances then start wars and sometimes betray each other.

They also have custom legendary weapons and armor with abilities and cooldowns so fights stay skill based. There are KOTH events happening multiple times per day and new legendary drops weekly.

If you want straight up pvp there is a Duels mode with fast arena fights competitive kits and a ranked ELO system.

There is also a Battle Royale mode where you drop in loot fast and deal with constant fights until only one player or team wins. Coins are for cosmetics and visual upgrades so it is not pay to win.
