I found a lifesteal style SMP that is trying really hard to not die in two weeks. It is built around PvP but it is not just farming hearts and stomping new players forever. The owner says they wrote a huge custom plugin from scratch to keep fights interesting and give people more to do.
The combat is way different from normal. It has directional knockback and momentum hits plus air juggles and ground pounds. There are 5 unlockable combat abilities called Berserker Phantom Titan Phoenix and Paladin and they change how you fight.
There are 28 custom enchantments and also 4 hidden combos that are not explained in game so you have to figure them out. The overworld has a Wilds system where it gets more dangerous the farther you go from spawn with 5 threat levels. There are custom mobs with real AI and 8 biome mini bosses plus procedural ruins outposts and strongholds with loot.
There is also a giant Colossus boss you can summon at stronghold altars. It has 8000 HP and 3 phases and it is meant for at least 3 players to get loot. The server runs on Paper 1.21 and it supports Java and Bedrock crossplay.

AIMSE SMP is a survival server that wants to feel intense and earned. The world has a big border at 12k by 12k so exploring still matters but you cannot run forever.
It has custom weapons and abilities plus secret altars and hidden recipes. Some strong items are not craftable like maces wind charges and netherite so you have to earn power through events. There are special events with rare items and there is a hidden death note that gives insane power to the first person who finds it.
PvP is meant to be fair with custom mechanics and the staff stays active to keep things balanced. KeepInventory is off so dying actually hurts and the whole vibe is skill grind and dominance with no pay to win.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Vanilla Java With Realism Systems

This is a modded Jujutsu Kaisen style RPG server that someone is building right now and it is meant to stay small with around twenty players or less.
The server is all about a random JJK RPG modpack with more than forty mods so it is pretty simple but also kind of hard and you actually have to learn how to fight properly.
The owner says they do not really know how to manage modpacks yet and they really want people to join who can test things and share ideas or help give suggestions.
The server is running on Java 1.20.1 with forge and it is hosted in Singapore in Asia so it might not run super well for some players but it is still a cool little place if you want JJK chaos with a small group.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPALTER SMP Custom Weapons Race

Everyone is trying to get special custom weapons. You can play alone or in a team. The main goal is to dominate other players and other teams and show that you are the best.
