Ironbark SMP is a semi vanilla survival server based in OCE and it is in early access right now. The server wants to feel like a modern survival world with high tension and real progression and no pay to win stuff at all.
It uses mcMMO and custom deathbans so every death matters a lot. Your first deathban starts at one hour and it doubles every time you die and there is a monthly global reset. If you manage to survive long enough the next increase can get cut in half so staying alive is actually a big deal.
There is a food and survival rework too. Mushroom stew heals more hearts and cake gives absorption hearts for a while plus resistance and then it has a cooldown. Totems are disabled so you cannot just spam totems to stay alive.
Ranks are based only on playtime and they are purely cosmetic. There are no gameplay advantages from ranks so everyone has the same chance to survive. The server is looking for more mature players who like a challenge and who enjoy working together and playing smart instead of just rushing everything.
Ironbark SMP feels like a world where every choice matters and long term survival actually means something again.
