I found a brand new SMP that is built for tension and player drama. It is not meant to be calm and it is not for peaceful builders who want to hide far away.
The world has a border so people end up close together. Your neighbors matter a lot and who you trust can change everything.
There is no world protection and no safe claims. If you get raided it is on you and your group to defend what you made. Everything is enforced by players so power and strategy actually matter.
There is no pay to win. The server is capped at 35 players and it is almost full so getting in early matters. Whitelist is required and it supports 1.16 to 1.21.11 with Java and Bedrock players able to join.
Fresh Border SMP With Real Consequences

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStarFrost Semi-Vanilla War SMP

StarFrost is a semi vanilla survival server that is all about drama and conflict and not about being cozy.
The world has a border so everyone is forced to live close together. Towns get built next to enemies. Alliances are made but they do not last forever. There are no land claims and no world protection so everything is enforced by players.
If you build a town and it survives it is because you fought for it. If it gets destroyed that is on you. People raid each other. They take revenge and hold grudges. Deals happen in secret and then get broken in public. Other players remember what you did.
The server is whitelist only and it has a hard cap of 35 players. When it is full that is it so every name actually matters. The server supports versions from 1.16 up to 1.21.11.
If you want to feel safe this is not the right place. If you want action and tension and a world where players control everything then StarFrost fits you.
