Fresh Towny Factions SMP With Custom Items
Community Hangoutfurniture buildsNew serverRealistic terrainrelaxed pvp
ArcticMC is a brand new survival server that mixes towns and faction style fights. It feels chill but you can still claim land build up your place and team up with other groups or start problems if you want.
PVP matters here and they run it with an honor system. The details are in their rules so people know what kind of fights are allowed.
It also has McMMO style skill leveling so you get stronger as you play and unlock abilities over time. There are custom items too and they even have furniture that is entity based so they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and nice valleys. The vibe is calm and friendly and more about hanging out exploring and building without total chaos.

Random Items Every 30 Seconds Chaos
chaotic survivalOpen raidingSURVIVAL PVPTime themed itemsUnpredictable combat
I found a small server called 30Timers and it feels like survival but way more chaotic. Every 30 seconds you get a random item. Sometimes it is trash and sometimes it is super rare so you never know what is coming next.
They also built custom systems around it. There is a custom mineral called Chronium with time themed powers. A full armor set can randomly dodge hits and the sword can sometimes hit twice so PvP gets really unpredictable.
There are no land claims here so bases can be raided and griefed if you do not defend them. To help with that you can buy turrets in the shop. The shop offers change every in game day.
The main world called Space uses a custom generator with floating islands. Mines also regenerate ores after they get mined out. The server is in alpha so bugs can happen and they want feedback.

Inclusive Communitylore heavy worldResearch roleplayslow progressionstaff led events
Aelythera is a Minecraft roleplay server for ages 16 and up. It is relaunching April 1st and it is aiming to be a new and upcoming place with lots of planned events and new people to meet in character.
The story starts in a normal world called Koriam with different regions and cultures plus steampunk technology. Years ago people vanished during an event called The Great Vanishing and now it is happening again. Your character is taken from Koriam and thrown into a new world full of magic and the ruins of an old civilization.
A big part of this server is discovery. You have to figure out your new powers and your new home and try to rebuild what you lost. Research matters and making inventions is meant to be hard even basic tools can be difficult.
