This server is built to be brutal and it feels like nobody is safe for long. Every time you die you permanently lose a max heart and it can drop all the way down to 4.
You cannot just eat and heal like normal because there is no health regen from full hunger. To get max hearts back you have to sleep near a campfire or use golden apples so healing is a real plan not a free thing.
Travel is scary too since there are no coordinates and no teleports. You have to use maps compasses and lodestones or you will get lost.
Getting to the End is harder because the Eye of Ender recipe needs items from four different structures. The End portal only stays open for 30 seconds and if everyone inside dies the whole End instance gets deleted forever. The dragon fight also has custom Ender Ghasts.
Beds do not set your spawn point. You rely on a Respawn Banner and if it gets destroyed you go back to spawn. Random Blood Moon events can happen too so nights can turn into chaos.
The first player to kill the dragon earns a Crown and the right to found the first nation and nobody has done it yet. It is for players who want a challenge on Java 1.21.11.
