I found a hardcore SMP that is trying to feel like those Minecraft civilization videos but it runs all the time and it is not just a one time event.
It is invite only and the only way new people get in is if someone already inside invites them. This is meant to keep the community active and help avoid trolls.
The server has secret tweaks and mechanics and they do not give you guides. You are supposed to figure things out yourself which makes paying attention really matter.
There is also a built in clan and family system so you do not just show up alone in a hardcore world. You join as part of a group and you end up being part of an ongoing story.
Hardcore Civilization SMP With Bloodlines
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore Civilization SMP Bloodlines
This is a brand new hardcore SMP that is built around civilization style group play. It is invite only so you cannot just join randomly. Players who are already in can invite new people and that helps the community stay active and avoid trolls.
The server has secret tweaks and mechanics that you are supposed to figure out yourself. There are no guides so you have to pay attention and learn by playing.
There is also a clan and family system so you do not just spawn alone in a hardcore world. You get pulled into a group and it feels like you are part of a story that keeps going even after you die. If you want in you have to talk to current members and try to get an invitation code because a lot of clans are recruiting.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
