NodeSMP is a hardcore vanilla Minecraft server where you only get one life and deaths really matter. The whole point is to feel like the main character and let real stories happen with tons of players.
Text chat is disabled so people use proximity chat and signs to communicate. There is no world border and the farlands exist so exploring can go super far.
The server also has orbital strike cannons and a lot of anti cheat to help keep hackers out. Youtubers can post and the server is trying to be the kind of place where clips spread and big moments happen.
