I found this Minecraft network that is pretty new and still in early launch. It is called NovaCraft Network and it focuses on fair progression and actually listening to players. It does not feel pay to win and it does not rely on weird gimmicks.
The main gamemode right now is Skyblock. It has balanced progression and a player driven economy. It seems made for both casual players who just want to chill and also for competitive players who like to grind and race ahead.
There is also BedWars with 2v2 and 4v4 maps so it is good for small groups and friends who want quick pvp games. For people who like classic Minecraft there is a Survival world on hard difficulty with normal gameplay and nothing super crazy added on top.
The owners say they focus on fair progression active development and community feedback that actually matters. They are asking for players who want to help shape the server from the ground up so it feels like they really want ideas and suggestions.
Right now the server runs on Java 1.21.x and older versions are supported too. They also say Skyblock is just the beginning and that Lifesteal and Factions are planned for the future as the network grows.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCustom Spawner Crafting Survival SMP
This server is all about custom spawner crafting in survival. Spawners are treated like the main resource here and the whole gameplay kind of revolves around them.
When you kill mobs they can drop special pearls and fragments. You can use those items to craft your own mob spawners. Right now they have creepers zombies skeletons and every passive mob up to sheep working with this system.
The server tries to keep a vanilla style feeling while still adding new items and recipes. The owners say this is just the start and they plan to add every passive hostile and boss mob plus more custom items crafting and mechanics later.
It feels like a place for people who like grinding mobs building farms and slowly getting stronger in a survival style world.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPONLYXP – Weekly Wipes Endless Grind
ONLYXP is a really hard survival server that never feels finished. The whole idea is that every player is always racing for experience before each wipe so the field stays even.
There are minimal custom coded plugins and there are no tp or spawn or sethome commands so you have to travel and survive for real. Ranks use xp so the time you spend grinding actually matters.
The world gets reset but the xp you earn does not. This makes every new week feel fresh because you log into a new world and choose new farms and new strategies to get as much xp as possible.
It feels like survival with a real goal instead of just sitting on stuff and waiting to be raided. Your builds and land reset but your grind and your xp stay.
If you want a peaceful chill server this is probably not for you. If you like the grind and like working in teams and like vanilla style pvp this server fits you really well.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRefinedVanilla True Anarchy Survival
This server is called RefinedVanilla and it is a true vanilla anarchy world. There are basically no rules except you cannot use hacked clients. You can build bases destroy stuff explore far away and try weird experiments. It tries to stay exactly how Mojang made Minecraft so it feels like singleplayer but with other people.
The owner uses Fabric so the game keeps real vanilla mechanics. Redstone works like it should. TNT chains and piston machines act like singleplayer. Tick timings stay the same so technical players can make farms and machines without everything breaking.
The performance is tuned a lot. The server changes simulation distance mobcaps and render distance while people are online. This keeps it running smooth even when more players join.
There are a few gameplay notes. The nether roof is allowed so you can travel super fast. Chunk trailing is patched. Portal chunkloaders will work but they stop when no player is close in either dimension.
If you want a server that feels like real vanilla Minecraft with almost total freedom this one is pretty close.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPure Vanilla SMP Survival 1.21.11
This is a simple vanilla SMP that runs on 1.21.11 and it is just straight survival with no extras.
There are no cheats and no mods. There are also no clans so everyone just plays normal survival like in a singleplayer world but with other people around.
The server renews every 4 hours and then it is down for about 10 minutes after that. So it keeps restarting on a schedule.
Overall it feels like a clean basic world for people who want real vanilla survival and nothing else.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSacreo SMP Semi Vanilla Friend Hangout
Sacreo SMP is a semi vanilla server where people just want to hang out and make friends. It is made for players who like simple survival and want a chill place to play.
The server supports both Java and Bedrock so you can play with more friends. It uses Geyser and Floodgate for that. There is also a simple voice chat mod for proximity chat so talking and joking around feels more natural.
To join you need to do a short interview. You can talk in voice chat or write why you should join. This keeps the community friendly and safe.
The main goals on Sacreo SMP are to make friends build cool stuff and grind through the game together. It is not about crazy plugins just normal survival with good people.
The server is planning a launch around December 26 or December 27 of 2025 and you need to get whitelisted before you can play.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore Anarchy Civilization Project
I found this hardcore server and it is totally empty right now
There are zero players on it so the idea is to be the first ones and build crazy civilizations before everyone else joins
It is hardcore so we have to be really careful and smart and we mostly need good builders and grinders who like long projects
The server has no admins and it is basically anarchy but hacks are not allowed so you still have to play legit
The plan is to make a big 100 player clan and try to shape the whole world kind of like those unstable smp style servers
There is also a special thing where pvp only turns on after at least ten thousand players have joined the server
So we are trying to create our civilization and huge builds before pvp is active so we are strong when the chaos finally starts
If you want a fresh hardcore anarchy type world with no staff and a big clan project this server feels perfect for thatGG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAlkaline Factions Beta Crossplay PvP
This server is called Alkaline Factions and it is in beta right now. It is a factions server that is built with custom code instead of a bunch of random plugins.
There is a custom faction system so your group feels different from normal servers. They made their own custom enchants too and they are still testing and balancing them.
The pvp is tuned to be faster so fights feel more intense. There are custom outposts and events that you can fight over. The economy is made to be balanced and not pay to win.
The server works on Java and Bedrock so more people can play together. The owners want real players to stress test everything and try to find bugs and weird edge cases. They say they are still refining things while it is in beta.
Most progress should carry into full release unless something is super broken and they have to reset. If you like testing new mechanics and trying to break things this server is made for that and they really want feedback.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAurora SMP Vanilla With Infuse Plugins
Aurora SMP is a vanilla style server that also uses a few cool plugins. It feels fun and chill but players still try to be competitive.
There is a special Infuse SMP plugin that adds custom potions with boosted effects. There is also a HeadDrop plugin where you can use it on a player kill them and get their head to pretend to be them. Another plugin lets you move villagers way faster by clicking them so you can carry villagers right in your inventory.
The server has proximity voice chat so players can talk when they are close in game. It runs 24 7 and there is a very complete discord server and a real community around it.
They want people to join now because the open is in a few days so everyone can start together on this new SMP.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
