Konohaven SMP Season 5 Semi Vanilla
achievement progressionJava survival servernether travel hubOptional Voice Chatplayer-led projects
Konohaven is a Java SMP that just kicked off Season 5 and it is trying something new. The big idea is player autonomy so the community gets to decide how spawn looks how paths work and how the shopping district and infrastructure should run.
People can start committees or just do their own thing. If you care a lot about spawn planning paths or getting a nether hub going fast you can rally others and build it the way you want.
The server is on Hard difficulty and it is hosted in Eastern US Virginia. There is single player sleep and a live map. Simple Voice Chat is optional and you do not need mods to join.
Chunks will generate out to 1500 at the start to help early lag and there is no set world border after that. The seed will be public. World generation will be tweaked to add new features while keeping the vanilla feel.
Blaze and Caves Advancements are on with less chat spam. There is also an optional Origins datapack and the origin choices will be explained before you pick.

True Hardcore SMP No P2W Ever
cosmetic perks onlyhard mode survivalrandom wilderness warpspawn return optiontrading focused server
Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server for Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. It is meant to feel like real vanilla hardcore with other players and it does not do world resets.
It is non pay to win and there is no pay to win junk. There is only one rank called VIP and it is just cosmetic. There is also a revive you can buy and it works like a full account reset so you can play again without buying a new account.
The economy is coin based and it is fully run by players. There are no admin shops for normal items. Coins come from killing mobs and looting chests then players trade with each other using a trading system and an auction house.
There is a land claiming system that protects your base and builds from griefing. The twist is if you die your claims get deleted so the land becomes unprotected.
Teleporting is limited. There is a one time use randomtp that sends you to a random overworld spot and you can bring others if you invite them. The only other teleports are home to your respawn point and spawn to go back to Spawn.

Feather64 Semi Anarchy Raiding Survival
no land claimsPlayer Teleport RequestsPvP enabledRaid FocusedSurvival Raiding
feather64 is a raiding survival server that has been running since 2011 and it has very little moderation. you can raid and grief and nobody can claim land to protect builds so you have to be smart about where you live.
it is hard difficulty and it runs on version 1.21.10 with purpur. the world is default vanilla generation and you can play how you want like explore farm build automate enchant and fight.
lapis is used as money and there are basic teleports like sethome home warp spawn and tpa if the other player accepts. the end gets reset every month on the 1st so it is a bad place to base.
the rules are mostly about not cheating. no hacks macros or extra mods outside the permitted list and no dupes except a few allowed ones like tnt and rails. the community is mostly north america and some people are friendly but you might run into toxic players so ignore exists if you need it.

Hard Survival With Adult Community
Bedrock breaking enabledhard mode survivalsethome enabledstarter kit availablevanilla like survival
I found a survival server that started as a friend group thing during COVID and it kept growing into a welcoming community.
It is open to join with no whitelist and it runs on version 1.21.11. It is on Hard difficulty and KeepInv is off so dying actually matters.
There are no land claims so you have to play fair. The server is strict about no griefing and no hacking.
Trading is based on raw gold and players make shops. It stays pretty simple with a few quality of life things like invisible item frames and chest locking. You also get /sethome and /spawn.
It is friendly to technical players and TNT duping is allowed. Bedrock breaking is also enabled. If you want a starter kit you can ask in chat.
