Ironclad Factions is a new server that is built for players who really like high stakes raiding and PvP. It feels like the old school factions style where skill actually matters and not just who has more people.
The server is made for small teams from three to eight players so there are no giant zerg factions taking over everything. Fights feel more fair and more intense because every player matters in your squad.
Combat is focused on the classic 1.8 PvP style using ViaVersion so hits feel clean and fast. If you like strafing combos and smooth fights this server is made for that kind of gameplay.
Raiding is a big part of the server. You need to think about cannon designs strong base builds and smart tactics when you go for a siege. It is more about planning and teamwork than just spamming TNT.
There are daily KOTH events so there is always something to fight over. The map is active with constant small battles and territory control so players who like nonstop action will probably enjoy it.

backstab friendlybarter economyclassic pvpcompetitive vibesfaction warfareGriefing allowedHardcore Factionshigh riskminimal pluginsno handholdingno safe spawnobsidian bustingold school feelPlayer TradingPvP veteransraiding focusedsimple-gameplaySmall CommunityTNT Cannonswarzone spawn
This is a really old school factions server that feels like the old days. It runs on Minecraft 1.8.9 and the combat is the classic jitter click style. There are no crazy menus and no huge walls of text when you join. It is just you your faction and the map.
The main thing here is hardcore raiding. People build TNT cannons and blast through obsidian to steal loot. Spawn is a total warzone. There is no safezone at all. When you join you spawn straight into danger. You have to run fast gear up and escape before someone hunts you down.
Trading is done by players using a trade command. You can barter with others to get better gear instead of using some big shop system. The whole server feels very minimalist and simple on purpose.
The rules are also pretty simple. No hacking or cheating because there is an anticheat. No lag machines. Other than that almost everything is allowed. Raiding griefing and even backstabbing are part of the normal gameplay. If you like risky PvP and old factions style this server fits that vibe a lot.

I found this server called Team Extreme and it is all about factions and pvp and not an smp at all.
You join and pick a side and focus on fighting and building up your base. The whole thing is about progression and grinding and getting stronger so you can win more fights.
There are multiple open worlds so you can mine and explore and keep moving around. It feels different from the usual smp servers because it is made to be a clean factions server with its own ideas and not just some copy paste server.
The server is on version 1.20.1 so it uses newer stuff from the game.

This server is all about Mutually Assured Destruction. It is a factions world where nukes are real and building is never truly safe. If you make a big base someone will probably try to erase it.
The whole server is focused on tech and power. There are reactors power grids and uranium processing. Radiation and advanced machines decide who wins wars. It feels like tech matters more than just having a big group.
Factions here have real consequences. You can claim land raid bases and launch nukes. Alliances are shaky and betrayal is expected. One big detonation can totally change the map.
The server is already launched and runs lag optimized with an active community. The play style is high risk and high reward. There is no hand holding and no mercy so you have to think smart and act fast.
Overall it feels like a war server where diplomacy is temporary and fallout lasts forever. If you like dangerous faction fights and heavy tech this fits that vibe.

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.
