This is a hardcore plus survival server that feels almost like classic vanilla but with a twist. Every time you die you lose one heart and you can go all the way down to three hearts. To get your hearts back you have to craft a heart crystal using an echo shard and a diamond block. This can even push you over the normal ten hearts and up to twenty hearts but the extra hearts are temporary and get removed when you take damage.

The world has real danger because there are no teleport commands and all block damage is enabled like fire spread and creeper explosions. Stealing and griefing are not allowed though so it is not an anarchy server. You still have to respect other players builds and items.

The server started as a close knit vanilla SMP community that has been around for years and players sometimes compare it to hermitcraft. There are regular events every weekend and mayor elections every month so the world feels alive. There is also an optional cozy modded server and another hardcore server you can try if you want more.

It runs on a dedicated machine with no lag and it has vanilla gameplay with some quality of life plugins like stats leaderboards sleep tweaks heads and armor stand tools. There is an active discord and text chat connects between discord and the game. There is also optional proximity voice chat if you want to talk to people nearby in game. The map was reset on August 10th 2025 so the world is still fresh.
