I found a brand new SMP that has a weird twist with the world border. It starts small at 500 by 500 and it grows every time someone joins. So the map slowly opens up as more players show up.
It also uses Origins with a bunch of custom options to pick from. If you join early you can even suggest new origins.
The PvP is spicy because it has lifesteal. If you kill a player they lose a heart and you get that heart. If someone dies to the world like fall damage it does not take away hearts.
The server has not started yet so joining now can give you a head start.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPUnbound SMP Hardcore Lifesteal PvP

Unbound SMP is a hardcore Lifesteal survival server where every fight actually matters. When you kill another player you steal their hearts and when you die you lose hearts. If you fall too low you risk getting knocked out. It feels really intense because every battle can change who is strong and who is weak.
The whole server is about PvP and survival at the same time. You can team up with other players and make alliances but you never fully know who to trust. People can betray you and take your hearts so you have to think before you fight or before you choose your friends.
The world is survival so you still build and explore but there is always the danger of someone coming after you. Power is not given for free. You have to take it from other players and protect what you have.
The server runs on Minecraft Java edition and uses version 1.21.8. It is meant to be a competitive place but still feels welcoming if you like a challenge. If you want survival where death has real consequences this server fits that really well.
