I found a true vanilla hardcore SMP where it stays simple with minimal plugins and no ranks or pay to win stuff
The world border is big so you can actually go explore and build far out without feeling cramped
When you join for the first time you spawn with some starter items plus invis and regen so you can sneak away from spawn and get set up
Death matters here because you get tempbanned when you die so every trip and fight feels intense
It supports crossplay so Java 1.21.11 and Bedrock 1.21.131 players can play together
GoldenSurvival Hardcore Vanilla SMP Crossplay
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStarFrost Hardcore Conflict SMP
StarFrost is a new SMP where the whole point is conflict betrayal PvP and loss. If you hate dying or losing items then this is not for you.
Everything is meant to be fair since the world is brand new and nobody is months ahead. There is no pay to win and there is no special protection to save you.
You cannot be offline griefed so if you are not online your base cannot get destroyed. But if you are online and someone raids you then it is real and it means they planned better or fought better.
The server is capped at 35 players and they want something long term. Whitelist is required and they do not want people who quit after one bad fight.
Supports 1.16 to 1.21.11 and it works for Java and Bedrock.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRemakeSMP Hardcore PvP With Tournaments
I found a new survival PvP server called RemakeSMP and it feels like one of those places where you join and instantly have to watch your back.
People run in teams and there are assassin groups too so it gets intense fast. The main vibe is fighting and trying to keep your stuff safe before someone takes it.
They also do tournaments every couple weeks and you can get really strong loot like the king's loot. There are basically no rules except you cannot cheat so it turns into full chaos but still fair.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDuck’s Anarchy 1.12 No Rules Chaos
I found Duck’s Anarchy and it is a 1.12 anarchy server with only one mode. It feels like the kind of place where you log in and anything can happen.
There are no rules and no limits. People can grief raid and fight all the time. Traps and betrayals are just normal here and big builds can get smashed whenever.
Staff do not step in during wars or fights. There are no resets so the world keeps going forward. If you keep a base alive it is because you played smart or you were ruthless.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAnarchyMC No Rules No Resets
I found AnarchyMC and it is a straight up anarchy server with no rules. There is no anti cheat so it is a rough place where anything can happen.
The map has not been reset and it is about 1.5 years old. Spawn is already pretty griefed and it has that lived in history feel.
If you want a long running world where you can do whatever you want then this server is basically that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDeadMan’s Land Classic Factions Kill Or Be Killed
DeadMan's Land is a Java server that feels like classic Factions with survival at the center of everything.
People team up and make alliances or they go solo and start trouble. You can build up your own place and try to grow into something big.
The server is all about factions fighting and raiding. PvP is meant to be balanced and there are custom events too.
The vibe is simple and brutal. It is basically kill or be killed.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCaveMC Season 2 Underground Semi-Anarchy
CaveMC Season 2 is a Minecraft server where the whole overworld is underground. There is no normal surface at all. Everything happens in caves with custom world generation made just for this server.
It plays like an enhanced vanilla survival server with semi anarchy rules. Survival feels really brutal and it rewards players who are smart and careful. You explore huge underground biomes and hunt for resources and structures while also watching out for other players.
The server also has a special Wasteland Dimension. It is a big new area with its own custom generated map. In the Wasteland you can find powerful new gear and giant mega structures that hide secrets and valuable loot. There is even a unique currency there so players can build their own economy and trade with each other.
Season 2 also adds a brand new spawn to match the Wasteland theme. From what I can see this server is all about tough survival underground dangerous exploration and fighting over rare gear in a crazy cave only world.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOldFrog Anarchy Spawn Since 2019
This is an anarchy style server that has been running since mid 2019.
There are basically no rules so the spawn is rough and dangerous. People do what they want and the world has had a long time to get messed up.
If you like chaotic worlds and seeing an old spawn that has been around for years this server is like that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDeadly Pressure Plate PvP Arena
This server is all about a deadly pressure plate pvp style.
The whole thing is built around special pressure plate mechanics.
All the mechanics are explained clearly in their discord so you can learn how everything works and get good.
There is already an active community with around 20 members so you will not be alone when you join.
It feels like a new project that really wants people to be part of something different and fun.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore SMP No Resets No P2W
This server is called Hardcore SMP and it is all about real hardcore survival multiplayer. It works for Java and Bedrock and the world does not reset so everything you build can last as long as you can stay alive.
There is a coin economy that is only run by players. There are no normal item shops from the server. You earn coins from killing mobs and looting chests and then you use a trading system and an auction house to buy and sell stuff with other players.
The land claim system is actually a big deal here. You can claim your base and farms and they are totally safe from grief while you are alive. If you log out your land is still protected. But if you die your claims get deleted and your land is open again so dying really hurts.
Teleporting is very limited on purpose. You get a one time randomtp to go far away into fresh terrain and you can invite others when you use it. After that you have home to go back to your bed and spawn to return to the main spawn area. There are no other tp commands so you still have to travel.
The server is fully non pay to win. There is only one rank called VIP and it only gives cosmetic perks so it does not give any gameplay advantage. The store also has a revive which is like starting over on a new account. It lets you play again after you die without needing to buy another Minecraft account.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
