Bleeding Heart SMP is a hardcore survival server where dying actually matters. You get one life and if you die you are stuck in limbo forever unless someone brings you back.

Revives are not easy at all. A player has to get your actual head and then use an expensive shrine ritual with an echo shard and a nether star. Heads cannot be griefed so there is always a chance if your friends are brave enough.

The world is made for big stories. The Farlands generate way out at 12.55 million blocks and players can really go there. There is also only one mace in the whole world at a time so whoever holds it becomes a big deal.

PvP is more grounded because crystal PvP is not allowed. The server runs Fabric 1.21.11 with a light setup to keep the vanilla feel. Redstone works like vanilla so people can build crazy machines and even orbital strike cannons.

Most addons are custom made by the server team. The community is small but active and it is the kind of place where people log in to see what wild thing happened while they were gone.
