I found a Java only Minecraft realm that is all about factions and PvP. It is made for players who want to fight and team up with a faction.
There is voice chat if you use Discord so people can talk while playing. The realm is open right now but you have to share your Minecraft name in their Discord so you can get added.
It has a max of 10 players. When it fills up the realm starts and everyone spreads out unless you are in a faction. English only and it works best for people in the European time zone.

It already has EssentialsX and GriefPrevention set up. That means you can get some helpful commands and also protect your stuff from griefing.

Ashenreach is a survival server that is built around real danger and long term worlds. Players are not invincible here and conflict and conquest actually matter.
The server has custom relics that are powerful items hidden all over the map. You can track them with a special relic tracking system and hunt them in chests in lava pools or even on other players.
Enchantments are super rare on purpose. You cannot just stack maxed netherite and ignore everything. To live you need good prep smart positioning and real combat skill. To actually thrive you need allies numbers and solid infrastructure instead of glowing gear.
Healing is changed to feel more hardcore. There is UHC style regeneration so you do not heal from food saturation. You have to use campfires or golden apples to get your health back which makes every heart matter a lot.
The world has custom terrain with a handcrafted map structures and clear regions so exploring feels different from normal survival. There is SimpleVoiceChat so you can talk to people in game and a lands claim plugin so you can manage ranks and permissions inside your land. It does not fully protect you from theft so planning and defense are still important.
The server is meant to be long term with no resets and no ranks or shop so your progress and your story actually stay.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPParagon SMP Vanilla With Proximity Voice
Paragon SMP is a small vanilla Java server that uses simple voice chat and nothing else. It feels like classic Minecraft but you can actually talk to people nearby. The world is 20k by 20k so there is a ton of space to explore and build.
Keep inventory is off so dying really matters here. You have to be careful when you go mining or exploring. People can build secret bases with their teams and then go up against other groups. Griefing is allowed but it is supposed to be more about stealing and small damage not blowing everything to bits.
The end is not open yet. It will be opened later so everyone can do a big end fight together. The server is whitelisted and has 20 player slots so it stays pretty tight and not super crowded. Right now it has 2 members.
The server runs on version 1.21.11. The community is LGBTQ friendly so it feels safe and welcoming for different people. Spawn is kind of bad but that almost makes it funny and you just run off to make your own place anyway.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.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWaychest Journeys PvE Semi Vanilla SMP
Waychest is a PvE semi vanilla SMP where everything happens in one giant shared survival world. It is like a mix of a public server and a private realm.
When you join you start a Journey with your own spawn spot. It feels like you have your own server for you and your friends. As you explore more you slowly find out there are other players out there on their own Journeys too.
There are special chests called Waychests that connect different Journeys. They help guide you across the world to places other players discovered before you and they reward you when you find them. Later you can craft your own Waychests so the next Journey can discover your builds.
There is a flying minigame that uses elytra you craft from special ingredients. You fly through rings in the world and the path can lead you to a Waychest made by some stranger somewhere out there.
The server also uses discovery based warps so fast travel only works after you actually find the warp point first. It keeps the world feeling big and about exploring instead of just teleporting everywhere.
The focus is on exploring building and slowly crossing paths with other people in the same massive world while still keeping that cozy almost singleplayer feeling.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
