NormalSMP is a semi vanilla semi anarchy survival server for people who want real risk. It is about grinding and progression and also PvP raids and griefing.
There is a playtime leveling system so being active matters. You can use restock shops and it feels made for grinding. You also get /home and /tpa so moving around is easier.
Teams are a big deal here with private chat and tags. Spawn has a green zone that is safe and also a red zone for PvP. Outside spawn it is survival rules and anything can happen.
Trash talk is allowed but do not go too far. Cheating is not allowed and they say they have anti cheat and moderation. There is no whitelist so you can just join and start right away. The world border is 10000 by 10000.

I found Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
The server stays online all the time and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They recommend 1.21.10 so stuff works smoother.

They still block exploits and duping and lag machines. Spam is not allowed and harassment or racial slurs in chat are not allowed either.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStrength SMP PvP With Revives
I found a semi vanilla PvP server that is inspired by StrengthSMP. The main idea is you get stronger when you kill players so fights keep getting more intense.
If you drop all the way to minus 10 strength you get eliminated and banned. There is also a revive beacon so other players can bring you back and unban you.
It has a custom spawn and a custom nether portal area. The worldborder is huge at 100k by 100k so there is lots of room to play.
The server is planned to launch on 30.01 if enough players join. The host setup says 24GB RAM and an 8 core 16 thread CPU at 4.60 GHz. They also want to run fun events once the server has enough people.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAnarchy Network Semi-Vanilla Chaos
Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy server that tries to stay close to vanilla Minecraft. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it runs all the time on a machine in New York City.
You can join with pretty much any Java version from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. The owner suggests using 1.21.10 so things work better. The world border is set at 2 million blocks so there is a lot of space to travel and hide.
The server allows griefing and pvp and there are no map resets. There is no pay to win at all and there is no teleporting except for the simple spawn command. This means you actually have to travel but you can still get back to spawn if you went way too far. Nether roof travel is allowed. Phantoms are disabled and only half the players online are needed to skip the night.
The rules are very light but they still exist. Exploits are not allowed and you cannot build lag machines or use duping. Spamming in chat is not allowed and you also cannot use harassment or racial slurs. So you get a rough survival world but without totally toxic chat or game breaking bugs.

The idea is simple. There are almost no rules and almost no extra commands. You can fight other players and grief bases. There is no pay to win stuff and there are no map resets so the world actually matters and keeps its history.

The only main command you get is spawn so players far away can still come back to see other people. Nether roof travel is allowed and phantoms are turned off. Only about half the players in a world have to sleep to skip the night.
There are a few rules to keep the server playable. You cannot use exploits or dupes. You cannot build lag machines or spam chat. You also cannot harass people or use racial slurs.

This server is a hardcore SMP with permanent deathban. When you die you are done and there are no revives. The world never resets so everything that happens stays in the history of the server.
PvP raiding and griefing are all allowed across a massive world. The map is 1 million by 1 million blocks so you can try to hide but you are never completely safe. Every step you take could be your last one.

Over ten months more than fifteen thousand players have joined and around eight thousand have already died. People make bases and alliances and become legends but every legend can fall.
