This server is called uSurvive and it feels like a version of Minecraft that went in a different direction but still feels like normal Minecraft. It is survival but the whole thing is built around playing with other people and having fun together.
There is a custom claiming system so you can protect your builds in the overworld and not worry about griefing. It is not the usual golden shovel stuff. You can just focus on building and making cool bases.
There is also a custom dimension called the Abyss. It is like a toxic fungi wasteland with special mobs and outposts. You can fight dangerous enemies there and go for strong loot if you want more challenge and combat.
The server has quests plus custom items and custom mobs so normal survival feels bigger. There are backpacks so you can carry more and there are auctions and quick shops so players can trade and build their own little economy.
Everything is done with plugins and a resource pack so you do not need any mods. The server tries to update to the newest Minecraft version as fast as possible so it stays fresh.
It looks like a place for people who like building and exploring and also want some real fights and adventure while still staying close to vanilla Minecraft.

Dont Die SMP Hardcore PvE Only
careful explorationcautious gameplayDangerous worldhardcore survivalhigh stakesjava editionLatest Versionno easy trackingNo modsNo pvpplayer mistakes matterPlayer Versus EnvironmentPVE Focusedsemi realistic nightsSerious Survivalspectator on deathsurvival tensionTeam Survivaltrap friendlyvanilla hardcore
This server is a hardcore SMP called Dont Die SMP. It is all about staying alive while the world tries to kill you. You do not have to worry about other players attacking you because PvP is turned off.
If you die you go into spectator mode. Death is meant to feel final and serious. There is a large respawn radius so you cannot just pop back into the same spot and keep going like nothing happened.
The world itself is the real enemy. Mobs traps bad jumps and bad planning will get you. Traps are allowed as long as they use normal vanilla Minecraft stuff. You just cannot directly kill other players.
The server is vanilla and does not use mods that change how the game works. It runs on Java 1.21.11. There is no locator bar or easy compass tracking so you actually have to explore and pay attention.
Sleeping needs most people in the server so nights are still scary and important. The whole idea is that this is hardcore and tense but not a grief PvP mess. If you are tired of getting randomly killed by players and want the world itself to be the challenge then this server fits that style.

The rules are semi anarchy. Anarchy and chaos are allowed but if someone does pointless griefing with no story or reason the staff can roll it back. This keeps the long term SMP stories safe while still letting players cause trouble.
