Ballistic SMP is a Java only server that is all about PvP and combat. The whole thing is built around fighting other players in duels or team battles so you win by skill and timing instead of broken gear or cheap stuff.

The server has four super rare mythic weapons and one mythic armor set. Each one is linked to an elemental guardian like Air Water Fire and Death. You do not just find them lying around. You have to earn them from quests events and really good combat.

There is no griefing and no stealing allowed. That means your base and your progress are protected so people focus on actual PvP instead of ruining builds. It keeps the server competitive but still fair.

The world has deep lore about the four guardians. You can uncover the story through quests hidden relics and events that change the future of the server. A lot of events happen like air drops that cause sudden PvP fights lore events that push the story and special events for getting pieces of the mythic gear.

The map has a 3000 by 3000 world border so players run into each other a lot. There is no endless exploring so every base spot and every move you make actually matters. The server opens on December 19 so everyone can jump in when the guardians awaken and the battles start.
