EmberSteal SMP is a server that mixes ideas from Lifesteal Strength SMP and Infuse SMP into one world.
When you kill a player you either steal one of their hearts or you steal one of their effect bundles. There is also a third special mechanic that is planned so fights are not just about gear but also about what you can take.
You can craft your own effect bundles and stack them. Eating the same bundle upgrades it from level 1 to 2 and then 2 to 3. All of this runs on custom datapack effects so it feels different from normal survival.
Progression feels fast but still balanced because almost everything can be stolen and drops as embers when you die. So nobody is ever totally safe and every fight matters.
The server is planned for Java and maybe Bedrock and there is simple voice chat so people can talk while they play or raid or test stuff. The owner is looking for people who want to join and help test the mechanics before and around the launch in mid December.
