TheVille SMP is a public survival server that started as a private world with friends. It sticks to a vanilla feel but it is made to be way more hardcore and rewarding.
It is focused on PvE and also has natural PvP moments. You will run into tougher mobs and the server has elite enemies plus bosses that can really test you.
The world has custom biomes and custom structures like dungeons and hidden treasures. The cool part is the difficulty scales as you travel farther so exploring feels risky and exciting.
The community is small and friendly and staff are active and actually listen to ideas. There are no mods and no economy grind so it stays about survival.
