Headrest SMP is a Paper server with a chill community that also likes some drama and wars. It is on 1.20.10 and it uses quality of life plugins plus world stuff like Terralith and extra structures so exploring feels more exciting.
The server is roleplay focused and players can make factions build bases and get into fights when it makes sense. PvP is more of a side thing but wars can still happen and people can make friends or betray each other.
There is a safe zone at spawn where people can build shops and hang out. They also use a simple voice chat mod so talking in game is a big part of the vibe.
Combat has rules with plugins like combat logging protection and no elytra during combat. There are extra fun plugins too like /sit. The server also runs on a dedicated machine with 20GB RAM and a 5800x3d CPU to help keep lag down.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHeadrest SMP Season 2 Lore Wars
I found Headrest SMP and it is a Paper server that is starting Season 2 today. It runs on 1.20.10 and it has a bunch of quality of life stuff like Terralith and other structure plugins.
The vibe is roleplay with lore and factions. People build together and also fight other groups when drama starts. PvP is there but it is more like a side thing and not the whole point.
There is a safe zone at spawn where players can build shops and hang out. They also use a simple voice chat mod so talking feels more real.
They have plugins for stuff like no elytra during combat and combatlog and a sit command. The server also says it has a dedicated machine with 20GB of ram and a 5800x3d CPU to help keep lag down.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Crib Lifesteal Semi-Vanilla PvP
This is a lifesteal semi vanilla server that is built around fair PvP and strict rules. You can steal hearts but there is a max of 20 and crafted hearts cannot go above 10 so fights feel way more balanced.
Combat has a bunch of limits so gear and skill actually matter. You cannot combat log and you are not allowed to kill new players at spawn or trap them there. No elytras in fights and no crystal bed or respawn anchor PvP. Only TNT minecarts are allowed and even they do less damage.
There is a long list of banned or restricted stuff. No netherite armor or tools no ender pearls no totems no punch bows and no riptide tridents. Some debuff potions are also banned like weakness poison harming and slow falling. Protection is capped at prot 3 and sharpness is capped at sharp 4 so no one can stack crazy broken gear.
The coolest part is the mace. Only one mace exists on the entire server and it cannot be put in chests or other containers so someone always has it on them. It also cannot have density or wind burst so it does not get totally busted.
Cheating is not allowed at all. No hacking no exploits no duping and no lag machines. Health indicators and Xaeros Minimap are not allowed but string duping is okay. The server has active moderation events challenges and competitions and it feels focused on a fair community where PvP is skill based and the late game stays balanced.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChillSMP Season 2 Competitive Survival
This server is called ChillSMP and it is on Season 2 right now. The world is fresh so everyone gets a new start which is super nice if you hate joining late.
The server is a survival SMP that is chill but also kind of competitive. PvP is on and fights are supposed to be fair. You can make teams with up to 5 players so you do not have to play alone.
They say it is creator friendly so it is good if you like to record or stream. There are clear rules and there are no cheats allowed. They also do not allow crystal PvP and no elytra PvP so combat is more normal and easier to understand.
The staff is active and they seem to care about keeping the server fair. If you want a calm place to play survival and still have some competition this server feels like a good option.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
