This server is called CollideCraft Season 3 Time Zero and it feels like you crash into a broken Minecraft dimension. The world is unstable and space is tight and you can tell it is not a chill easy start. Resources are rare so you actually have to fight and grind to survive.
It is a semi vanilla SMP with some twists like lifesteal so every fight matters. There is one player sleep so nights do not last forever if someone is in a bed. Players can form factions and that makes alliances and rivalries a big deal.
The server has light lore so it feels like a story is going on under the surface but it does not force you to act. Survival is something you earn not something you just get for free. It looks like they are starting a new season soon and they want people to join early so they can lock in a whitelist spot.
If you like intense survival and factions and a world that feels broken and weird this server fits that vibe a lot.
