This server is a Hardcore Plus survival world that stays really close to vanilla. There are no teleport commands and block damage is fully on so fire spreads and creepers can wreck stuff. Stealing and griefing are still not allowed so it is not anarchy.
The big twist is the health system. Every time you die you lose one heart until you hit a minimum of 3 hearts. You can craft a Heart Crystal using an echo shard and a diamond block to get one heart back. You can even go past 10 hearts up to 20 hearts with temporary hearts that get eaten first when you take damage.
It has quality of life plugins like 50 percent sleep player and mob heads armor stand tools and stat leaderboards. There is optional proximity voice chat and cross chat between in game and Discord.
BareBonesMP has been around since 2019 and it is aiming for that classic server feel with a close community. Events happen every weekend and there are mayor elections every month. The map was reset on Aug 10th 2025 and they also have a main vanilla SMP plus an optional cozy modded and unwhitelisted hardcore server.

The community is spread across Australia Europe the Americas and Asia and there are usually between 10 and 30 players online. People already make books art myths and little superstitions in game and it all comes out of how the world and plugins push players to create their own tales.
