This server is called Overtake Network and it is made for people who miss the old factions style from around 2014 to 2016. It is not about crazy modern stuff or pay to win menus. It is about raiding other bases doing real PvP and grinding your gear the normal way.
The combat is set up like native 1.8 so there are no hit cooldowns. You can spam click and block hit and use rods just like old school PvP. They really care about hit registration so fights feel smooth. You can join with newer versions like 1.12 but the combat still behaves like 1.8.
The main game mode is classic factions where you claim land build cannons and raid enemies. There is McMMO so you can level skills and get small advantages by grinding. The economy is balanced and built around farms mob grinders and a player auction house so players trade with each other.
There are vote rewards that actually give useful keys and items so voting feels worth it. They also say they have a strict anti cheat and they actively ban cheaters so fights are more fair.
The community is international with strong roots in EU and Bulgaria but the server uses English first and welcomes everyone. The map is brand new right now so you can start early and try to become one of the top factions before really huge groups join.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Pen Classic Prison PvP Quests
This server is called The Pen and it is a classic style prison server that feels like old Minecraft. It does not have crazy overpowered enchants or instant sell stuff. You start with basic tools and you have to grind your way up.
You rank up through the prison from A all the way to Parolee and then Citizen. After you reach the top you can prestige for extra rewards. There are different ways to make money like mining and smelting ores, fishing with custom progression, growing illegal plants in your cell, and using player shops.
There are guards that protect new players and also enforce the prison rules. They watch for illegal things like pvp, swords, potions, bows, and illegal crops. If you break the rules in front of them they will go after you. There are multiple guard ranks like Guard, Senior Guard, Warden, and Senior Warden so it feels like real prison roleplay.
The prison has cells and plots you can rent for storage, farming, shops, or hiding contraband. There is an auction house for trading, bounties you can place on enemies, and parkour challenges around the prison. The economy is grindy and you have to travel through pvp zones to sell at the Commissary so it is risky and exciting.
