I found a vanilla survival SMP that keeps it super simple with lifesteal. If you kill someone you gain a heart and if you die you lose a heart. That is basically the whole twist.
It is not one of those servers with shops or random commands. There is no RTP and no kits so it feels like normal survival.
The server launched 2 days ago so it seems like a good time to join before the world gets fully explored. It runs on Paper 1.21.11.
