This is a classic non OP prison server and it feels like the old days. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you actually have to grind to get better gear. Nothing is insta sell and you have to smelt your ores and walk through pvp zones to reach the commissary.
There are normal prison ranks from A up to Parolee and Citizen. After you hit the top rank you can prestige for special rewards. If you become a Parolee you can leave the prison and build a farm to earn more money.
The guards are real players who protect new people and chase anyone with contraband. Swords and potions are illegal and if a guard sees you with them they will pvp you. You can even get sent to solitary confinement if you act up.
You can rent a prison cell or a plot to store items grow illegal custom plants and build your own shop. There are quests for extra cash or special items plus custom fishing parkour challenges and an auction house.
There is also a bounty system so if you have an enemy you can put a price on their head and check the bounty board for targets. The whole server is about grinding fighting and dealing with guards instead of being super overpowered.

Ironbark Hardcore Deathban Semi-Vanilla SMP
aussie gamerscommunity-drivencooperative playdeathban serverhardcore lifestylehardcore survivalhigh difficultylong-term worldMature Playersno paywinPlaytime ranksProgression Rankspvp tensionRisk-rewardSemi VanillaSerious Survivalstrategy basedsurvival grindersSurvival-Focusedvoice friendly
Ironbark SMP is a hardcore style survival server where every death really matters. It is semi vanilla so the game still feels like normal Minecraft but with some smart changes that make it more intense.
The main thing is the custom deathban system. When you die you get banned for 1 hour and it doubles every time you die again. There is a monthly global reset and if you manage to survive 48 hours the last increase gets cut in half. So staying alive is super important and planning ahead actually matters.
There is mcMMO and some reworks to food and survival. Mushroom stew heals 3 hearts. Cake gives extra absorption hearts for a while plus resistance and has a cooldown. Totems are disabled so you cannot just cheat death with a totem. This makes fights and exploration feel way more scary and fun.
Ranks are based only on playtime and they do not give gameplay advantages. They are just for looks and status so it stays fair. The whole idea of the server is smart survival cooperation and real risk. It is looking for more mature players who like challenge and a strong community.
Right now the server is in early access after a December 26 launch and there will be a full launch in the new year. You can join early and help shape the world before the official start.WebsiteDiscord
