SoulCrusher is a Java and Bedrock lifesteal server where fighting other players actually matters. If you kill someone you can gain hearts and you can also craft hearts too.
When you die you lose a heart and if you run out of hearts you get a temp ban until someone revives you. It is free to play and it feels like it wants more people to join so the world stays active.
The rules are pretty strict about fairness. No hacking or exploits and no doxxing and no 18 plus stuff. They also do not allow alts or combat logging and they want chat to stay under control with no spam or advertising.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStrength PvP SMP With Revives
I found a semi vanilla PvP server that is inspired by StrengthSMP. The big idea is that you get a strength boost when you kill people so fights keep getting crazier.
If you drop all the way to -10 strength you get eliminated and banned. There is also a revive beacon so other players can bring you back and unban you.
It has a custom spawn and a custom nether portal setup. The worldborder is huge at 100k by 100k. They also say they can run fun events when there are enough players and the launch is planned for 30.01 if the player count is high enough.
The server is hosted with 24GB of ram and an 8 core 16 thread CPU at 4.60 GHz.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
