ShovelCraft is a semi vanilla SMP that is all about building and long stories instead of rushing to the end.
The server world is split into two main zones. In the Green Zone you cannot do pvp or steal or grief. There are no generated structures there and it is all about building towns trading and making lore together. In the Red Zone pvp is on and stealing is allowed and normal structures can generate so it feels more dangerous but you still are not supposed to just grief everything.
The End is turned off so there are no elytras or shulker farms. People travel by land or on water or through the Nether so the world feels bigger and slower. The world is meant to last a long time with no planned resets so your builds and stories can stay.
There is a diamond based economy and a team system. Teams can level up by using diamonds and that unlocks extra perks like more warps shared storage and more member slots. There are also seasonal competitions that give lore themed rewards like armor trims and shulker boxes.
The gameplay is mostly vanilla but there are some small quality of life things like home tpa duel and shops. There is no pay to win and no special donor perks. Voice chat is optional if you want to talk instead of just type.
The server runs on version 1.21.10 and supports both Java and Bedrock so more people can join together.
ShovelCraft SMP – Builders And Storytelling
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRigoloSMP – Classic Vanilla Comeback
RigoloSMP is a vanilla style SMP that has been around for about three years. It went offline for a while and now it is back with a mini season. The world border is smaller right now and is about 3072 by 3072. It grows every Friday. Next season will go back to a normal border.
The server uses a few plugins like simple voice chat custom music discs custom goat horns squaremap and co inspect. None of these change the base game so it still feels like regular Minecraft. Donator perks are also not pay to win and for this mini season they are free.
The server used to hit around 50 players and they are trying to get that active community back. The current season really needs more players. The person talking about it even started as a normal player and is now a manager so it seems like the staff come from the community.

This is a semi anarchy Minecraft server that tries to feel like normal survival but with almost no rules. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it runs all the time on a world with a border at two million blocks.
You can join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.10 and they say using 1.21.10 is best so stuff does not break. The game is focused on pure survival with almost no plugins changing how the game works.
There are no map resets and no teleport commands like tpa and there is no pay to win store. Griefing is allowed and pvp is allowed so you always have to watch your back. The only real command they added is spawn so people far away do not feel stuck forever.
They also allow using the nether roof and they removed phantoms and only need half the players to sleep to skip the night. It makes the server feel a bit smoother but still pretty close to vanilla.
The rules are mostly about not ruining the server for everyone. Stuff like exploits lag machines duping and spamming are not allowed. Also you cannot harass people with racial slurs or toxic chat. So you can fight and raid bases but you still have to be somewhat respectful in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPScarce SMP Hardcore Three Life Challenge
Scarce SMP is a really hard Minecraft world with a three life system. When you die you do not just respawn like normal. You get set back one life and if you lose all three lives you are banned from the server for good.
Resources on this server are super limited. Ores villagers and structures are not easy to find. It is not the same boring three day grind that other worlds have. You actually have to think before you mine or fight.
The whole idea is to make the game feel fresh and challenging. It breaks the usual repeat cycle and makes every player try their best. If you like pressure and risk this server will probably feel fun and scary at the same time.
They are only accepting one hundred members so it is a pretty limited community and not just a random public server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVeigars Semi Vanilla Seasonal SMP
