This server is a hardcore SMP called Dont Die SMP. It is all about staying alive while the world tries to kill you. You do not have to worry about other players attacking you because PvP is turned off.
If you die you go into spectator mode. Death is meant to feel final and serious. There is a large respawn radius so you cannot just pop back into the same spot and keep going like nothing happened.
The world itself is the real enemy. Mobs traps bad jumps and bad planning will get you. Traps are allowed as long as they use normal vanilla Minecraft stuff. You just cannot directly kill other players.
The server is vanilla and does not use mods that change how the game works. It runs on Java 1.21.11. There is no locator bar or easy compass tracking so you actually have to explore and pay attention.
Sleeping needs most people in the server so nights are still scary and important. The whole idea is that this is hardcore and tense but not a grief PvP mess. If you are tired of getting randomly killed by players and want the world itself to be the challenge then this server fits that style.
