Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server where you really have to think before you move. It is made for both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition so more people can play together.

The world does not reset and the server is non pay to win. There are no teleport commands to other players. You only get randomtp once plus home and spawn. That is it so traveling and exploring still feel real.

The economy is all about players. Coins come from killing mobs and looting chests. There are no normal item shops owned by the server. Instead players trade with each other using a trading system and an auction house so everything feels earned.

There is a big land claiming system. You can claim land for your base and farms so other players cannot grief your stuff. You can add trusted players to your claim so they can build with you. But if you die your claims get deleted and your land is not protected anymore so every death is a huge deal.

The only rank on the store is VIP and it is cosmetic only. It does not give gameplay advantages. There is also a revive that basically respawns you at spawn in survival again just like starting over on a new account.

If you want a hardcore world with no pay to win and almost vanilla rules but still some multiplayer features this server feels like a good place to try.
