This is a survival pvp server that has been running since 2011 and the map has never been reset. There is a ton of history and old builds and a lot of long time players still around.
The server is hard mode and there are no kits or vote rewards or easy commands like home. You just spawn in and try to make it with your own skill. If you fail it is on you and if you succeed it also feels more legit.
There are rules against hacking like flymod and xray and any other cheating exploits. Doxxing is not allowed either. Besides that players have a lot of freedom to play how they want.

SmartieSMP Pure Vanilla Whitelist Survival
Community EventsFair PlayPlayer Politicssemi competitivevanilla battles
This server is called SmartieSMP and it is actually real vanilla. It does not have gameplay changing plugins and there are no home commands or teleports or pay to win stuff. You just play survival how the game is meant to be played and you have to earn everything yourself.
The world is shaped only by the players. People build bases and empires and make alliances or have conflicts. Player skill matters a lot here. Stuff like farming redstone pvp and defending your base really counts. There is one small quality of life tweak which is a simple combat log system so pvp is more fair.
Season Two has been going for about a week and there is a community Ender Dragon fight planned soon. The staff is active and fair and they only enforce the important rules so the server still feels free but not chaotic.
To play you need Java Edition between version 1.21 and 1.21.9 and you have to get whitelisted first. The server is looking for active players who like the pure vanilla feeling with no shortcuts. They also want new team members who can help grow the project during Season Two.
