This server is called Gem Bound SMP and it is a small private survival world with seasons. Each season they change the main plugin so the gameplay feels different and the new one is based on the Bliss SMP plugin.
When you join you get a random gem that gives you special powers. Some gems let you fire daggers or cast fireballs and there are other unique abilities too. The server uses an energy and lives system so PvP feels more strategic and your fights really matter because kills give you energy you can use to progress.
The server is whitelist only so it is not full of random people. They want dedicated and friendly players who actually stick around and talk. It feels like they care a lot about having a curated community and keeping each new season fresh.
If you like survival with powers and you enjoy PvP that has risk this is the kind of SMP that will probably keep you playing for a while.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermitiaSMP S11 – Festive Vanilla Plus
HermitiaSMP is a small survival server that feels inspired by Hermitcraft and it is on a vanilla plus style. The server is all about a tight community and doing cool events together both in Minecraft and outside of the game.
There are weekly events that keep things from getting boring. Some are in game and some are real life stuff and even art competitions. There are also special Christmas events so it feels super festive during the holidays.
Players can use optional proximity voice chat so you can talk in game if you want or stay quiet if you do not. There are event houses and community builds so you can join a house and try to earn points for it and build together.
The server uses a custom HermitiaSMP datapack and some quality of life mods that add unique features. There are anti grief plugins like CoreProtect so your builds stay safe and you can relax more.
There is also a server news service and something called server royalty so it feels like a little world with its own stuff going on. Server lore is coming soon so it seems like they plan to grow the story over time.
To join you are supposed to get into the community first and then you can start playing and make your mark on HermitiaSMP.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
