Stone Box Semi Anarchy Stone World
build contest nightsCommunity Factionshardcore buildingseason based worldveteran community
Stone Box is a semi anarchy survival server that has been running for about 5 years and it is in season 3 since Jan 2026.
The whole world is basically stone so getting resources is a real challenge. There are gens made with command blocks and that is how players can get stuff that you normally could not get in a stone only place. It pushes you to get creative and figure things out.
A lot of players build close to spawn and near the gens so the server feels busy and tense. There are many teams and some have been around for years. Each team has its own style and its own story and you can join an established team if you want a faster start.
This server is big on ruins and lore with history in game and out of game. They also run weekly events like build competitions with guest judges minigame crucibles capture the flag player trials and more.

100 Players One Life Island War
Limited livesone life runresource controlsocial experimentVersion 1.21
This is a hardcore Java server on 1.21.1 that is set up like a social experiment. There are 100 players and you only get 1 life so every fight and every mistake matters.
Players split into two factions on two different islands. Winter is a harsh place with rare minerals so it is risky but powerful. Summer is easier to live on and good for growing stuff but it can get crowded fast.
Simple Voice Chat is mandatory so people actually have to talk and make plans. There is also a global economy to control so trading and power moves are a big part of it. Applications are open right now.
