This is a true hardcore vanilla SMP where it is all about surviving the real way. There are no ranks and no pay to win stuff. There are also no extra commands outside the normal vanilla ones so it feels like the game is meant to be played.
When you join you spawn with basic starter items. You also get effects so you can sneak away from spawn and not get stuck there.

Origin SMP is a survival server on 1.21 that works on Java and Bedrock. It just started a new season and it feels like a world where fights and choices actually matter.
