I found THE ERRATIC SMP and it is a competitive survival server built around real faction wars. It feels like the kind of place where strategy matters and fights can change everything.
It supports crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can be on together. It also has multi version support and it says 1.21.11.
The vibe is semi anarchy so pvp and raiding are allowed and griefing is allowed too. There is a protected spawn so new players can breathe first.
They say it is not pay to win and there are no free op kits. Progress is earned through combat teamwork and smart choices.
There are weekly competitive events and the owner and moderation are active to keep it fair. It also has quality of life stuff like tpa sethome and simple voice chat and it is content creator friendly.
