I found a hardcore social experiment server on Java 1.21.1 where you only get one life. If you die then you are done so everyone has to play smart.
There are two islands and they feel really different. Winter is a brutal wasteland but it has rare minerals. Summer is more fertile and easier to live in but it can get crowded fast.
The server uses one global economy so what happens on one island can affect the other. Simple Voice Chat is required so you have to talk in game and deal with people for real.
A lot of spots are already taken and players apply to join. The whole vibe is surviving with others while the islands compete and the choices actually matter.
