I found this SMP called Noheart and it is built around fighting and survival. It has the Lifesteal mod so combat actually matters and people will want to be careful.
It is not anarchy though. Griefing and stealing are not allowed so your builds and stuff are safer while you still get the combat vibe.
It is not scripted and you can make your own lore if you want. The server is modded and it includes Enchancement and Arsenal plus other mods. When this was posted there were 11 members and 20 total slots.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTRUE Hardcore Deathban SMP No Resets
Legendary Hardcore is a hardcore SMP where death means you are banned. There are no revives and the map does not reset so everything that happens stays as part of the world.
It is vanilla Minecraft with plugins that make hardcore more intense and more interesting. I saw stuff like player heads. You can also access dead players enderchests. There is Simple Voicechat and deep stat tracking too.
The server feels like it runs on real player stories. People build bases and form alliances then it all can end fast when someone dies. The drama is not scripted and players lead everything so it can turn into real conflict and betrayal.
There is a player maintained wiki that tracks the servers history and even lists every player who joined lived and died. There is also an interactive map for the spawn region that tracks changes over time.
It supports Java Edition and Bedrock Edition on version 1.21.11.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEternal SMP Semi-Vanilla PvP Lore World
Eternal SMP is a semi vanilla survival server that is all about PvP and mystery. It runs on a full Java server but it also allows Bedrock players so more people can join. The world has dropped lore and hidden structures that are not scripted. Players can explore and slowly figure out what happened and find prizes along the way.
The server uses game changing plugins. Invisible players get censored in chat when they kill so nobody knows who did it. There are Easy Gapples and a plugin to pick up villagers. There is also a special Infuse plugin that lets players brew potions with custom abilities that can give you an advantage in fights or help other people.
Eternal SMP has an economy system where the goal is to become the richest player on the server. You can flex how much you own and try to dominate the server wealth. Combat is based on netherite gear but maces tridents and elytra in combat are limited because they are very strong.
The server is always online and has daily activity. There is a pearl cooldown for more balanced fights. Voice chat is supported for players who like to talk while they play. The server version starts at 1.21.X so it uses the newer Minecraft features.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
