BareBonesMP has a Hardcore Plus server where dying actually hurts you. Every death takes away one heart until you hit a minimum of 3 hearts.
To get hearts back you have to craft a Heart Crystal using an echo shard and a diamond block. It gives you one heart back and it can even push you past 10 hearts up to 20. Those extra hearts are temporary so they get eaten first when you take damage.
Gameplay stays basically vanilla with no teleport commands. Fire spread and explosions are on so the world can get messy if you are not careful. Even with that it is not an anarchy server and stealing and griefing are not allowed.
There is also a main vanilla SMP that has been around since 2019 with a classic golden days vibe and a whitelisted community that people compare to Hermitcraft. Events happen every weekend and there are mayor elections every month. The server runs 24 7 with QoL plugins like 50 percent sleep leaderboards player and mob heads and armor stand tools plus optional proximity voice and cross chat. The map was reset on Aug 10th 2025.

I found KimitCraft and it is a brand new Java SMP on the latest version. It is vanilla plus which means it stays mostly vanilla but has a few quality of life tweaks.
It is whitelisted and the goal is a small chill group with around 6 to 15 active players. The server is inspired by Hermitcraft so it is about trust and community builds and later on they want to make a shopping district.
It is meant to be long term and not one of those worlds that resets all the time. They also say no pay to win and they want respectful players who actually talk and play together.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBeeetCraft Chill Vanilla+ SMP

Right now the server is released and they are still shaping it with the players. Netherite armor is disabled and The End is also disabled for now so the world pace feels more controlled.
The community gets a real say in how stuff works like what plugins and vanilla plus features get used. Players also help decide the server style like solo bases or nations and how PvP rules should be handled later.
They also plan events to keep things active. Questing and job systems are planned too so there is more to do as the world grows.
