Toejutsu is a vanilla SMP that feels more about the people than flashy stuff. The community is small but pretty active and it has weekly events so there is usually something going on.
It stays mostly vanilla but it has a few twists to make survival feel harder and more interesting. Some players can get curses placed on them. Villagers are disabled so you cannot lean on trading. Diamonds are way more scarce so getting geared up takes longer.
The world border is set to 10k so the map feels tighter. There is also no TPA right now so you have to travel the old school way.

It is modded and it is starting on Friday so everyone can jump in around the same time.

This server is ultra hardcore style so you do not heal naturally and if you die you are out. It has been running this way since Aug 09 2019 and the whole point is staying alive as long as you can.
There is a score system that keeps things competitive. You get 1 point per minute alive and 1 point per experience point you earn. Stuff like killing a skeleton gives points and big wins like killing the dragon give a massive score.
When you join you start in the Spawn Ship until you are ready to enter the world. You can hold a bone block to see the current top scoring players.
If you die you can try to earn a revive back to the Overworld by winning the weekly Sunday competition. Sundays at 11CT there is also a special team competition. Prizes can include a revive on the persistent ultra hardcore world or an in game advancement shout out.
