This server is called CollideCraft Season 3 Time Zero and it feels really intense. You crash in a broken world and nothing is easy at all. The dimension is messed up space is tight and resources are hard to find so you actually have to fight to survive.
It is a semi vanilla SMP with lite lore so it still feels like normal Minecraft but the story and world are a little twisted. Time does not feel right and the environment is unstable so you always feel a bit on edge.
There is lifesteal so every fight actually matters. People can form alliances and factions so you never know who you can really trust. Players also get to choose some of the plugins so the community helps shape how the server plays.
They run frequent events and the owner says there is more hidden under the surface so it sounds like you discover stuff as you go. It really feels like a place where survival is earned not just given.
Season 3 Time Zero launches on December 22 and you can join early to secure a whitelist spot before it fills up.
