Soulcraft: Vanilla, No White Lies, Just Hermitcraft Vibes, Rewards Await, Stay Active!

Blothera is a hardcore civilization survival server with roleplay vibes and a big survival rebalance. It runs on lots of custom plugins but you join with a vanilla client and no mods.

It is no pay to win and there are no kits. There is also no teleport spam and coordinates are off so you actually have to explore with maps and compasses. Banners act as spawn points instead of beds so travel feels risky.

Death has consequences here because every death makes you lose a max heart forever. You can earn hearts back but only by using golden apples or by sleeping near a campfire.

Every few weeks there is a Bloodmoon night where the sky turns red and stronger mobs show up even in lit places. They can hear you so people end up planning and teaming up for it.

Nations are a big deal because you need to kill the Ender Dragon before you can form one. Nations are run with books and lecterns and actions get written into a historical book. Players build towns make alliances or go to war and sieges can involve cannons and bombing airships.

Trains are also a thing because minecarts can link into physics based trains that move people and cargo and keep chunks loaded while active. The survival world is harder too like crops needing sunlight and animals needing open sky to breed and overcrowded livestock getting sick. You start near a ruined settlement and the rest is up to the players.
