This is an Origin Anarchy style SMP where everyone has to pick a different origin. No one is allowed to be the same origin so every player ends up with a unique playstyle. It is all about pvp and base building with a lot of chaos.
The server has more than 100 different origins you can choose from. Because no origin can repeat it makes fights and team ups feel really different every time. You get a new type of pvp and survival where your powers and your downsides really matter.
There are server wide events that let you buff your origin or make it easier to use. Sometimes you can reduce a bad downside. Sometimes you can get new weapons. You can even change your origin to an exclusive one during certain events.
There are custom structures around the world and the server runs 24 7 with constant updates and new content. The staff lets players help with balancing so you can suggest nerfs or buffs for certain origins.
The server is on version 1.20.1 and is based in NA West but anyone can join from anywhere. It is made for people who want new pvp experiences and crazy base building in an anarchy style world.
EmberSteal SMP is a server that mixes ideas from Lifesteal Strength SMP and Infuse SMP into one world.
When you kill a player you either steal one of their hearts or you steal one of their effect bundles. There is also a third special mechanic that is planned so fights are not just about gear but also about what you can take.
You can craft your own effect bundles and stack them. Eating the same bundle upgrades it from level 1 to 2 and then 2 to 3. All of this runs on custom datapack effects so it feels different from normal survival.
Progression feels fast but still balanced because almost everything can be stolen and drops as embers when you die. So nobody is ever totally safe and every fight matters.
The server is planned for Java and maybe Bedrock and there is simple voice chat so people can talk while they play or raid or test stuff. The owner is looking for people who want to join and help test the mechanics before and around the launch in mid December.
This is a Minecraft server that is all about no rules and chaos.
You can just join and do what you want. There are no real limits and that is kind of the whole point. It feels like an anarchy style place where you make your own fun.
It is the type of server where you go in if you like wild gameplay and you are not scared of other players messing with you.
Infinity Isles SMP is a survival world that feels really cozy and relaxed. The players are mostly adults and a lot of them are LGBTQ plus. They really care about being welcoming and making sure new people feel safe and included.
The server is mainly vanilla but with a few quality of life plugins. There is stuff like proximity chat so you can talk to people who are near you. There is GSit for sitting and some small tweaks like fast leaf decay and no mob griefing. It still plays like normal Minecraft and it is trust based so people are expected to be mature and respectful.
There is a diamond economy and a shopping district that is kind of like HermitCraft. People make shops and trade with each other instead of everything being given for free. They also have special resource worlds that reset about once a month so you can gather materials without ruining the main world.
The community runs weekly events like Survival Games Spleef Build Battles and other games. There is also a full Game District where players can build their own mini games and casinos for fun. Staff members are active and try to keep the place non toxic relaxing and safe for everyone.
The server is on Minecraft Java 1.21.8 and it is for players who are 18 plus who want a calm friendly SMP with events and a solid community.
Stormy Lagoon is a simple SMP that lets both Java and Bedrock players join together. It feels like a chill place where people just want to hang out and survive.
The server is set up so you can join from a computer or from a phone or console with Bedrock. Java players do not need to worry about ports. It is easy to connect so you can just get on and play.
There is also a Discord where the community talks and the owner hangs out. It makes the server feel more active and connected.
If you want a crossplay SMP that is calm and focused on just playing Minecraft with others Stormy Lagoon seems like a good place to try.
