SummitSurvival is a hard mode vanilla plus server that feels like a real survival world with friends. It is free to play and the few extras are just there to make life easier not to make it pay to win.
The server runs on 1.21.x and sticks close to normal Minecraft. You get simple commands like spawn and sethome and faster nights but not a bunch of crazy plugins. Mob rates are vanilla and there are no weird limits on what you can build so it feels like a normal world just with more people.
There are no land claim plugins so everyone is expected to respect each other. The rules say you cannot hack or use x ray and you cannot mess with other player builds or their mobs. You should ask before you build too close to someone. Dupes that give tons of different items are not allowed but small ones like rail or string dupes are ok.
The economy is item based and uses raw gold for trading and for the player run shopping district. There is also a donor rank but it only gives some extra bonuses that are mostly cosmetic so regular players can still keep up fine.
The staff team is small and they stay out of the way unless someone is cheating or griefing. The community talks a lot and people like to hang out and chat while they play so it feels pretty active.
SummitSurvival Hard Vanilla Plus SMP
Heart Steal SMP Egg Hunt Chaos
I found this Heart Steal SMP where the whole point is to steal and keep the Dragon Egg. If you hold the egg you get special buffs but you are not safe because people can track you.
It works on Bedrock and Java and it stays updated to the latest version. It has custom armor sets plus shields and weapons and it also has useful commands like /tpa /rtp and /bal.
There is no pay to win at all. The community is active with streamers and it is also non toxic so fights stay fun but still competitive.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEarth Towny Empires and Geopolitics 1.21.5
United Lands is a Towny based Earth SMP on 1.21.5 and it is all about making nations and fighting over land. It uses a 1:500 scale Earth map so groups can claim huge areas without crazy upkeep and try to shape borders however they want. Big groups can also get discounts.
The gameplay goes deep with towns all over the world plus roleplay and PvP when things get heated. There are custom items and gear and even weird foods like avocados and mac and cheese.
Progress feels like you get choices since there are 7 jobs and each one has its own skill tree. You can work toward Masterwork Armor and upgrades like extra sethomes and even flying in your town.
The economy is player driven with no admin shops. Players set up warps for shops so you have to hunt for good deals or try to become the best seller.
The server says it is fair play with no pay to win since store items are cosmetic only and sponsorships do not give gameplay advantages.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTwo-Team Regions War SMP
Adjacent claim raidsCommunity Driven UpdatesCompetitive survival pvpMonthly war seasonProtected region borders
RegionsSMP is a seasonal SMP where everyone picks one of two teams and then the whole month turns into a big fight for the map.
The main idea is regions. Your team can claim regions and try to take control over time. A claimed region is protected from the other team unless they own a region right next to it. That makes the border areas feel like an active warzone with lots of pushing and taking land back.
The server is run like a passion project and it changes as new seasons happen. The owner wants to learn each season and upgrade the next one with adjustments and new things.
Even though it is war and PvP focused there is still room for other play styles. Some custom builds can be brought into new wars as protected builds so builders can still show off and keep important stuff safe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJOIN THIS BEDROCK REALM NOW
I found a Bedrock realm that is inviting people to join.
There is a Discord if you want more info but the main thing is it is a realm for Bedrock players.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVanilla Touch SMP 1.21.11 Reborn
Vanilla Touch is an SMP that is trying to feel like real Minecraft again. It is made for players who want that nostalgic vanilla style and do not want a bunch of extra stuff.
This server started over 7 years ago and it got recreated with the same goal. It runs 24 7 and the main idea is to keep things stable while also protecting the builds and items that players make and earn.
If you want a true vanilla place to play and stick around for the long run this one looks like it is going for that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
