Surax

This is a lifesteal semi vanilla server that is built around fair PvP and strict rules. You can steal hearts but there is a max of 20 and crafted hearts cannot go above 10 so fights feel way more balanced.

Combat has a bunch of limits so gear and skill actually matter. You cannot combat log and you are not allowed to kill new players at spawn or trap them there. No elytras in fights and no crystal bed or respawn anchor PvP. Only TNT minecarts are allowed and even they do less damage.

There is a long list of banned or restricted stuff. No netherite armor or tools no ender pearls no totems no punch bows and no riptide tridents. Some debuff potions are also banned like weakness poison harming and slow falling. Protection is capped at prot 3 and sharpness is capped at sharp 4 so no one can stack crazy broken gear.

The coolest part is the mace. Only one mace exists on the entire server and it cannot be put in chests or other containers so someone always has it on them. It also cannot have density or wind burst so it does not get totally busted.

Cheating is not allowed at all. No hacking no exploits no duping and no lag machines. Health indicators and Xaeros Minimap are not allowed but string duping is okay. The server has active moderation events challenges and competitions and it feels focused on a fair community where PvP is skill based and the late game stays balanced.
