This is a survival SMP that feels really old school and honestly kind of scary but in a fun way. It is all about melee based PvP so people fight with swords and not with crystals or anchors. The server is made for players who like real risk and who are fine with raiding and griefing.
The world has a big overworld plus nether and end so you can run far away and build or stay near spawn and get into fights. The map never resets so bases and ruins stay forever which makes everything feel more serious.
There are rules to keep things fair but the play style is still very harsh. You are allowed to raid grief team up or betray people. There is a combat tag system so you cannot just run away with elytra and there is a cooldown on totems to make sword fights more balanced.
The server is mostly vanilla but there are a few small commands like teleport ignore and sethome to make life easier without changing the survival feeling. There are no money plugins so the economy is just trading with other players.
TNT duping with pistons and slime is turned on so people can build farms or crazy destruction machines. The server is for Java players and also bedrock players using geyser so more people can join the same world.

OVERSTRESSED SMP IS LIVE NOW

I found a server called Overstressed SMP and it is launching on February 22nd at 3PM GMT. It feels like a fresh start server where everyone can jump in at the same time.
There is a custom questline with over 250 quests so you always have stuff to do. The server also has a player run economy with shops and a currency system.
The spawn is huge and built by the staff team and they want you to explore it. You can pick your way out of spawn too since you can take a bridge to town or go down into the forest. There is also a road network called the Romana road network that connects the world. You get starter spurs and you can grab a horse and start your journey.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSurvival Dungeons And Boss Totems PvP

This server is a custom survival SMP that is focused on progression PvP and economy while still feeling like real survival. It is compatible with Java and Bedrock and it just started so everything feels fresh.
The big thing here is the custom enchant system with rarity tiers from common to legendary. The enchants do more than damage and can add effects like slowness poison weakness wither knockback lifesteal and even temporary enchant disabling. Gear builds matter and fights have more counterplay.
There are dungeons and bosses too. You enter through portals at /dungeons then clear rooms and fight Elites for strong loot and materials. Minions can drop rare loot keys and crafting materials and you use Boss Totems in the correct rooms to spawn the bosses. There are both PvE and PvP dungeons.
The economy rewards playing. You can sell items and level up sell multipliers by type and trade with other players. Crops ores mob drops and spawners all give different ways to make money and you can use a shop for basic materials or trade through an auction house.
PvP is part of the world and teams exist. Raiding is allowed and even insiding and scamming items are allowed but cheats and unfair advantages are blocked. There is also a cosmetic wrap system so you can change how your gear looks without changing stats plus RTP leaderboards and a clean custom GUI to help you learn fast.
