This is a small semi vanilla SMP called The Lab and it just started a fresh season. The players feel like a tight group and new people are invited to join and become part of the community.
Everyone begins inside a smaller world border that is 2k by 2k. This keeps people close to each other at the start so the world does not feel empty. The border is planned to expand after about a week.
The server uses proximity voice chat so talking to other players feels natural when you walk near them. There is also a shopping district that is built above an open ancient city at spawn so the center of the world feels pretty cool.
The server runs Minecraft version 1.21.11 and is hosted in Germany. Sleep is set to 20 percent so only a few players need to be in bed to skip the night. Enderman griefing is turned off so they do not steal blocks.
The End is closed for the first week. After that everyone will go together to fight the dragon as a group event. If you like semi vanilla survival and playing close to other people this server feels like a nice place.
The Lab SMP Fresh Semi-Vanilla Season
Join Our Aternos Survival Crew
I found a Discord group where someone is trying to start an Aternos Minecraft server with a friend and they want more people to join.
It sounds like a simple setup that is more about getting a bigger group together and playing with others.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNexus SMP Mature 18+ Fabric Survival
Nexus SMP is a mature and chill Minecraft SMP that is strictly 18+. It runs on Fabric 1.21.11 and it is built for people who want a tight knit group and long term builds where life comes first.
The community is kept smaller on purpose so it does not feel massive or random. They use Ledger so griefing and stealing are easier to deal with and your stuff is safer.
There is also a Creative server that matches the SMP settings so you can test redstone or big builds before you spend materials. They use a few required client side mods like Simple Voice Chat and Discord integration plus some QoL mods and Axiom for the Creative server.
Joining is whitelist only with an application that checks the rules and a short interview with staff to make sure you fit in.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKoE Modded Factions RPG Politics
Kingdoms of Elysium is a modded faction RPG server that feels very social and very chaotic. It is built for player politics and big choices and constant interaction. The world is magical and it uses Apotheosis and Iron Spells.
It is not the usual factions style with safe land claims and quiet towns. PvP is more about tactics and planning than just having the biggest group or the most free time. Being brave or sneaky can pay off more than grinding all day.
The economy is risky on purpose. You have a balance system but also physical money so you can carry gold and risk losing it if you die or hide it somewhere safe.
It also avoids scripted roleplay and avoids admin driven outcomes. Stuff like morality and war and logistics and your reputation pushes the story instead. Towns can be built or attacked and they can have NPCs and lore and religions and rituals.
Progression is slowed and expensive gear costs more and the server focuses on early game variety. Boss drop gear is randomized so items roll different stats and you have to think about your build and not just armor value.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBRAND NEW Perma-Death Hardcore SMP
I found a Hardcore SMP where death is forever and it is built for people who want real consequences. There are no revives and no second chances so if you die you are done.
The world is massive at 300000 by 300000 blocks and PvP is on everywhere. Raiding and griefing are allowed too so you always have to watch your back.
It stays close to vanilla but uses a few plugins to make Hardcore better without changing the main feel. I saw stuff like player heads, taking loot from dead players Ender Chests, Simple Voice Chat, and deep stat tracking.
The cool part is the history feels real because players make it all happen. Big players and alliances rise up claim land then eventually die and leave it behind for the next people.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPArcamere Modded SMP RP Worldbuilding
Arcamere is a new modded SMP that is all about world building and roleplay. It feels like a place where people actually talk to each other and make stuff together. Players build towns and write lore and even make conlangs. Some people draw art or write music too and there is voice chat and regular chatting.
The mod pack is meant to make farming better and add quality of life and boost performance. It also supports artistic creativity. The world is custom and huge at 10x10k with realistic biomes so exploring and settling down feels more special.
They also run server events and there is a meta plot with lots of chances for RP. The staff team sounds active and they listen to suggestions from the community. The server runs on Java Edition 1.21.1.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
