This server started pretty normal and people were joining and having fun. Then the owner put it on voting sites and everything went crazy. The tps dropped super low and chat was full of people freaking out.
It was not just lag from players. Someone built a huge lag machine that was so strong you needed render distance on 2 and it could still crash your game. The owner kept restarting the server but the lag came back every few minutes.
Then a player showed the owner where the lag machine was. It was so bad you could not even get close to it. So the owner decided to use world edit and removed a big area of chunks to save the world and the player progress instead of deleting the whole map.
This server is all about wild stuff happening and the owner trying to keep the world alive while players do crazy things. If you like survival with real danger from other players builds and huge lag machines this is the kind of place you hear stories about.
Crystal Free Sword PvP Survival SMP
sVanilla Survival is a survival SMP focused on sword based PvP and raiding. It is made for players who want a no cheating kind of server where fights feel old school and up close.
The world is big and it never resets. There are no land claims so bases can be found and raided. You can grief fight team up or betray people and the server only steps in to keep it fair play.
Crystals and anchors are disabled so melee combat matters more. There is a combat tag system with PvP restrictions like no elytra in combat and there is an 8 second totem cooldown. Breach swapping is patched too.
It stays mostly vanilla but has a few helpful commands like teleport ignore and sethome. There is no economy plugin so trading with other players is the main way people do business. TNT duplication with piston and slime setups is enabled so farms and big machines are possible.
You can join on Java and Bedrock using Geyser and the server is based in USA East.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLazyCraft SMP No Ranks Full Features
LazyCraft is a survival SMP that tries to stay clean and fair. I noticed it has no ranks and it does not take donations. The idea is that everyone gets the same access to the server features right away.
It is built for people who want to actually play the endgame and work on big projects. The server uses lots of plugins and some custom stuff but it is aiming for a more vanilla feel instead of pay to win bloat.
There are land claims that work by chunks and you can make one with a command. There is a shop plot world where players can set up shops and there is a blocks warp with building stacks at a fixed price. You also get teleports like tpa rtp and warps.
If you die your items go into a grave so they do not burn or scatter. There are mob catchers you can craft with an egg and amethyst for moving passive mobs. You also get playtime rewards every 15 minutes.
The overworld is a huge 32K map that is already generated and rtp can send you out to 16K. The server also says it runs on strong hardware to keep lag low.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSolaris SMP Vanilla Plus Season 2

Far to the West is a modded SMP that is going for a mature fantasy style survival world. It is meant to feel like a long term forever world but with a big modpack that changes how you play.
The server leans into building and adventure at the same time. There are building mods with lots of new blocks and there are adventure mods that make the world feel more alive. It also has combat and dungeon stuff so exploring does not feel boring.
I also saw that it has a roleplay vibe with a place to make OCs. The lore has a basic template right now and it grows based on what players do so your choices can actually shape the story.
