The Pen is a classic prison server that feels like old school Minecraft. It is not an overpowered prison. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you actually have to grind to rank up.
You work through the ranks from A all the way up to Parolee and then Citizen. To make money you mine and smelt your ores and you have to walk through pvp zones to sell them in the commissary. There is no instant sell so the grind feels tough but fair. You can also earn cash by fishing growing illegal plants or running your own shop.
There are guards who watch the prison and they can take your contraband. Swords and potions are illegal. If a guard sees you with them they can pvp you and even send you to solitary confinement for bad behavior. It makes the whole place feel like a real prison with risk everywhere.
You can rent a prison cell or a prison plot to store items grow those special illegal plants or build a small base. Quests give extra money or special items and there are prestiges after you hit top rank so you can keep pushing further. There is also an auction house bounties on other players and parkour challenges all around the prison.
The server is mainly about that 2014 style grind and community. People are expected to survive fight and trade while the guards try to keep things under control.

FrogSMP is a semi vanilla survival server that wants things to feel wild but still fair. It has pvp and some semi anarchy freedom but cheating and exploiting is a hard no. If you try hacked clients x ray or dupes you are getting clapped by staff.
The pvp rules are serious. You cannot log out to dodge fights and you cannot use the spawn command during combat. There is also a grace period at the start where pvp is off for the first 3 hours so people can get going.
Stealing is allowed only if you are a real enemy. If you are not an enemy then taking stuff is not ok. Griefing anything gets you banned so builds are not meant to get wiped for no reason.
It is Java only so Bedrock players cannot join. Netherite upgrades are disabled so diamond stays important. There is also only one mace for the whole server and whoever crafts it first is the only one who can have it.
You can set your spawn with spawnpoint and use a spawn command to save time. The vibe is goofy but staff still runs the place and they expect people to chill and not bully or lag the server with giant lag farms.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi-Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets
Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy survival server that started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City. It is made to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft with very few changes and very few rules.

The world is huge with a 2 million block border and there are no map resets. There is no pay to win and griefing and PvP are allowed. There is no teleporting except for a spawn command so players far away can get back near other people.
Nether roof access is allowed and phantoms are removed. Only half the players are needed to skip the night. The server does not allow exploits lag machines duping spamming or harassment and racial slurs in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Towny Factions SMP With Honor PVP

PVP matters here and they try to keep it fair with an honor system that is explained in their rules. There is also McMMO so you level up skills while you play and unlock abilities later.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys. They also have custom items and furniture that is entity based so they plan limits to help with lag.
