Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server for Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. It is trying to feel like real vanilla hardcore with other players and it stays away from pay to win stuff.
The world does not reset so people can build long term. There is no teleporting to other players and the only teleports are a one time randomtp in the overworld plus home to your respawn point and spawn back to Spawn.
The server has a coin economy that is run by players. You get coins by killing mobs and looting chests then you trade with other players using a trading system and an auction house. There are no admin shops for normal items.
There is also a big land claim system to protect your base and builds from griefing. The twist is if you die your claims get deleted so the land becomes unprotected.
The server says it is non pay to win. It has one VIP rank with cosmetic perks and a revive item that works like a full account reset so you can play again without buying a new account.
True Hardcore SMP No P2W Vanilla
Fresh Custom Terrain SMP Launch
I found a brand new SMP that started today and it has custom terrain that looks really cool.
There are around 15 players right now and they want more people to join. The server feels active and pretty chill so far.
It uses plugins like Brewery and Simple Voice Chat so talking in game is easier and hanging out feels more fun.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMoshPit SMP Season 1 Survival Chaos
Auction House Tradingbuild defend repeatFresh season launchgrief friendly survivalvanilla style terrain
MoshPit SMP is a survival server starting Season 1 this weekend. It is made for people who want a fresh world that feels fun and not broken.
There are no land claims so you build at your own risk and raiding can happen. The economy is run by players with an auction house and a sell command. There is also a duel system that is meant to feel risky but worth it.
It has custom enchants that are balanced so it adds depth but does not get silly. The world is custom with new terrain and structures that still fit the vanilla vibe.
It supports cross play for Java Bedrock and cracked. The server is tuned for performance so low end and high end devices can handle it.
There is PvE stuff too with more to explore and challenges that get harder as you go. The owner is active and changes things based on what players say.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP5tarRock Medieval Geopolitics Semi Vanilla
I found a small geopolitics style Minecraft server called 5tarRock and it is semi vanilla on Java.
It has a medieval times vibe and it uses a bunch of in house made plugins to help it feel like that.
The server also has a huge detailed custom map that tries to be realistic like a planets geography.
The owner is redoing the server right now and they want a more active community instead of a big older playerbase.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBalanced Non OP Prison With PvE Lair
RiotBlockMC is a new Prison server that is still in beta and it is not the kind where you max out fast. The progress is slower and feels more fair so you actually have to work for it.
It has a balanced economy with classic rank progression and custom enchants that are meant to work for long term play. The server is being updated a lot right now and they say there is no pay to win stuff.
There is also a PvE area called the Wardens Lair where you fight mobs and loot dungeons to make money instead of only mining. The mobs scale in difficulty so it can get risky but the rewards are better.
They are testing the economy the mob difficulty and how fast progression should be. Progress made during beta will not be reset. It is Java 1.21+.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBedrock Factions Realm With Hardcore Twist
I found a Bedrock factions realm that is starting up and looking for players.
It has a few quality of life mods like tree capitator.
The rules and how stuff works will be decided by polls once everyone is in the Discord. There is a mace limit a 3 life hardcore setup and a smaller world border.
You answer a questionnaire and then you get a Discord friend request.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
