Hardship Vanilla Survival With No Claims
FabricCraft is a vanilla survival server that runs on Fabric so the mechanics feel real and your farms and redstone work how you expect.
It is semi anarchy with minimal rules so players make the story. There are no land claims and no world resets so the map stays persistent and the world feels player driven.
People form alliances and trade and start rivalries and raid each other. Hacked clients and any mods that give you an advantage are not allowed.
There is a simple voice chat mod you can use. Griefing is banned within 1k of spawn and it is handled by active moderation instead of claims.
If you like speedrunning there is also a manhunt gamemode you can play.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPToms3 1.21.1 Cracked Anarchy Reborn
I found Toms3 and it is a cracked anarchy server that came back after being closed for years with a brand new world. It is inspired by the big anarchy style servers and it is made to run for a long time.
It is basically no rules and no admins. No bans and no shadowbans so you can play however you want and that includes cheaters and griefers too.
It stays close to vanilla with only small changes to help stability. There is no tpa and no home so you have to travel the hard way.
There is a separate authentication server. Modified clients are allowed but a strict anti cheat blocks movement stuff like flight and elytrafly and timer style advantages.
It is not beginner friendly and people have already made a lot of progress since the world started on February 3rd.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPurpleSMP Chill PVE Crossplay 1.21.11
PurpleSMP is a small survival server that is meant to feel simple but still polished. It is mostly PVE and it is crossplay so you can join from different devices.
The main extra thing here is the skills plugin that makes grinding feel better. There is a player run economy with no server shops and no currency so trading is up to the players.
You can claim land to protect your builds and there are player vaults for extra storage. PvP is off by default and you can toggle it if you only want to fight with friends.
The staff takes rules seriously and they log blocks so grief is easier to catch. They also back up your inventory on join leave and death so lost items can be checked and restored when it is a rule issue. There is anti cheat and staff gets alerts when it flags.
There is no world border so you can travel far and find untouched land. The server started as friends only in October 2025 and opened to the public in December 2025.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCave Only Semi Anarchy Survival
