The Pen MC is a classic prison server that feels like the 2014 style. It is barebones and grindy and you do not get overpowered armor right away. There is no instant selling so you mine then smelt your ores and you have to travel through pvp areas to sell and stay alive.
You rank up from A to H and then you can reach Parole. After you max out you can prestige and pick different ways to keep progressing. You can stick to mining or go into a custom fishing path or fight waves in a mob arena with boss fights. There is also a bakery setup where you farm wheat and cocoa then bake cookies with custom mechanics and do long term cookie quests and leaderboards.
It also has illegal crops that are high risk and high reward and there are guards that enforce contraband rules. You can rent cells and plots and use an auction house plus player shops. There are bounties and solitary confinement and some parkour challenges too.
The server says premium stuff is not pay to win since everything you can buy can also be earned by playing. It is more about the grind and economy balance and long term progress.
RevivalSMP is a survival server with custom lifesteal. If you kill someone you can steal hearts. If you die you lose hearts. When you hit 0 hearts you do not get banned and you become a ghost instead.
A player can visit your grave and give up one of their own hearts to revive you. Enemies can also loot your grave chest if they have a Graveyard Key. If nobody revives you then you stay stuck in the Graveyard for 5 real days and then you auto revive.
It also has a duels system with 1v1 arena fights and ranked leaderboards and you do not lose hearts there. There is a bounty system so players can put a price on someone and hunters can go after them.
There are Community Worlds where players can upload a world invite friends toggle PvP and build with full creative freedom. There is also an AFK World that is a safe zone for going AFK.
The server supports Java and Bedrock crossplay. It has cosmetics and ranks like trails wings halos and glow effects. The world border is huge at 60 million by 60 million. It says it is not pay to win and it is free to play with cosmetics only.
AetheriaSMP is a plain vanilla Minecraft server with a friendly community that keeps growing. It has an active mod team so if something goes wrong there are people around to help.
This server is big on keeping your stuff safe. If someone steals your items or messes up your base the staff can use Core Protect to find who did it and roll back the damage fast.
PVP is only allowed if both players agree to it. If you get killed for no reason the team can help get your items back and punish the player who started it.
The test server is launching soon and they are open to new players.
ArcticMC is a new survival server that mixes Towny and factions so people can build towns then make alliances or fight over land.
PvP matters here and they use an honor system that is explained in their rules so fights are supposed to stay fair.
It also has McMMO skills so you level up stuff like mining and combat as you play and unlock special abilities later.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys. There are custom items too like furniture and they plan limits per chunk to help with lag.
The vibe is calm and friendly so you can grind build explore or just hang out without it feeling chaotic.
HomeLife SMP started as a survival server for someone and their family. Now it is open to the public since nobody was really joining anymore.
It is a fairly chill place and the main town right now is called Mosswood. People are encouraged to make more towns too and help the world grow over time.
They are asking for players to be at least 16 plus so it stays more mature and relaxed.
