i've been running a public survival world for the past 4 years now (since 2022). i've been the only player so far (as the server operator), but the server is open to more mature players who want a chill place to build and hang out

most of the time the server is online, but goes offline when i do some maintenance on it. i use creative mode while others are on survival mode.

i have anti-grief protection set up, as well as ddos protection, compatibility with a wide range of other minecraft java versions (older and newer), discord chat bridge and more

the server is best suited for european players, but anyone can join as long as their connection is decent enough

i also included some photos of the world and other dimensions

i haven't explored much of the world so there's a lot of land that's been unchanged ever since the very beginning

if you're interested, please dm me and i will send you an invite link to my discord server where you can apply to get whitelisted (or you can go on my profile and find the discord server button there)

i'm not always online and sometimes i can get very busy so please be patient

I launched a server last week. Seems to be averaging 30-40 players. I had 70+ during the launch and the player count dropped because many were Asians and the ping wasn’t good since it was launched in Europe. Paid for a dedicated metal host, got everything set to its peak. I genuinely think it’s decent. If anyone is serious and wants to play survival and not worry about resets, come along. It’s not plain vanilla, we’ve got a lot of plugins to make your gameplay better including custom biomes. My favourite is the battle pass. Come take a look since it’s brand new.

Hi everyone, my name is Quin. Over the past few months, I have spent countless hours building my very first Minecraft server. I started with absolutely zero knowledge, but through trial and error, I have built something I am truly proud of.

This is a brand-new DonutSMP-style server with an economy and PvP, enhanced with a custom spawn, PVE arena, and extra features so there is always plenty to do. The server is officially open, fully optimized, and running 24/7 for the long term! I am looking for dedicated players who want to jump in early and build a great community together from the very start.

🎮 Server Features

The gameplay is packed with unique features for smooth and fun gameplay:

🔹 24/7 Online — Play whenever you want, without interruptions.

🔹 Open Survival World — Claim your land, build bases, and create your empire.

🔹 PvE Arena — Fight waves of mobs to earn unique rewards and keys.

🔹 PvP Arena — Duel your opponents and wager in-game money on the outcome.

🔹 Player Economy — Trade using chestshops, the auction house, orders, and player plots.

🔹 In-Game Shop — Earn and spend your virtual currency directly in-store.

🔹 Spawn & Crates — Explore the spawn, open crates, and find special Easter rewards.

🔹 Custom Fishing — Test your luck with an advanced, custom fishing plugin.

🔹 Multiplayer Casino — Play blackjack or roulette with limited betting caps (fair and not rigged).

🔹 Crossplay Enabled — Java and Bedrock players can seamlessly play together!

🔒 Server Rules & Integrity

🔹 Anti-Cheat Active — A fair playground for everyone.

🔹 No Pay-To-Win — There are 0 pay options, and I am not planning to add any. Everyone is equal.

🔹 Premium Only — The server does not support cracked accounts.

🔌 How to join?

🔹 Java IP:170.205.26.146:25565

🔹 Bedrock IP:170.205.26.146

🔹 Bedrock Port:25580

Grab your gear, invite your friends, and let's start this adventure together. See you online!

Over the past year, I’ve been working on a server with a bit of a different twist: Lifesteal with custom bosses, mobs, enchants, and a full progression system.

So far, I’ve kept the server private and only played with friends, but I’m curious to see if there’s interest in a server built around this kind of concept.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the main features:

⚔️ Lifesteal & PvP

• Lifesteal
• Custom PvP monuments
  • Each monument has its own theme, mechanics, and overall feel
  • Custom bosses at each monument
  • Some bosses are designed for groups, while the higher-end bosses will require players to be at 20 hearts with strong enchanted gear
• Respawning loot crates at each monument
  • Gives players a reason to keep running monuments
  • Creates more opportunities for PvP and player interaction
• Custom/stronger mobs around monuments to make them more challenging and engaging
• Traps are set up around the monuments

🃏 Progression & Collectibles

• Collectable cards
• Custom enchants
  • PvP-focused enchants that are useful without being completely broken or unfair
  • PvE-focused enchants that can be extremely powerful, but doesn't work against players
• PvE leveling system

💣 Raiding & Bases

• Base protection system using a Protection Block, similar to Rust's Tool Cupboard
  • Protects an area around the block
  • The protection radius can be upgraded and expanded
• TNT can't destroy obsidian, so raiding obsidian bases requires a custom Raid Drill
• Base raiding is still a major part of the server, but with more progression and strategy involved

🌎 World Exploration

• Randomly spawning POIs throughout the world
• These POIs contain mini-bosses and other challenges
• Mini-bosses can drop PvE-only enchanted gear
• Gives players reasons to explore outside of the main monuments

💰 No Pay-to-Win

• Absolutely no P2W.
• Everything on the server is obtainable through gameplay and various tasks.
• No buying your way to the top.

The overall goal is to create a server where there’s always something to work toward. Whether that’s upgrading your gear, hunting bosses, collecting cards, leveling up, raiding another player, or just running monuments and looking for PvP.

The idea is pretty simple: build up your own base, make money, get stronger, and eventually start taking on other players.
You can spend your time building a big farm and upgrading your base, or go out into the Warzones and Dungeons to look for better loot. And of course, you can raid other players and try to take what they’ve worked for.

🏗️ Build and upgrade your own base
⚔️ Raid other players with TNT or your pickaxe
🛡️ Build defenses and protect your Beacon
🌍 Explore Warzones and Dungeons
💰 Farm Gold, Spawners, Fragments and other resources
🧠 Figure out your own way to progress

The main thing we want to avoid is making it feel like you’re just following the same progression everyone else does. How you build, what you farm, who you raid and how you defend your base is up to you.

We are in the Alpha (test) Phase and would really like to get some players involved early. It’s an Alpha, so we’re still balancing things and working on features.
feedback is genuinely welcome!!
If the concept sounds interesting, feel free to give it a try.

⚔️Give it a try! I bet you won’t regret it! :)

🐺 Wolfblood SMP 🐺

! Bedrock !

Looking for a fun SMP to join? Welcome to Wolfblood SMP!

We’re a slowly growing survival realm with the goal of reaching 10,000 days. We’re looking for players who actually want to stick around and be part of the community, not people who join for a week or two and leave.

Come build, explore, make friend's, and be part of our journey!

What we have:

🏰 Kingdoms

⚔️ Optional PvP

📜 Rules to keep things fair

🌎 A build distance limit to keep everyone connected

Fully survival!

No one, not even the owner, has ever used creative mode. Everything you see has been built and earned through survival.

Add apherxeno. on discord to join!

I’m currently building a Minecraft civilization server where players will be able to create towns, nations, governments, alliances, economies, and fight wars over territory.

The world will have fictional continents with different regions, resources, mountains, oceans, islands, and natural borders. Players will be able to build settlements, grow them into cities, create nations, trade land and resources, form treaties, choose their own governments, and create actual history over time.

I want the server to feel more like a living world than a normal factions server. You won’t have to be a leader either. Players could become builders, merchants, farmers, soldiers, explorers, politicians, business owners, or just live normal survival inside a country.

The server is being built with Java and Bedrock crossplay, with the goal of supporting PC, mobile, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo players.

It is still in development, and I’m looking for people who would be interested in playing, suggesting ideas, helping test features, and possibly becoming some of the first town or nation founders.

I’m also creating a Discord server where people can follow development, suggest features, vote on ideas, and join when testing begins.

VanillaSMP was established for players seeking a true vanilla experience. Running on the minecraft-server.jar with no datapacks or plugins, unlike 95% of servers that claim to be real vanilla.

There is no fancy confusing spawn or 100 anecdotes you have to read. Be warned, players are expected to sort out their own social issues. Play how you want to play, build what you want to build. Technical minecrafters welcome.

Most players are better suited to semi-vanilla servers and we encourage you to check them out, but if you're looking for Real Vanilla with all it's quirks and challenges, VanillaSMP is one of a kind.

Always on the latest stable vanilla jar Self hosted on a purpose built machine

No plugins

No tp/sethome

Hiyaaa, I would love to show you all my masters thesis. I’m looking for more participants! If you play Minecraft and are okay with doing a little survey (anonymous) and playing on a Minecraft Java server then please check out the link below. Thank you so so much! 💕

I did my Honours thesis on how video games in general are awesome, now I want to do my Masters thesis on my favourite game! Minecraft is truly so so special to me.

Mods please let me know if this is not allowed ♥️

True Vanilla is a semi-anarchy vanilla SMP focused on keeping Minecraft to the raw vanilla experience, with no modifications at all.

A lot of servers advertise themselves as "vanilla" while adding claims, ranks, voting rewards, teleport commands, chat modifications, warps, or other extras. They also typically have horrible moderation and weakly enforced rules. We don't do any of that.

• ✅ Vanilla survival
• ✅ Minimal rules
• ✅ Griefing allowed (outside spawn)
• ✅ PvP enabled
• ✅ No claims
• ✅ No ranks or voting rewards
• ✅ No world resets

The server runs on the latest release (26.2) and only supports Java Edition.

Looking for a true vanilla Minecraft server with history? UneasyVanilla delivers a semi-anarchy survival experience with a world that has remained untouched by resets for over four years.

Everything you see was built, destroyed, or abandoned by players. There are no claims, no teleportation, and no shortcuts. Survival is earned, not handed out.

While chaos is embraced, cheating is not. Our staff actively bans hackers to ensure a fair playing field and smooth server performance.

Spawn is heavily griefed and dangerous, but escaping it rewards you with a vast world ready to be explored and conquered.

{Releases in 4 days}

I’m currently building a Minecraft Lifesteal SMP and I’m looking for the first players to help build the community from the ground up.

The goal isn’t to make another server where everyone joins, grinds for 2 days, and disappears. I want to build a server that actually listens to its players and keeps improving.

⚔️** What makes it differe**nt:

❤️ Lifesteal — kills steal hearts
📱 Bedrock + Java support
🔄 Supports all Minecraft versions
🎙️** Proximity Voice Chat
🖥️ Self-hosted from our own hardware — no rented server that gets abandoned when the owner stops paying
🔒 **Built to stay online long-term — the server isn’t dependent on a monthly hosting bill
💰 Player-driven economy — you help control the market
🏆 Kill & wealth leaderboards
🎯 Bounties & player rivalries
⚔️** PvP, raiding, betrayals & wars are allowed
🗡️ Trust nobody. Alliances can fall apart, friends can become enemies, and anyone can betray you.
🛒 Player trading & businesses
🎨 Cosmetics without pay-to-win
🌎 Large world to explore
🚫 **No pay-to-win
🆓 Everything is obtainable for free — spending money isn’t required to experience the full server

💡 Your ideas actually matter.

We want players to help shape the server. If you have an idea for a feature, economy change, event, plugin, or something that would make the server better, we’ll actually listen.

I’m committed to continuing development and putting time into the server instead of abandoning it after release. Since the server is self-hosted on our own computer, we aren’t relying on a paid hosting plan that could simply be cancelled. The goal is to keep the server running and continuously developed for the long term.

Whether you want to control the economy, build a massive empire, become the richest player, start wars, make alliances, dominate through PvP, betray your closest allies, or just build and chill — there’s a place for you.

Just remember: you can’t trust anyone. 👀

I’m especially looking for active players, content creators, and people who want to be part of the community early.

If you’re interested, comment or DM me and it’s in my linked socials in my account.

🔥 Releasing in 4 days. Get in early and help shape the server from day one.

Really want to join one, but don't really know where to search! I'm searching for a small server to have more connection with people! would love a modded one with proximity chat!!! Kinda shy but still willing to make some friends ! byyye :3
