A community-oriented SMP network offering survival, Towny, and an Earth world with an emphasis on being welcoming to new players. Joinable from Java and Bedrock.
SimPvP
A vanilla SMP running since 2010 with almost no gameplay rules beyond a hacking ban, famous for its player-made factions, wars, and internet folklore. The map has never been reset.
Origin Realms

Home of Freedonia, the Guinness-recognized oldest never-reset Minecraft server, launched within an hour of survival multiplayer's release in August 2010. A living museum of over 15 years of player builds, with strict anti-grief enforcement.
Empire Minecraft
A community SMP network running since 2011 across multiple linked survival servers, with protected residences, an economy, and an active forum community. Known for its friendly, rules-driven culture.
DonutSMP
A massive hardcore SMP where killing, stealing, and raiding are allowed and player kills cost hearts. Regularly one of the highest-population survival servers, with full Java and Bedrock crossplay.
CivMC
The current flagship of the Civ genre, where players build nations with their own laws, economies, and wars, and rule-breaking is punished by player-run justice systems rather than staff. Deeply political, long-term SMP gameplay.
BlossomCraft
A laid-back, no-grief SMP that puts community first, with an economy and light extras on top of relaxed survival. Welcomes both Java and Bedrock players.
