Survival servers

Survival is the original Minecraft game mode. On survival servers, you start with nothing, gather resources, build bases, and explore — all while managing hunger, health, and hostile mobs. What sets a great survival server apart is its community: active players, balanced economies, land protection so your builds stay safe, and staff who maintain order. Many survival servers add plugins like McMMO (skill progression), player shops, and teleportation systems that transform the vanilla experience into something richer. Survival is the broadest game mode — it overlaps with SMP, Towny, and even anarchy servers depending on rules and moderation style.
