The Bleeding Heart SMP is only a few weeks old. It’s still small, still forming its history, and that’s kind of the point. Nothing here feels “finished” yet.. towns are half-built, alliances are still forming up, and the world hasn’t been griefed to oblivion.

What makes it different isn’t plugins or gimmicks, but how consequences work.

Death is permanent.
Unless someone else decides it shouldn’t be.

If a player dies, their head remains at the place they fell. Another player can recover it and, with effort and (a lot) of resources, bring them back through a revival shrine. Survival becomes social by necessity: you’re safer if people care whether you live.

A few other things that are worth mentioning:

The map is almost infinite, with the Far Lands over 12 million blocks out. You can walk away from everything if you want to. World border at 30 million blocks. What brings people together is the necessity to trade heads to revive their friends, amongst other things.

We run on FabricMC. TNT duping, gravity blocks & rails duping works. Complex redstone works as intended. (Yes, this means orbital strike cannons are technically possible!)

There is only one mace on the entire server, so far in the few weeks we've been online, it has swapped owners 3 or 4 times.

The player base is still small and growing. That means reputations form quickly, choices linger, and actions actually matter. So far, we've had a little over 200 players join, which is honestly crazy to me for such a small amount of uptime, I can never thank them enough.

If you’re looking for a loud server with constant events and instant progression, loot boxes and pay to win, this is not it. There isn't and will never be any method of paying to get loot on the Bleeding Heart SMP.

If you’re looking for a place where the early days matter, where survival feels earned, and where the world will remember what players did first, please consider giving it a try. No harm in checking it out and leaving if it's not for you.
