FeralMC

FeralMC: 10 lives. One season. No mercy.

FeralMC is a Java Edition anarchy server with one simple rule that changes everything: every player has exactly 10 lives per season. Die ten times and you are banned until the next season starts. There are no wipes and no resets, so everything you build, steal, and survive is permanent.

Server address: play.feralmc.org Version: Minecraft Java Edition 26.3 Accounts: licensed (paid) Minecraft accounts only

How the 10 lives system works
Every season, each player starts with 10 lives.
Each death costs one life. When the last life is gone, you are banned for the rest of the season.
After every respawn you get 1 hour of protection, so you cannot be killed the second you appear.
Logging out in combat counts as a death. Running away by disconnecting does not work here.
Check your remaining lives at any time with /lives.
Lives are restored only by server admins, and only for a reason (for example a confirmed server crash or a bug). Every restoration is written to a public-facing log with the reason, so nobody gets special treatment in secret.
Seasons are long (a full year), and when a new season starts, everyone gets their 10 lives back.
What makes FeralMC different
Real stakes. Ten lives means every fight, every raid, and every trip into the Nether matters. Play carefully, or play loud and burn your lives fast. The choice is yours.
True anarchy. No claims, no protection plugins, and no staff-run towns. Griefing, raiding, and wars between players are part of the game. We do not roll back player actions.
No wipes. The world is permanent. Bases, stashes, and your reputation last as long as the server does.
Random spawn. New players and respawning players appear at a random place inside a large area around the world center, so there is no single spawn point to camp.
Fair rules for technical cheats. We block movement hacks and crash or lag exploits, because they ruin the game for everyone and can take the server down. Everything else is up to the players.
Licensed accounts only. This keeps ban evasion hard. Once your 10 lives are gone, a new free account cannot bring you back.
Technical
Hosted in Frankfurt, Germany on fast dedicated-grade hardware, with a stable 20 TPS.
DDoS protection in front of the server, so attacks do not take the game offline.
A pre-generated world, so exploring and flying do not cause lag spikes.
Automatic backups several times a day, so a technical failure never costs players their progress.
Chat flood protection against spam clients.
Rules in short
Licensed accounts only.
No crash exploits, no lag machines meant to take the server down.
No movement cheats.
Everything else is allowed: raiding, griefing, trapping, base hunting.
Staff decisions about restoring lives are final, and every one is logged with its reason.
