Best Pvping Minecraft Servers

A few years ago i found a server called castlecraftmc , I played it so much and i even bought a rank and almost got the helper rank , sadly it shut down 4 years ago now , i waited and waited for the server to come back up but unfortanately it did not so i took matters into my own hand and tried to replicate the feel of castlecraft

The server also has a bunch of stuff to make it unique such as ,Pets ,Custom mobs , Furniture, Diseases , crates etc
