The PumpkinSMP is a new survival SMP where base-building is safe, but the world around you is still pure chaos. You can claim your land and protect your builds from griefing, but stealing inside claims is allowed, so even your base is never fully out of danger.
Outside of claims, PvP is on and trapping players is allowed, so you'll want to stay sharp, make allies, and watch your back. The survival world also has a world border around 10,000 blocks for now, and it can grow as more players join. Simple voice chat is installed too, but it's totally optional if you want to talk to people while playing.
The server is not pay-to-win. Ranks are earned with in-game money and jobs, and there's even a risky rank system where your rank can drop as an item if you get killed or trapped by other players. It's a fresh server, so there's still lots of untouched land, and the goal is to build up a strong community with more content, events, and gamemodes coming soon.
If you want a mix of peaceful building and messy player conflict, this server leans hard into that balance: claim your base, get rich, survive, betray, repeat.
