** In Season 1, 3rd Life, see Scar and Grian's attempt to create a monopoly over dark oak trees and sand, the server conflict earlier on over villagers, and people begging for and stealing cows.
** In Season 2, Last Life, there's shortages of sugarcane (used in the server-specific TNT recipe) and villagers (as there was no village, making the only way to get them by curing zombie villagers).
** In Season 3, Double Life, the sugarcane shortage continues when Grian starts to hoard the server's supply, and when that fails by Day 3, there's a shortage of sand because there isn't a desert on the server and [[XanatosSpeedChess Grian ends up hoarding most of the server supply of that too]].
** In Season 4, Limited Life, the very mechanism of the season enforces ''life-time'' as the primary, non-renewable resource everyone is fighting over -- everyone has 24 real-life hours to live in-game; killing someone of a higher colour grade (Yellows killing Greens and Reds killing anyone) or as [[MonsterOfTheWeek the Boogeyman]] gives time back (30 minutes and an hour, respectively), and dying means losing an hour (or two if killed by the Boogeyman). The hunts which the Yellow and Red Names go on to get some extra life-time back result in tremendous amounts of bloodshed, and [[PlayedForDrama serves as the overall motive]] for any non-environmental deaths across the season. As the season inches toward a close, many players even ''want'' to become the Boogeyman just so they can get their hands on more life-time for themselves.

* ''WebVideo/LifestealSMP'': The main source of conflict comes from being able to steal each other's hearts by killing them, making them the most valuable resource in the series, as losing all of one's hearts results in the player being banned from the server.
