This is a semi vanilla survival SMP where people actually stick around because the community is chill and there is a real economy.
The server uses diamonds as money so trading feels simple. You can claim land with golden shovels so your builds stay safe. There are player shops plus a shops GUI so you can buy and sell without running all over.
Java and Bedrock players can play together. There is also a live world map you can check in a browser. Resource worlds are separate so the main world does not get wrecked.
It is true survival and mostly PvE with no griefing and no keep inventory. There are ranks and vote rewards and weekly events so there is usually something going on.
SableCraft Long-Term Chill Vanilla SMP

SableCraft is a small semi vanilla survival SMP that is starting from the very beginning. It is made to be long term and not a server that keeps resetting all the time.
The vibe is chill and respectful. Builders casual players and creators are welcome. It is not pay to win and it is not anarchy. They also want no drama and they want the community to help shape what the server becomes from day 1.
They are doing season 1 player applications and even optional staff applications through their Discord. The launch is coming soon so this is a good time to join early.

Malgazar is a friendly server where people like to work on big building projects together. A lot of stuff gets built out in the open so everyone can see it and use it.
The server stays mostly vanilla and only uses a couple quality of life plugins like Proximity Chat and VeinMiner. It also stays on the latest version for both Java and Bedrock.
The moderation team is really active. If someone griefs you or steals while you are offline they handle it fast and revert the damage.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBlackridge Season II Slow Hardcore Vanilla

Blackridge is a semi vanilla survival server that feels like a real group of people. It is made for long term builds and for seeing the same names when you log in. It is not a fast server where everyone rushes and leaves.
Season II makes survival feel heavier. Ores are rarer so diamonds matter again and netherite is something you have to work for. The world runs slower too so crops and saplings take their time and fire spread is not wild.
The danger grows as the world gets older because mobs scale over time. There is also a huge vertical build limit up to 2032 blocks so you can build super high or dig deep.
Java and Bedrock players share the same world so you can play from PC or console or mobile. A neutral trade hub is planned where players can set up shops and trade and sell valuables. The server uses CoreProtect for grief prevention and has Simple Voice Chat and Graves. It keeps things simple with no big economy stuff and no land claims so it runs on effort and trust.

Realm of Thrones is a small crossplay SMP where players build nations and try to become the top empire. It feels like a mix of civilization building and PvP where wars can happen but peace and trade can matter too.
You can level up your kingdom and rise through ranks using in game money and play time. As you grow you get more access and prestige so it feels like you are always moving forward.
There are configurable tech components so people can make factory style builds and go full industry mode. The server also has a bunch of quality of life changes so there is usually something to do.
Players can fish for legendary catches then sell them. There are crates if you want to test your luck. You can use the server shop or make your own shop. You can take jobs and get paid for playing while you level them. McMMO is here too and there are about 25 new quests that just launched as a test with more planned later.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFantasy Modded SMP With Dragons Lore

I found a modded Minecraft SMP that is growing fast and it is trying to get new people in early while the world is still pretty fresh.
The server has deep lore and it is heading into season 2 with a big fantasy theme. The story is about dragons and monsters and the land is supposed to be full of them. With the Ice and Fire mod you can search for dragons fight them and even tame your own.
You can play as a monarch running a kingdom or be a warrior or just be a tavernkeep. There are also other monsters plus custom structures and dungeons to explore.
The world border is kept smaller so players stay closer together then it expands over time. People are encouraged to form settlements and player houses. PVP is allowed but random killing is not the vibe and wars are meant to be more formal.
The server uses a whitelist so you have to apply first.

I found a new survival server that is mostly vanilla but it uses plugins like lifesteal and voice chat. It is made for people who want chaos but still want a decent community too.
This server is pretty anarchy so you can kill people do pvp betray and grief. It is not a cheat server though since hacks and cheats are not allowed.
Right now it only has a few members so it feels fresh and open. The owner is also thinking about changing things over time so it might evolve.
Version is 1.21.11.

I found a Minecraft server called MinecraftOffline and it runs on version 1.21.11.
