This is a new 3 Life SMP that feels really tense but also kind of chill. It is a Java 1.21.11 survival server and you only get three lives.
If another player kills you then you lose a life. When you lose all three lives you get banned from the server. There are no revivals and no cheats so every fight actually matters.
The PvP is pretty intense but the community is active and friendly so it is not just pure chaos. It looks really good for people who like to stream or make videos because the life system makes everything more dramatic.
Elytras are disabled and super overpowered PvP mechanics are turned off so fights feel more balanced and fair. There is no long application. You can just join and start playing if you want that mix of relaxed but competitive gameplay with other content creators.

Pixel Springs Cozy Modded SMP 1.20.1

Pixel Springs is a cozy modded SMP on 1.20.1 that is made for people who want a long term world that does not reset. It feels like a place to settle in and build for real not just rush and restart.
The mod list is packed for builders with lots of decoration and building tools. It also has a big farming and cooking focus with a bunch of food mods and you can earn in game currency by doing quests and daily rewards. There is a shopping district so you can set up a shop and trade with other players.
If you like collecting stuff there is a custom FTB Quests system that helps guide you and gives rewards. There are also magic mods like Botania Hexerei Mystical Agriculture and Ars Noveau.
Animal lovers have a lot to mess with too since there are mods that add more creatures and pets. The community is small friendly and welcoming and the admin team helps out and keeps improving things. There is also a separate resource overworld dimension that resets sometimes so resources are not limited.

It has useful commands like /home and /spawn so getting around is easy. PvP is on for fair fights but random killing is not allowed so you need a reason to start a battle.
The server is premium only so cracked accounts cannot join. It sounds like a friendly community with balanced faction gameplay and rules that push respect first.

I found a small semi vanilla survival server that is in testing right now.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDeazlim SMP Risky Survival No Claims

Deazlim SMP is a survival multiplayer server where everything feels risky and real. People can raid your base steal your stuff and grief builds so you actually have to think about defense and hiding your loot.
There are no strict land claims and it is not a forced peace place. You can team up make alliances then get betrayed and come back harder. PvP is allowed and the whole vibe is survival with a competitive edge.
The rules are simple. No spawn killing so new players get a chance. No hacking and no client mods that give unfair advantages. No duping or exploits. No spamming in chat.
They also do seasonal world resets so you can start fresh again. It runs on Java edition and they mention Bedrock cross play might be available.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi-Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets

I found this semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft with only a few changes. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
It stays online all the time and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They say 1.21.10 is the best to use so you do not run into problems.
The world is huge with a 2 million block border and it does not do map resets. There is no teleporting and no pay to win. PvP and griefing are allowed so it can get messy fast.
The only command they allow that is not vanilla is spawn so people far away can get back to civilization. Nether roof is allowed phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They still have some limits since exploits lag machines duping spamming and harassment or racial slurs in chat are not allowed.
