I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now
They plan to start the server in about a week so it feels like a new beginning
It is meant to stay close to vanilla and keep things simple
NEO SMP is a new survival server that just started up and it is made for people who are sick of servers that lag hard or die fast.
It has active staff and it says there are no weird resets so your progress stays.
There are fun plugins like a shop and a bank plus working tpa and home so getting around is easy.
Java players and Eaglercraft players can play together and chat and team up with no problem.
The Perch is a Java SMP that is built to feel like a real Minecraft home with no resets. It tries hard to stay calm and welcoming with no toxicity or drama.
The server focuses on what the community asks for. Players can share ideas through suggestions and tickets plus feedback forms. Changes get posted in weekly changelogs and there are monthly events to help people hang out.
It keeps a survival feel and avoids stuff that feels bloated. A lot of features can be toggled off if you do not like them. It also puts effort into keeping farms and redstone working like base game.
There is a playtime based ranking system that unlocks perks. There is also a fair balanced economy with lots of player run shops. You also get small gameplay tweaks and a web map that shows all worlds. The listed version is 1.21.11.
DogeM games is a semi anarchy vanilla server with a fun pvp vibe and a community that is still new and growing.
It runs 24 7 and it is not too late to jump in since the next reset is planned for late May.
People come here to make friends start teams fight loot build and try to conquer the world.
I found OakenvaleSMP and it is a survival server with a medieval theme. It is about building big places like towns castles and whole kingdoms while still having to survive and progress.
Players can explore a lot and go on adventures. The world is made to feel more interesting with custom biomes and extra random generated structures.
It uses some QoL plugins and it has claims and teams so people cannot destroy your builds or loot your stuff. There are also daily and hourly rewards you can check in game with /rewards.
You can play how you want like builder merchant farmer or explorer. The community can work together or compete and new players are welcome.
It runs on version 1.21.10 and the server is located in England.
