Aegea is a semi vanilla survival server with a simple economy and ranks. It uses Spigot and a few plugins to make life easier but it still feels close to normal Minecraft.
You can use commands like help back and sethome to get around. There is tpa and tpahere so you can teleport to other players. You can make trade signs to sell items for your own price and you can use sell and sell hand to make money. You can lock chests and doors and staff can rollback grief with CoreProtect. There is also rtp so you can randomly teleport into the wild. The map is new so there is space to build.
The rank system is based on playtime. Everyone starts as Guest and then becomes Peasant which is the basic rank with five sethomes. After that you can work your way up to Artisan and Noble for more commands and more homes. Once a month there is an election for the highest player rank called Premier. The winner is Premier for one month until the next vote.
Players can also join factions that are called teams. Teams share a name a home and warps so you can build together under one banner.
The rules are pretty simple. No griefing no stealing and no pvp unless everyone agrees. No spamming no hacks and no toxicity. The goal is to have fun and build a close community over time.

I found this Minecraft server called Kingdoms and it is all about semi vanilla roleplay. It runs on version 1.21.10 and it is whitelisted so you have to apply before you can join. The whole idea is player driven politics and big geopolitical stories between different players.
On this server you can create your own kingdom using a custom mod. You can change how your name looks in the tab list and in chat so you can really act like a new character. People make alliances and enemies and build up power over time.
The server has a 24 hour ban if you die in PVP. That makes every fight feel scary and important because if you lose you are gone for a whole day. There is also voice chat so talking and roleplaying with others feels more real.
They use improved terrain and Carpet Mod with player commands to make things smoother but they still keep all the normal vanilla game mechanics. They even bring back old things like string duplication void trading and update suppression for players who like that style.
The community seems focused on serious roleplay and careful survival. If you like kingdoms politics and making your own story this server is built for that.

Jalacraft is a chill survival world that is made for people who like to create content and tell stories. It is an SMP that feels like a long term project and not just a quick map.
The server has a fully custom SMP setup with player driven storylines. There are events lore challenges and collabs so it feels like a world that is always moving forward when people are online.
They want players who are 16 or older and who are comfortable talking with a simple voice mod. You should be at least somewhat active and you need to be ok with people recording and streaming on things like YouTube TikTok and Twitch.
A new season is starting soon but you can still join season 1 for about two more months. It seems like a good place if you like Minecraft and want to be part of a small active community that likes to build something awesome over time.

Eternity Realms is a Minecraft server that feels like a chill place to play and hang out. It is made for players who want to be active and be part of a relaxing community.
The server has land claiming so you can protect your builds from grief. There is a team system so you can join up with other players build together and compete if you want. The world has custom structures so when you explore you find unique builds and surprises around the map.
Eternity Realms also uses custom weapons items and custom enchantments. There are custom bosses too so fights can feel different from normal Minecraft. The server has a working economy so you can trade and earn money and there are ranks and cosmetics so you can show off your style in game.
The server is paid hosted and stays online all the time so it runs smooth with less lag. They are looking for friendly active players builders explorers and adventurers who want to help grow a fun and relaxed community.

SmokeyMC is a towny style SMP where players build towns and decide if they want peace or war with other towns. It feels like a survival world but with extra features that make towns and battles matter.
The server has playtime based ranks and jobs so you get rewarded by just playing a lot. There are mcMMO skills and progression too so your tools and abilities feel stronger over time. There are also player made shops that use in game balance so the economy is all run by players.
There is custom terrain that makes exploring look different from normal Minecraft. You can use rtp and there are resource worlds and a flat world so you can gather stuff or build without ruining the main world. There is also an online server map so you can track towns and see where battles and bases are.
The community supports both Java and Bedrock players and it has cross play so everyone can join together. The gameplay is meant to be lag free and there is optional Discord voice chat if you like talking while you play. The server runs Minecraft version 1.21.10 and has monthly events that keep things interesting.
If you want to start your own town or join someone else this server is focused on that kind of play. You hang out build fight or trade with other players and towns and choose your own style.
