I found this server called Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy Minecraft world that feels really close to vanilla. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is always online.
You can join with a lot of Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.10 and they say it works best on 1.21.10. The world border is huge at 2 million blocks so you can run super far away and still keep going.
The server has no map resets and no teleporting at all except for a simple spawn command so people very far away are not stuck alone forever. There is no pay to win stuff and griefing and PvP are totally allowed so you have to be careful who you trust.
It is mostly vanilla but they removed phantoms which is nice and they let people use the nether roof. Only half the people on the server need to sleep to skip the night so you are not stuck in the dark all the time.
Even though it is semi anarchy it still has a few rules. You cannot use exploits or lag machines or duping. You also cannot spam chat or harass people or use racial slurs. So it is chaotic but not totally toxic.
Overall it feels like a raw survival server where players control almost everything and staff only stops the really broken stuff.

Veilfall Dark Fantasy Dungeon MMO
Veilfall is a Minecraft server project I found that is going for a dark fantasy MMO style feel. It is all about exploring a big world while getting stronger over time.
The main stuff seems to be custom dungeons with tough bosses plus unique loot and progression. There are safe zones where you can breathe a bit and dangerous regions where things get scary.
They are still building it and want early testers and community members to help shape gameplay and balance. They are also looking for builders moderators supporters and people who can come up with game ideas.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRebirthMC Pure Vanilla Survival Vibes
I found a pretty new public server called RebirthMC and it feels like a mostly vanilla survival place.
The community is small and really welcoming. In just over a week I ran into some of the best builders and redstoners and farm builders I have seen.
It is running on version 1.21.11. It also seems like it has crossplatform too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBrand New Towny Factions SMP
I found ArcticMC SMP and it is a chill survival server that mixes Towny and factions. It only launched a couple days ago so it feels fresh and easy to get started.
You can build a town and claim your space then make alliances or go for territory like a real faction server. PVP matters here but they use an honor system that is explained in their rules.
It also has McMMO skills so you level up while you play and unlock special abilities as you grow. There are custom items too and they even have furniture that is entity based with plans to limit it per chunk to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks really realistic with big mountains and valleys. The community is calm and friendly so it is more about building and vibing instead of nonstop chaos.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPuffer SMP Strict Whitelist Survival
Puffer SMP is a long term survival server that is all about community. It is meant for people who actually want to stick around and play with others.
The world is built to last so your progress is not getting wiped all the time. The gameplay feels inspired by Hermitcraft with an economy and player shops plus a shopping district and big builds.
People team up trade and work on group projects. There are events too and it sounds like they try to keep it natural instead of forcing you to be active.
This server uses a strict whitelist application. The point is to keep out griefers and trolls and to make sure members are mature respectful and serious about joining. They are looking for 18 plus players including builders redstoners explorers and casual grinders.
They also say they have stable uptime and active moderation to keep things fair and chill.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad PvP With Weekly Events
Frontline Combat is a modded team based PvP server that feels like squad battles and battlefield style fights.
It runs regular events every week. The staff keeps trying to make each event better and they use their own custom mods and content.
The server is Java only and it is looking for more players to join and help grow the community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
