ArcticMC is a new survival server that started just a couple days ago. It is an SMP with Towny and faction style play so you can build a town and claim land then make allies or fight over territory.
PVP matters here but it is meant to stay fair since there is an honor system and it is explained in their Discord rules. The server also uses McMMO so you level up skills while you play like mining and combat and you can unlock special abilities.
It has custom items and they even have furniture that is entity based. They also use Tectonic world generation so the terrain has big mountains and nice valleys and it feels more realistic.
The community vibe is calm and friendly and more about chilling and exploring than pure chaos.

BRAND NEW CROSSPLAY LIFESTEAL SMP
I found a brand new crossplay SMP that just started and it has a lifesteal twist. It is made to feel close to vanilla with only minimal plugins.
The player count is low right now since it is fresh which makes it a good time to join early and try to rise above everyone.
There are very few rules so it feels more free like how a lot of people want an SMP to be.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP5tarRock Medieval Geopol Semi Vanilla Java
5tarRock is a small Java semi vanilla server with a geopolitics style. It has a big custom map that is made to feel realistic like a real planet with real geography.
The server also uses in house made plugins to help it feel like medieval times. The owner is redoing the server and wants to shift away from an older playerbase so the community stays more active.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Without Cheats Crossplay
NoHackAnarchy is a semi anarchy survival server that has been up for almost a year. It is about maximum freedom and only a few rules so players can grief raid build and just try to survive.
It supports Java and Bedrock and also console players like Switch Xbox and PS4 or PS5. That makes it easy to jump in with friends even if everyone is on different platforms.
The big thing is no cheating. Hacked clients xray even xray resource packs are not allowed. Exploiting bugs crashing the server or trying to lag it is not allowed. Macros and automation tools are also not allowed and chat spam gets auto kicked.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew Vanilla Season Starting Soon
I found a survival server with a small community around 90 players and it is opening very soon.
It runs on 1.21.11 and it is almost completely vanilla. The only changes are anti x ray and some admin stuff.
They also use a register plugin so cracked players can play and nobody can steal their name.
The cool part is the community decides what the next season should have so it feels like players actually matter.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPForsaken Realm Mod Test Server
This is a Java modded server for players 16 and up. It is built around a custom mod called Descent into the Realm Forsaken that the owner is making for 1.21.8.
Right now the server is mainly for testing before the next big update. People play to try new stuff and help spot issues while things get added.
If you want a fun place where changes happen during the season and everyone is cool with testing then this one fits.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
