ArdynFall SMP is a vanilla style survival server that is trying to keep the original Minecraft feel but with a few tweaks that just make things better. It runs on version 1.21.10 and has been going for about a year so the world is already lived in but still has tons of space to build and explore.
There are no planned server resets so anything you build is meant to last. The server stays up all the time and gets backed up a lot so your progress is pretty safe. There is a friendly staff team around to help if something goes wrong or you are confused about anything.
The server uses a player run economy based on diamonds and there is a shopping district you can help grow. They also run events like hide and seek and base tours so people can show off their builds and hang out together. It feels focused on community and people actually playing together.
There is also a separate creative server for members so you can test builds or work on group projects without risking your stuff in survival. The plugins are all quality of life ones that do things like fix mob griefing and make some tasks faster but the basic gameplay stays vanilla.
The server supports proximity voice chat if you want to talk in game without having to sit in a call all the time. Overall it feels like a chill SMP where you can settle in for the long term and slowly build your own legacy with other players.

Enderpearl German Server Needs Team
Casual city lifeJava plugin developmentKnockback practice fightsMySQL database setupPaper plugin coding
I found Enderpearl and it is a German Minecraft server that has been online for a while and it is meant to last. The team says the server has been around since 2021 and they want to improve it step by step and keep it stable.
On the server you can play BuildFFA and KnockbackFFA if you like fast fights. There is also CityBuild for more chill building and BedWars for teams and quick games. They are also working on another game mode right now.
They are looking for people who really want to help with the project not just basic support roles. They want Java developers who can make Paper plugins and fix stuff. They also want people with server know how like Velocity proxy and backend setup plugin configs LuckPerms performance MySQL testing and finding problems.
It is a hobby project so there is no payment. If you are reliable and you know servers or coding this place seems like it wants serious long term helpers.

I found ArcticMC and it is a new SMP that started only a couple days ago. It is a Towny and factions survival server so you can make a town and claim land then team up with others or fight over territory.
PVP matters here but it is not just random killing. They use an honor system and it is explained in their rules so combat is supposed to stay fair.
There is McMMO skills so you level up as you play and unlock abilities when you get higher levels. They also have custom items like furniture and it is entity based so they plan limits per chunk to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks realistic with big mountains and valleys. The community is meant to be calm and friendly so you can build grind explore or just hang out.
