AvalonEarth is an earth smp server that focuses on nations and geopolitics. The map scale is 1 to 500 so there is a lot of space to claim land and build your own country.
The server uses Towny as the main plugin. Anyone can start a town and nation using starter money you get when you join. You do not have to grind first or meet big player requirements which makes it easy to get started.
There are a lot of wars and conflict so it is good if you like pvp and strategy. If you do not like fighting you can still live a peaceful life and mostly avoid the battles. There is koth events and a custom player head system where killing someone gives you their head and you can sell it for some of their money.
The main way to earn money is through jobs. You can pick jobs like Hunter Lumberjack Miner Fisherman and Farmer. This makes grinding feel more fun and gives you different ways to play.
The server already had a first season that went well and made a strong community. Now it is in season two and there are many new players. At peak european times there are around 40 to 50 players online which makes the world feel active but not crowded.

Broomstix SMP Creative Crossplay Hub
I found Broomstix SMP and it is a hard difficulty server that works for both Java and Bedrock players. It runs on the latest version with backwards compatibility so people can still get in.
The server has custom enchantments and a cool trick where you can put a lead on mobs to teleport them. There is land claiming with ProtectionStones and the rules say no grief so your builds can stay safe.
There is a bartering economy system plus server shops and a public market. You can also use homes and private messaging and player teleport commands so it is easy to meet up.
PvP is mostly in an exclusive main arena and you keep inventory there. Random teleport is allowed in the overworld and every Sunday you get free fly in the overworld.
The community stuff is strong too with Minecraft and Discord integration and responsive staff. They even do homework help on Discord and there are voting ranks and rewards and tutorial warps.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBuild a Nation in ATM10
I found a modded server called Iperios that runs on All the Mods 10 version 5.5. The main idea is nations where players can make their own group with a government plus laws and ranks.
If you do not want to start your own nation you can join one that already exists. To get in you join their Discord and ask for whitelist then check the new player info channel for what to do next.
After you get whitelisted a staff member helps you and gives a beginner kit so you can start playing. You need the ATM10 modpack installed on version 5.5 to join.WebsiteDiscordGG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGerman Vanilla Survival With Chill QoL
community-driven serverLaid-Back Survivalnew friends welcomerelaxed survival paceTeamwork focused play
I found a small server for German players that is mostly vanilla and is about having fun and playing Minecraft together.
It has some simple QoL commands like a home command and an enderchest command so getting around and managing stuff feels easier.
The server is whitelist only so you have to get approved before you can join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Semi Anarchy SMP PVP Grind
I found a brand new Minecraft Java semi anarchy SMP that is built for a fun and tough PVP experience.
The vibe is Diamond SMP since netherite is not allowed. Ender pearls have limits and you cannot use elytra in combat. Maces have a cooldown plus enchantment restrictions but you can still get infinite maces.
It also has playtime rewards and it is not pay to win. The rewards can help you get shulker boxes before the End opens which happens one week after launch.
The server is launching later today so it feels like a fresh start where everyone is trying to get good fast.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMinedHype Long-Term Vanilla SMP
MinedHype is a friendly long term public survival server that has been run by the same owner for 6 years. It started back in 1.14 and it has had over 19400 unique players join.
It feels mostly vanilla and it runs on Minecraft 1.21.11. There is no pay to win and there is no money economy plugin so trading is done with player run shops using item trades.
You can protect your builds with claims and CoreProtect is used to help protect the server too. Grief is allowed if you did not claim the area so you should claim your stuff.
The Overworld and Nether are meant to stay long term and they will not be reset. There is no set world border or spawn and players spawn randomly within the first 40k blocks. You can also use rtp to go within 50k blocks and then set a home.
Java and Bedrock players can play together. There is a web map you can use and chat reports are disabled. There are free events with prizes and a public shopping district where people can apply for a shop.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
