Back2Basics SMP is a semi vanilla survival server that feels like normal Minecraft but with a few tweaks to make life easier and more fair. It started in December 2023 and now has new ownership and a really community focused vibe. It runs versions from 1.9 up to 1.21 and higher but the newest version is recommended.
The server has a player driven economy where you buy sell and trade using in game currency. You can earn rewards through gameplay and voting so you do not need to spend real money to get cosmetics and perks. You can also trade with other players if you want something from the shop.
There are custom plugins that keep the game close to vanilla but add quality of life features. Keep inventory is turned on so if you die to mobs or other players you keep your gear. There is a random teleport command so you can quickly find a new place for a base. Land claiming is simple with its own custom claim system so you can protect your builds without a golden shovel.
The server runs weekend events like build battles staff hunts and quests every Saturday and Sunday. These events give in game rewards and help people play together. The staff is active and online a lot and the community is friendly to both new and experienced players.
If you like survival servers that are focused on community fair play and light features instead of heavy mods this server fits that style.

CaveMC is a semi anarchy survival server where the whole overworld is underground. There is no normal surface at all. Everything is inside a giant cave world with custom generation made by real Minecraft developers.
The caves feel like a full world with biomes resources and structures. It is still mostly vanilla but the terrain is totally different. Surviving here is really hard and only players who are smart with gear and resources last for long.
Season 2 adds a brand new Wasteland Dimension. It is not just a small biome. It is a huge new place with its own special currency so players can build a new economy and trade in a different way.
In the Wasteland you can find new powerful gear that changes how combat and survival work. There are giant mega structures with secrets and loot to discover. There is also a new spawn that fits the Wasteland theme and makes the start feel fresh.
The Wasteland map is custom made and looks cool and tricky. It has special features that make exploring and fighting there feel different from normal Minecraft. If you want a tough cave only world with semi anarchy rules and a crazy new dimension this server is made for you.

This server is a short event world where the only goal is to hunt down the two owners.
They run around with strong gear and do silly stuff and every player is trying to kill them. There are lootboxes spammed all around spawn and inside any structures so you can gear up fast.
The world border is only 1000 by 1000 so you find people quickly and there is not a lot of hiding. The server is only online when the two owners are online so it feels like a live event every time.
If you just want to jump in and fight and try to take down stacked owners this server is made for that.

I found this server called Realm of Aureus and it feels like a big RPG world inside normal Minecraft. It is a survival server where you still explore and build like vanilla but there is a lot of lore and extra stuff to do.
There are tons of unique items armor tools skills and enchantments made by the server itself. There are also custom bosses and dungeons where you have to use the terrain and figure out boss weaknesses to win cool loot. It sounds hard but also really fun if you like challenges.
The world has a border that slowly expands every Age so new land keeps opening up. That means people can find new places to build over time instead of everything being taken. You can protect your land and build towns then ally with others and even form nations.
There are more than 400 special achievements that go from easy things to really tough goals like rare gear or strong bosses. When you finish them your fame goes up so achievement hunters have a lot to work on.
The server works for both Java and Bedrock using Geyser and they put effort into making the textures and cosmetics match on both. The staff listens to the community and they say they plan new content based on what players ask for. It looks like a long term place where you can stay for a while and keep progressing.
