Back2Basics SMP is a semi vanilla survival server that tries to feel like normal Minecraft but with a few good tweaks. It started in December 2023 and it has new ownership. The server is focused on fair play and a chill community where griefers are not welcome.
You can play on versions from 1.9 up to 1.21 and they say 1.21 plus is the best way to play. The server has a player driven economy where you can buy sell and trade using in game money. You can earn rewards and cosmetics by playing and voting instead of having to spend real money.
There are some quality of life features. Keep inventory is on so when you die to mobs or players you do not lose your gear. There is a random teleport command so you can find new places to build fast. Land claiming is done with simple commands like claim and claims so you can protect your builds easily without tools.
On weekends there are events like build battles staff hunts and quests. These give in game rewards and make the server feel active. The staff team is online a lot and the community is meant to be friendly for both new and experienced players.
The server focuses on listening to player feedback. Updates are made based on what the community wants so the world feels like it is growing with the players.

Nameless SMP 18+ Chill Vanilla Survival

This is a survival SMP made for people who like to build and talk and just hang out. It is meant for players that care more about cool bases and fun stories than constant PvP.
The server is vanilla style with a few small tweaks like multiplayer sleep to make things smoother. It has a player run shopping area where people can sell stuff and make their own shops. There is also a creative server next to it so members can plan big builds and work together before doing them in survival.
The community is pretty small on purpose. They want around forty players so it still feels like everyone can know each other. It is hosted in North America East but people from anywhere can join if they want.
The server is 18 plus and they do not allow any NSFW at all. Everyone has to use the SimpleVC mod so people can talk together. They do not always ask for ID when you apply but they can ask later if they think someone might not be over 18. The staff read applications carefully and compare them so it helps a lot if you write a good one.

Freelife SMP S2 Anarchy War

This server is called Freelife SMP season 2 and it is basically an anarchy style survival world.
There is a world border that is 6k by 6k so everyone is kind of forced near each other. The whole goal is to kill the strongest player and keep fighting for power.
There is only one mace on the server. Whoever holds it gets a special description on it until they die so it is like a trophy everyone wants. You can make teams as big as you want and try to control the map.
They use some basic plugins like home and pickup and villager stuff but it still feels really chaotic and PvP based. It is all about battles and alliances and backstabbing in a small world.

This is a semi vanilla survival server that feels pretty close to normal Minecraft but with a few changes to make it more fun. It is also kind of semi anarchy so you get a lot of freedom and the world is not getting reset all the time.
The server runs on hard difficulty so mobs actually hurt and you have to be careful. There is no artificial world border so you can explore really far and build bases wherever you want. The nether roof is allowed so travel can be super fast if you know what you are doing.
Sleeping is handled by a rule where only about a quarter of the players online need to sleep to skip the night. There is also a command to turn phantom spawning on or off if you want to deal with them or not. The respawn radius around spawn is bigger so people do not all appear in the exact same spot.
The rules are pretty simple. No hacks or exploits. No lag machines. No duping except for TNT carpet and rails which are allowed. Besides that players are mostly free to play how they want.
The server works for both Java and Bedrock players and it is recommended to use the latest version so you do not run into weird issues. It started in January 2026 and is meant to last for the long term so your builds should be safe from random resets.

This is a small SMP that started as a world for some real life friends. They moved on to other games but the owner did not want to shut it down because the world means a lot.
Now there is a new group of about 5 to 6 active players and they are giving the server new life. The community feels pretty chill and focused on hanging out and building together.
They are looking for more friendly and relaxed players who want to join a close group. If you like small servers and want people to talk to while you build this one fits that idea.
If you want to join you have to contact the owner to get the IP and port.
