This is a hardcore plus survival server that feels almost like classic vanilla but with a twist. Every time you die you lose one heart and you can go all the way down to three hearts. To get your hearts back you have to craft a heart crystal using an echo shard and a diamond block. This can even push you over the normal ten hearts and up to twenty hearts but the extra hearts are temporary and get removed when you take damage.
The world has real danger because there are no teleport commands and all block damage is enabled like fire spread and creeper explosions. Stealing and griefing are not allowed though so it is not an anarchy server. You still have to respect other players builds and items.
The server started as a close knit vanilla SMP community that has been around for years and players sometimes compare it to hermitcraft. There are regular events every weekend and mayor elections every month so the world feels alive. There is also an optional cozy modded server and another hardcore server you can try if you want more.
It runs on a dedicated machine with no lag and it has vanilla gameplay with some quality of life plugins like stats leaderboards sleep tweaks heads and armor stand tools. There is an active discord and text chat connects between discord and the game. There is also optional proximity voice chat if you want to talk to people nearby in game. The map was reset on August 10th 2025 so the world is still fresh.
Chill Whitelisted Vanilla SMP 1.21.3

I found a chill vanilla survival server that is whitelisted and made for a small community. It feels relaxed and casual and it is meant to be a place to build explore and hang out.
They keep rules pretty light and they do not want people griefing builds. PvP is allowed though so you can fight if you want to.
It runs on 1.21.3 and it has a few tiny quality of life plugins. The world border is set to 10k for now and the server is hosted in Germany. All ages can join and they may add new features later if the community wants it.

PeaMC is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to feel like classic Minecraft survival. There are no teleports and there are no land claims so you travel the world the normal way and build where you want.
It is whitelisted so people have to apply which helps keep trolls out. The owner and mods are active in game and in Discord and the community is meant to be chill.
The server supports crossplay for Java and Bedrock from 1.7x to 1.21.11. You can form teams and invite friends. PvP is allowed but griefing and stealing from bases is not allowed and spawn killing is not allowed.
There is newbie protection where PvP is off for your first hour unless you disable it. Some destructive PvP stuff is banned like TNT beds respawn anchors end crystals and minecart PvP and maces are banned too. There are a few minor plugins but they are meant to keep the vanilla feel.

I found a server group called Toxic Network and it is running two modpacks right now. One is Prominence II and the other is FTB StoneBlock 4.
The servers are very new and they want to open more servers later. They host from the EU but they say US players should still feel almost no lag difference.
Prominence II is on version 3.9.17 and StoneBlock 4 is on version 1.8.0.

LegionCraft is a OneBlock server where you start on your island and grind to grow it bigger.
The big thing here is the challenging bosses. When you beat them they drop keys and you can use those for rare loot.
There are crates with epic gear and rewards so you always have something to chase.
It also has chunk hoppers so you can automate your island and focus more on building fighting and looting. The server says it is no pay to win.
