This server is called Bone Voyage MC and it is a pirate themed SMP with RPG style stuff. It is meant to last a long time and the owners already have a year of server time set and plan to add more.
The world is focused on keeping its history. They do not wipe the server so builds and stories stay around. There is a recorded server history so players can see what happened in the past.
The gameplay feels like a nostalgic SMP with a cozy and welcoming community. It is not super hardcore. It has RPG progression with custom items and dungeons that are being made. There are over 200 new enchantments so you can do crazy things like learn to fly.
There is also an improved skyblock mode that is linked with progression so it connects to the rest of what you do. The server uses custom configurations and plugins to make everything feel unique.
The server is not pay to win. It only has cosmetics and quality of life things so players who do not pay can still keep up. There is already a lot of content and they say there is more than enough planned for the next year.
Overall it feels like a chill pirate themed SMP RPG world where your builds matter and the story of the server keeps growing over time.

Chill No Grief Towny SMP Home
I found a small Towny and SMP server that feels really friendly and calm. The big rule is no griefing and no stealing so you can build without stress. They also say there are no resets ever so your stuff can stay for good.
It is chill but still kind of competitive in a casual way. The community is welcoming and people are around in AU EU and US timezones. At peak times they can get over 20 players so it does not feel empty.
It has Towny so you can build claim land and grow a town. There are jobs plus MCMMO and an in game ranking system. You also get dynmap and player warps with player shops and a sell only server shop. It runs on 1.21.x and it also works for Bedrock players.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Custom Hand Built SMP
Community Feedback Drivenearn while playingfluid grief controlVanilla Plus Survivalweekly development updates
EchelonMC is a hand built survival server that was made from scratch and kept in active development. It is hosted in Canada and it has had about two months of work put into it so far. The owner builds it around player suggestions and over 100 of those ideas are already in.
This server is for long term building and real progression. It is not pay to win and the world is not planned to reset. It also is not trying to be a recycled server with copy paste systems.
There are custom coded systems like a currency you earn by just playing. Mining farming fishing exploring and building all help you earn it and you can spend it on progression and quality of life stuff.
Land claiming is a big deal here with visual borders and lots of settings. It can help stop raids and protect builds with controls for TNT creepers fire fluids and even mob spawning. You can also do things like chunk settings claim decay and claim bundling for big projects.
You can make teams and use private team chat. You can also list public builds so other players can visit and vote. Graves are included too so your items are protected for a limited time with balanced recovery.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTrue Vanilla Survival SMP No Teleports
Minecraft Vanilla is a survival SMP that tries really hard to stay like classic Minecraft. It is about building and surviving with other players and letting the world get shaped by what people actually do.
There are no teleports so you will not see /home or /tpa. There are no kits and no perks and no scripted towns. There are also no land claims so the server uses CoreProtect to track griefing and they say punishments are strict.
You can use optional proximity voice chat with Simple Voice Chat. Players can make their own clans villages and cities without a plugin running everything.
The server is EU based. To join you link your account with /link then send the code to their bot and request whitelist access then answer a few questions.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKlawcraft SMP Magic Survival Starts Tomorrow
I found a smaller SMP called Klawcraft and it is not super popular.
It is a survival server with magic stuff and it seems pretty cool.
It is starting tomorrow so it sounds like a fresh start if you want to jump in early.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCROWN SMP DAY ONE SURVIVAL LAUNCH
Crown SMP is a fresh survival SMP that opens on March 20th and everyone starts at the same time. It already has a big Discord group and people ready to play on day one.
The server stays close to vanilla survival but it has a custom Crown plugin. If you wear the Crown you get 3 extra hearts and there are only 5 maces total on the whole server so finding rare stuff matters.
It supports both Java and Bedrock so more friends can join together. There is anti cheat and anti xray to keep things fair and the world border is 10000 by 10000 so you have room to explore.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
