Bone Voyage is a pirate themed SMP RPG server that has been growing a lot in just one month. The spawn started as a medieval style base with big stone walls and a closed in layout. Now it is completely changed into a pirate outpost with custom terraforming open paths and tons of little details.
When you join it feels like you just landed in a busy pirate harbor. There is a market docks sea clutter and even a tutorial ship. The spawn redesign only took around 30 days and you can really tell the staff cares about the look and feel of the world.
The server is all about a nostalgic style of SMP mixed with RPG vibes. There is an improved skyblock mode that links into your main progression. The server has custom configurations and plugins but it still keeps that classic survival feeling.
The community is cozy and welcoming and the dev team is active and listens to players. They promise at least a full year of uptime and plan to keep it going for many more years. They host frequent content updates and community events so it does not die after a couple weeks.
The server is not pay to win. Any cosmetics are only for looks and do not give power. There is also a recorded history of the server so it feels like you are part of a story that keeps growing.
Exodus Geopolitics Semi Vanilla Survival

Exodus is a semi vanilla survival server that is mostly about geopolitics not roleplay. The world is only 5000 by 5000 so stuff runs out and people have to trade more.
You do not have to be good at PvP. You can focus on building or politics instead and still have a good time.
The rules are simple and strict. No griefing no duping and no x ray. The end and nether are closed. Farms have to be hidden and there are rules meant to make PvP better.

book style storytellinggrind friendly survivalnpc interaction focussocial gameplay requiredteen and adult
This server feels like it is trying to be a Witcher style adventure but in Minecraft. The owner spent about 2.5 months making lore and there is an ongoing book with 7 chapters that are around 2000 words each.
It is the owners first server and it starts on 11 or 12 Feb. The server has both pvp and non pvp roles and both matter. Builders seem a little more important but fighters can build too.
Community is a big deal here and players are expected to interact. Your choices can change the world lore in real ways and it is not just a tiny line of text. There are NPCs too and if you ignore the lore you can accidentally make one angry.
The age limit is 15 plus and the rules and etiquette are taken seriously. The server uses minimal plugins and leans more on hard work and custom ideas. You can play casual or you can grind and try to beat the nether dungeon.

The goal is to go through every official server version including snapshots and the april fools stuff so it feels like a long Minecraft time trip.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTwo Team Regions War SMP

RegionsSMP is a seasonal survival server that is still in alpha. It is a work in progress and stuff is being tweaked so it is not the final product.
Players get split into two teams and you pick a side. Then both teams fight over regions across the map over about a month. When you claim a region it gets protected from the other team unless they own a region right next to it. That makes a lot of back and forth fights and a big warzone feeling.
The server owner treats it like a passion project and wants to improve each season. It is war and PvP centric but they also want room for different play styles. Custom builds can be carried into new wars as protected builds and new features and changes are expected often.
