This server is called DeadMan's Land and it is all about classic factions and survival. When I joined it felt like everything is about being strong or getting taken out.
You can make a faction and team up with other players. You build your own base and try to grow your empire. Other players will try to raid you and you can raid them too.
The server focuses on balanced pvp and custom events. It really feels like kill or be killed and every fight matters a lot.
If you like forming alliances then betraying enemies and fighting for land this server is made for that kind of gameplay.

Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy server that tries to stay close to vanilla Minecraft. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it runs all the time on a machine in New York City.
You can join with pretty much any Java version from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. The owner suggests using 1.21.10 so things work better. The world border is set at 2 million blocks so there is a lot of space to travel and hide.
The server allows griefing and pvp and there are no map resets. There is no pay to win at all and there is no teleporting except for the simple spawn command. This means you actually have to travel but you can still get back to spawn if you went way too far. Nether roof travel is allowed. Phantoms are disabled and only half the players online are needed to skip the night.
The rules are very light but they still exist. Exploits are not allowed and you cannot build lag machines or use duping. Spamming in chat is not allowed and you also cannot use harassment or racial slurs. So you get a rough survival world but without totally toxic chat or game breaking bugs.
Overall it feels like a pure survival world with lots of chaos and freedom where everything you build is at risk and nothing gets reset.

Taerel Network is a dark fantasy survival world that is looking for serious builders. It is all about making a big lobby hub and a detailed spawn that feels gothic or high medieval fantasy. The server is modded and runs on Fabric but you build on a dedicated workshop server so you can focus on the project.
From what I see this is not a casual place for random small builds. They want a small team that can handle huge structures terrain shaping paths portals and interiors. The style is very specific and they really want high detail so it is not meant for beginners.
The project is unpaid and is more of a passion thing. In return you can get full credit for your work and you are allowed to use what you build in your portfolio. If you enjoy long projects and like dark fantasy themes this seems like a good fit.
They want people who can show screenshots of past builds and who are ready to work over several weeks. If that sounds like you then this server is clearly focused on giving builders a place to create something big and mysterious.

Davidscloud is a survival server that feels like a long term world where people actually stick around. It has been running since older versions and is made for players who want a fair survival experience with no pay to win stuff.
The server focuses on keeping your builds safe. You start with claim blocks so you can protect your base and you earn more blocks just by playing. There are active and friendly admins who help out and griefing is not really a thing here because of the claim system.
There are a bunch of quality of life features that do not break the game. You can use a banking system that gives interest and there is a survival spawn market with merchants that sell useful items like potions fish and wood. Everything is earned through gameplay instead of buying advantages.
You can explore more than one world too. There is a main survival world and also an amplified world with crazy terrain and big caves that you can reach from an NPC at spawn. There are also new worlds planned like an event world and a creative plot world with a hub to move between them.
The server supports both Java and Bedrock so people on computer console and mobile can all play together. It is aimed at builders explorers and casual players who want a friendly community and a survival server that is not going anywhere soon.

Gallant SMP is a semi vanilla world run by a group of friends who have played Minecraft together for over ten years. Everyone here is around their late twenties or thirties so they set the age to 25 plus and want players who are in a similar stage of life.
The server tries really hard to protect your time and builds. You can lock your chests with signs. Ores can be vein mined while sneaking so mining feels faster. Creepers do not blow up blocks and phantoms do not spawn at all. Minecarts move faster when a player is riding them so travel feels better.
There are some nice quality of life toggles like auto swapping to the best tool and auto refilling your hand while you build. All actions are logged and can be undone if grief happens. Inventories have backups when you die outside of normal stuff so accidents or weird issues are less painful.
Rules are simple. No griefing or stealing and no hacking. General quality of life mods are allowed. You have to treat everyone kindly and PvP only happens when all players agree.
To join you have to get whitelisted first so the world stays safe and chill for the mature community.
