This server is called SurviveWithUs and it is a semi vanilla SMP. It tries to keep the normal Minecraft feeling but still adds stuff that makes life easier. They do not use things like MCMMO and they focus on fun quality of life changes instead of changing the whole game.
The community is small but really close. Some of the players have known each other since 2019 and they rebuilt the server after it was abandoned. A lot of the plugins are custom made so the owners can add things that the players ask for. There is a place where players can suggest ideas and everyone can be part of big decisions.
The server is fully against pay to win. You do not need to spend any money to get anything important. You also do not need to vote to rank up. Instead there is a custom system where you just level up by playing. Voting only gives a small thank you reward and is not needed to progress.
Overall it feels like an old school community server where the staff is actually around and the goal is to have a friendly and chill place to play survival.
This server is called Closebound and it feels like a calm little home for adults who really like Minecraft. It is a vanilla plus style place so it still looks and plays like normal Minecraft but with a few small extra touches.
The server is all about trust and chill vibes. There are no anti grief plugins so players basically protect the world by being honest and respectful. They want people who care about integrity and are not there to ruin stuff. It is not a huge server. They only want around twenty people so everyone actually knows each other.
The world grows slowly on purpose. They delay the endgame so people can enjoy trading and building together before anyone rushes to fight the dragon. You can tell they want long term builds and a shared history not just speed running.
The community is international with people from different countries so the world changes at all hours. There are busy days and quiet days but the staff says the server is meant to be a permanent home where you can log in and keep working on something that lasts.
If you like low stress survival and you want a small stable group to build with this server seems like a good fit.
MinedHype SMP is a chill public survival server that has been running for years. It is mostly vanilla so it feels like normal Minecraft but on a big world with other players.
There is no pay to win and there is no money plugin. You protect your stuff using land claims and grief is only allowed if the area is not claimed. CoreProtect is used so the staff can see what happened if something goes wrong.
The server runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 and supports both Java and Bedrock in the same world. There is no whitelist so you can just join and start playing. The overworld and nether are long term and are not planned to reset which is awesome if you like building big bases.
You spawn randomly inside a big area and you can use rtp to teleport even farther to find a good spot then set a home. There is also a public shopping district that anyone can apply to build in so players can trade using their own system.
The server has an online map you can view and there are free events with prizes. Chat reports are disabled and the rules and extra info are on their website so you can read everything before you join.
Paragon SMP is a small vanilla Java server that uses simple voice chat and nothing else. It feels like classic Minecraft but you can actually talk to people nearby. The world is 20k by 20k so there is a ton of space to explore and build.
Keep inventory is off so dying really matters here. You have to be careful when you go mining or exploring. People can build secret bases with their teams and then go up against other groups. Griefing is allowed but it is supposed to be more about stealing and small damage not blowing everything to bits.
The end is not open yet. It will be opened later so everyone can do a big end fight together. The server is whitelisted and has 20 player slots so it stays pretty tight and not super crowded. Right now it has 2 members.
The server runs on version 1.21.11. The community is LGBTQ friendly so it feels safe and welcoming for different people. Spawn is kind of bad but that almost makes it funny and you just run off to make your own place anyway.
EMBERLINE SMP is a small survival server that only wants 20 players total. The owner is tired of huge servers with like a hundred people and also tired of servers that never even start.
This server is mostly vanilla but it does have proximity chat. There is a tutorial for how to install that in the discord so everyone can talk in game by distance. It also has one player sleep so nights go by fast and it has player head drops for extra fun and trophies.
The plan is to start the world as soon as the discord hits 20 people. That will be the full player list so it will feel like a tight group instead of a giant random crowd. You join the discord and send in an application if you want to be part of it.
If you like simple survival and you want a server that actually starts and does not get flooded with players this one is trying to be that kind of place.
