So this server is called Broomstix and it is an SMP that also lets you be creative with builds. It runs the newest version and it works for both Java and Bedrock so you can play with friends even if they are on different devices.
The difficulty is set to hard so mobs actually hurt and you kind of have to try if you want to survive. There are custom enchantments that make gear feel special and you can even put a lead on mobs so they teleport with you which is super helpful.
On Sundays you get free fly in the overworld so it is way easier to explore and build cool stuff. The server has land claiming using ProtectionStones so people cannot just grief your base. There is no grief allowed and the main PvP arena has keep inventory so you can fight without losing everything.
There is a bartering style economy with server shops and a public market plus some tutorial warps to help new players figure stuff out. You can use random teleport in the overworld to find new spots and there are commands like homes sethome tpa and private messaging to move around and talk quickly.
The staff seem really responsive and they even offer homework help on their Discord which is kind of funny but also nice if you are stuck on something. The server also links Minecraft chat with Discord so you can still hang out with the community even when you are not in game.

Join Rai Nations Session Adventures
Rai Nations is a session based nation server where people hop on for set times and go on adventures together. It usually hits 20 plus players at peak and there is room to set up your own nation.
The sessions are scheduled in EST on Wednesday Friday Saturday and Sunday so it works great if you want a second home server without spending your whole week grinding. The staff is friendly and helps you out and the server runs plot points and events.
There is a merchants village where you buy and sell items instead of doing villager trading. The economy uses Credits for most things like materials and enchants. There is also Rai Kurrency that is rarer and you can find it daily in chests and it is used for heavier stuff like Netherite enchants.
There is also lore with Unknown Fragments which are five beings that split from the original Unknown. They can cause wacky shenanigans and it ties back to season one where the server barely defeated Unknown and the fragments scattered.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP6b6t Cross Platform Anarchy No Queue

I found 1fighter2defenders and it is a survival server that tries to stay as vanilla as possible.
It has no gameplay rules at all. There are no admins. There are no land claims and no protection. Griefing building and cheating are all allowed so you kind of have to watch your back.
They also say there are no server sided dupes and no world resets. The server started in April 2021 so it has been around for over 4.5 years with lots of people joining at least once.
It runs on 1.21 and it lets you join on 1.17 through 1.21.11.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJOIN THE SCRIPTED MINECRAFT STORY
I found a scripted Minecraft server that is trying to build a story with people playing different roles.
The server is still small right now so they are looking for more members. They want some people who can record and some people who want main roles too.
They also need players to help make civilizations and run events. If you join early you can try to grab main roles or side roles while there is space.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMushroomSMP Semi Vanilla 18+ Adventure
MushroomSMP is a small Java SMP that just launched on Sunday 21/12/25 and it is based in the UK. It runs on 1.21.11 and it is for players who are 18+.
It is semi vanilla so it still feels like normal Minecraft but it uses some essential plugins to help the server run smooth. There is no world border so you can explore as far as you want.
They added ingame voice chat and there is no pressure to use it. The server also does community events like working on a shopping district buildathons and a weekly lottery.
It is whitelisted so it is meant to stay safe and chill. They also have a Bluemap with markers you can set using signs so it is easier to find places.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
