I found a survival server that goes hard on world building and geopolitics. Players make nations and the whole world is about diplomacy war economy and just staying alive.
It runs on 1.21.11 and it lets people join on different versions with ViaBackward. The world starts at 5000 by 5000 and it can expand when more players show up.
Travel is a big deal because there are no elytras. There are also no villagers so you cannot just trade forever. Crafting is tougher with custom recipes and netherite is 1 to 1 so it is not free.
Claims and borders are handled with a lands system so nations can hold territory. Roads and rails matter too since you move faster on proper roads and minecarts go way faster on powered rails.
There is a grindstone rework that lets you pull enchantments off and turn them into books. Farming and fishing are reworked so food and loot take more planning. You can also silk touch spawners and move them which changes defense and farming a lot.
The rarest thing is the mace since only ten exist on the whole server and each player can only craft one. Enchantments on it are restricted so it stays balanced and feels like a real legendary item.

Cozy Crossplay Chill Survival SMP
I found a cozy survival SMP that lets people play together on Java and Bedrock. It supports Java 1.9 to 1.21.11 and it is crossplay.
The world is a little progressed but it still feels early. The most active time is usually GMT-6 afternoons.
They want a few chill long term players who like to build and chat and help grow a small community. They are not planning resets so it is more about relaxed survival vibes.
You have to join their Discord to read the rules before you play.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad PVP With Weekly Events

I found a server listing that is really more about a game server hosting company run by one person. They took feedback and dropped prices on some of the bigger plans.
They say every plan still has DDoS protection NVMe storage daily backups and full panel access. They also say there are no contracts and you can cancel anytime.
They seem pretty open to feedback and they want people to tell them if the pricing still feels off.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew Dawn SMP Season Finale Rush
