This server is all about a cool tower defense game inside Minecraft. It is not only tower defense but that is the main thing and it feels super thought out and really hard if you want a challenge.
You play on 3D maps where monsters walk along a path and you place towers to stop them from getting to the exit. There are 25 preset waves so it is the same pattern every time. That means you can learn the rounds and not get ruined by random luck.
There are 15 different towers and they all do different stuff like splash damage fire slowing freezing confusion poison farming and more. The towers have a grid style upgrade system. You only get 9 upgrades to spend but towers have way more choices so you need to plan which path you want to use. You also get different targeting options so you can control how they shoot.
Each map has 5 difficulty modes from super easy beginner to expert. Expert is so hard that even the owner has not beaten most maps on it yet so it is really for people who want a serious challenge. After you win you can turn on freeplay mode and keep going with ramping waves if you want to push your limits.
The whole setup feels like Bloons TD or Plants Vs Zombies but made for Minecraft. If you like strategy and trying new tower builds and beating hard waves this server is actually really fun.

Origin SMP Tier PvP Semi Anarchy
Origin SMP is a survival multiplayer server with a new season running right now. It supports version 1.21 and it works on both Java and Bedrock so more people can play together.
This place is built around a Tier system that makes PvP feel serious. If you kill players you gain Tiers and if you die you lose Tiers so every fight matters.
It also has proximity voice chat so you can talk to people right next to you. The server is semi anarchy with no land claims so trust and politics shape everything.
The world is finite at 2500 by 2500 blocks so you run into people a lot. Anarchy stuff is allowed but random griefing with no story gets rolled back so the long term SMP story can keep going.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPV+ Vanilla SMP Starts Soon
I found a server called V+ SMP and it is like vanilla but expanded so it still feels normal to play. You can join with a normal Minecraft install so it stays simple.
It has improved vanilla style features and a bunch of quality of life changes. The main vibe is geo political towns and nations where people can team up and do diplomacy and stuff.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLong Term Nations PVP Worldbuilding SMP
I found an SMP that is all about world building made by the players. People can build towns and turn them into nations and the map is shaped by whatever everyone decides to do.
You can PvP if you want and there is lots of room for drama with alliances and betrayals. The vibe is controlled chaos with no scripts so the stories come from real players.
They want more active players especially from the Asia region but anyone can join. It is meant to be long term with years of development and story telling and they also say there will be no resets.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRuby Civ Crossplay Chill Civilization Server
Ruby Civ is a new Minecraft server that has been up for about a week. It has around 20 active players so it feels busy but still easy to know people.
The whole point is civ style play where you can create your own civilization or join one that already exists. Most people are here to build and chill and just have a good time.
The admins and the community seem really nice. The owner is also proud of the anticheat so it feels protected from weird stuff.
