I found KingdomsMC and it is a world building roleplay SMP where players can make their own kingdoms and shape the server history.
You can found towns and grow into nations. You can do diplomacy and trade with other groups. People can form alliances or try to gain power through influence.
It has custom plugins with player made items plus roleplay mechanics and advanced building tools. There are quests and server lore with events that can change what is going on in the world.
The world is meant to stick around so you can explore old town ruins and find mysterious artifacts. It also supports both Java and Bedrock and it says 1.21+.
The community is described as welcoming and focused on creativity for roleplayers builders and explorers.

True Vanilla Hardcore SMP Huge World
I found a true vanilla hardcore SMP with a smaller community and it sticks to the game how it was meant to be. There are no ranks and no pay to win and no extra commands outside the normal vanilla ones.
When you spawn you get a few starter items plus invis and regen so you can get away from the spawn area. If you die you get banned for a temporary time and if you run out of lives you are banned for the rest of the season so you have to play careful.
The server is online 24 7 and it has a massive 80k by 80k world border so there is still lots of space and loot to find. It also supports multiple versions and has crossplay so different players can join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP20 Minutes A Day Whitelist SMP
fair play focusFresh World StartLimited session challengeSleep schedule friendlyWhitelisted Survival Server
I found a brand new whitelisted SMP where you only get 20 minutes of play time each real life day. It makes every choice feel important and it keeps the world from turning into a grind fest.
The economy is trust based and diamonds are the main money. The server uses FabricMC so it stays as close to vanilla as possible.

This server is ultra hardcore so you get one life and you do not heal naturally. The whole goal is to stay alive and stack points while you play.
Points are simple you get one point per minute you survive and one point per experience point you earn. Even mobs can be worth points and big stuff like the dragon is worth a ton.
If you die you are not totally done because you can earn a revive by winning the weekly Sunday competition. There is also a special team competition on Sundays at 11CT and prizes can include a revive or an in game advancement shout out.
You start in a spawn ship until you are ready to enter the world. If you hold a bone block you can see the top scoring players.
The rules are about being fair and friendly and not using hacks or xray or client mods that give unfair advantages.
The Apocalypse DataPack makes the world way scarier like zombies can turn players into zombies and some skeletons get enhanced. Bats can bite and morph and spiders can spin webs and there are more wild threats like the Litch Herobrine and Medusa in the Nether.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Lifesteal Server Seeking Active Players
I found a brand new lifesteal server that is getting ready to open.
They are trying to pull in active members so they can launch it and build a thriving community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMech Rehabilitated Modded Adventure Grind
Mech Rehabilitated is a modded server with a small friendly active community. It feels like a good place to hop on after classes or work and just chill.
The whole point is exploration and looting big structures then fighting bosses and getting stronger. If you are more of a peaceful player you can farm and cook a ton too since the pack has lots of food recipes.
It runs a huge modpack with 300 plus mods and it also has around 600 quests to follow. There is a coin shop and the server uses a whitelist so you fill out a short form to join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
