This server is called CaféCraft and it is a custom modded SMP that feels really cozy. It is made by a small dev team that actually plays on it and they focus on exploration and progression instead of rushing to the end.
The world is meant to last a long time so it is not one of those servers that reset every month. They have a hand picked modpack with original advancements and some light lore that makes it feel like you are actually living in the world.
The community goal is to stay small but active and they want people who like to build explore and tinker. The vibe is friendly and collaborative and they do not run pay to win stuff so progression feels fair.
They say the modpack is pretty big but also optimized. For good performance they recommend a computer with at least 16 GB of RAM.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOrigin SMP Tier PvP Semi-Anarchy Season

Origin SMP is a survival multiplayer server with a new season started and it runs on 1.21 for Java and Bedrock.
It is story driven and it feels more serious than pure anarchy. The big thing is the tier system with PvP progression. You can gain tiers by killing players and you lose tiers when you die so fights actually matter.
It also has proximity voice chat so you can talk to people right in game. There are no land claims so the world is shaped by trust and politics.
The map is finite at 2500 by 2500 blocks so you run into people a lot. It is semi anarchy so anarchy is allowed but random griefing with no story or purpose can get rolled back to protect long term SMP stuff. The community is friendly and active daily.

Legendary Hardcore is a hardcore SMP where death means you are out for good. There are no map resets and there are no revives so every risk feels serious. A lot of players have joined over its first year and tons have died trying to survive.
It stays completely vanilla but uses plugins to make hardcore more interesting. You can get player heads and you can access dead players ender chests. It also has Simple Voicechat and advanced player statistic tracking plus more.
The world feels like a real story because everything is player led and not scripted. People make bases and alliances then it all can fall apart when someone dies. There is even a player maintained wiki that tracks the history and a page for every player who joined lived and died.
They also have an interactive map of the spawn region that shows changes over time. It supports 1.21.11 on Java Edition and Bedrock Edition.
