Campfire SMP is a small semi vanilla server for players who are 18 or older and want a place to stay for a long time. The world is not made to reset all the time so people can build big bases and projects and know they will last.
The server runs Purpur 1.21.9 and is up all the time on strong hardware. It has a 20k by 20k world border so there is still a lot to explore and it will grow when big updates come out. There is no tpa or home so travel feels like real survival.
There are some plugins and datapacks that help with quality of life and admin stuff while keeping the game close to normal Minecraft. Things like a map plugin simple voice chat protection tools art maps image frames and some fun datapacks like mini blocks and player heads.
Even though the server is new it already has a shopping district with a diamond based economy nether highways a battle arena and a mini games area. People work together on community projects and hang out a lot in voice chat to build play other games or just talk.
Most players are in their 20s and some are older so the vibe is more mature but still relaxed. The server is whitelisted and meant for people who want a long term home in survival and who respect other players builds and the community.

I found a vanilla server that has a hard world and it has been up for about a month. The main vibe is people building and playing together with no drama.
They ran a server event where a bunch of members got on at the same time to fight some super tough dragons with like 20k HP. It sounds like everyone had a good time and it actually brought the regulars out.

I found Malgazar SMP and it is a chill survival server where people are not supposed to ruin your builds. The community is pretty active and it is mostly friendly even if there are a few toxic people sometimes.
It is hosted in the UK and it runs on Purpur. It is for official Minecraft launchers only so no cracked clients.
The rules are focused on being safe and fair. No griefing no stealing no scamming no slurs no drama and no cheats like x ray or seed maps. PvP is only if both people agree and you also cannot mess with other peoples pets or animals. If you break rules you can get locked in a cage for some time or get banned.
Keep inventory is on and explosions do not destroy blocks. There is veinminer and mcMMO rankings for stuff like mining and sword. Fishing loot is boosted with tiny chances for rare items. The world border is set to 15k and the outer End islands reset every week. There is also a mod that can undo grief fast and show who touched a block.

I found FallenSMP and it is a 1.21.11 Java survival server that lets cracked players join too.
The server is up 24 7 and the owner says an alt keeps it running so it should not shut down in the middle of a big fight.
There are basically no rules except no hacking. It is mostly vanilla with voice chat and a few other plugins.
The main thing is the seasons system. Each season the first person to kill everyone at least once then kill the Ender Dragon and get the egg gets a prize. They can pick items with limits on enchants or they can take a 5 minute head start next season.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
