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.

Bagel SMP is a semi vanilla survival server with pvp and raiding. It is made for players who want action but still want it to feel like normal Minecraft.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBrutal Geopolitics Survival Where Nations Clash

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.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermitLike Season 2 Crossplay SMP

HermitLike Season Two is a HermitCraft inspired SMP where people just build cool stuff and chill together. It is mainly vanilla with a few plugins for quality of life and moderation so it still feels like old school Minecraft.
The server is on 1.21.11 and it supports crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can all join the same world even on console. It is really new and it started on January 30 so you can get in early before the shopping district and the End get opened.
The rules are simple and it is meant to be peaceful. There is no PVP and no stealing and no griefing. There is also no pay to win and no voting and no crates.
People have made a starting village at spawn that you can join. There is an online live map to see what people are building. Staff are active and the community likes to do events and help new players settle in.
