This is a semi vanilla survival server that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. The main focus is building stuff together and being part of a chill community. Most players are in their early to mid twenties so the vibe is pretty relaxed and mature.
The server runs on hard mode and is updated to 1.21.10. It plays almost fully vanilla with just a few plugins for moderation. There is no teleport system and no land claim that changes how the game works so it still feels like normal Minecraft.
There is a soft world border at around 8k blocks. You can explore past it but that outer area might get reset for new content later. There is also a live dynamic map so you can see builds almost in real time and check out what everyone is making.
They use some datapacks like armor stand tools mob head drops and invisible item frames plus a few others. There are community builds like a shopping mall a campground and different farms where players work together. They also usually run fun events every week so there is always something happening.
The whole place has a laid back low stress atmosphere. It is meant for people who like hanging out joking around and just having fun playing Minecraft with others while slowly building a world together.

The Pen MC is a classic prison server that feels like the old 2014 style. It is barebones and grindy and it wants you to earn everything the slow way.
There is no instasell and you actually smelt ores yourself. To sell you have to move through PVP zones so it feels risky and tense. The rank path goes A to H and then Parole.
After you hit the top you can prestige and you can choose different ways to keep progressing. You can do the mining grind or go for custom fishing for money. You can also fight through a mob arena with boss waves for rewards. There is a bakery style cookie farming system with long term quests and leaderboards.
It also has parole so you can leave prison and build farms. Guards enforce contraband rules and illegal crops are high risk. You can rent cells and plots and use auction house and bounties. There are player shops parkour challenges and solitary confinement. The paid stuff can also be earned in game so it is not just instant OP kits.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPClassic Vanilla SMP Season 3 Revival
I found Eternal Region SMP and it is a Java server on 1.21.11 for ages 16 and up. Season 3 is back and it goes for that classic SMP feel with a long term world.
It plays mostly vanilla with small upgrades. You can run shops do PvE and only do PvP if both sides agree. They also do community events and they even vote on features and choices.
Phantoms are turned off and you get phantom membrane from bats instead. Creepers and endermen cannot mess up your builds. The overworld has a 10k border so the world stays tight.
They support Simple Voice Mod for in game chat. They also use CoreProtect so grief and theft can get handled fast. The server feels rules focused and community first.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBuild a Louisiana Nation on EarthPol
I found a geopolitical roleplay server called EarthPol that uses a 1 to 326 Earth map. Players make nations and do politics and diplomacy with other groups.
There is a nation based on Louisiana and they are trying to grow it. They are building a New Orleans style town with ports and more builds.
They want more players to help found new towns in Louisiana and they can fund it with gold. It sounds like a server for people who like roleplay and building and also arguing in politics.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNightClub SMP 9PM EST Semi Anarchy
I found a new survival server called NightClub SMP and it is semi anarchy so the players kind of run the whole place.
It is not super strict and it feels like a sandbox where alliances betrayals traps raids weird politics and random wars can happen if the right people show up.
Stealing and raiding are allowed but only if the other player is online and knows it is happening. Cheating is not allowed and neither are lag machines or server breaking stuff.
You have to join the Discord to play and the server IP gets posted there when it opens. There is also a daily playtime system and you can earn bonus time.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
