Long Term Java Bedrock Survival
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGaia Legends Fresh Start Semi Vanilla
I found a server called Gaia Legends and it is super new like about a week old. Even with a low player base it feels really polished and well setup.
It is semi vanilla and it has custom items plus jobs and other extra stuff. The cool part is it is easy to understand and everything feels simple to use in game.
There are crates but it does not feel pay to win. It sounds like you can get the crate stuff just by playing normally.
The owner is really active and seems to care a lot about the server and helping it grow. If you want to join a server from the start this one seems like a good pick.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEverdawn Saga Season 0 Worldbuilding
Everdawn Saga is a Java 1.21.10 server that is still being built up before Season 0 starts. The big idea is that players get to help shape the world early and be part of how it turns out.
It has different chat ranges so you can talk in global or keep it local and even use shout or whisper. It also uses a D&D style dice roller and a stats sheet so roleplay and character moments feel more real.
The theme is medieval and it has a pantheon for lore. Staff are around to help and there are lore masters that can help you build your character before the season begins. Joining is done through an interview.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCLASSIC Survival With No Claims

I found a simple Minecraft SMP that is trying to feel like the old days. It keeps things clean with no spam and no annoying extra features and no required resource packs.
