This is a community focused roleplay server with a dark academia vibe. It is made for players who want a calm place that feels inspired by literature and art and real life teachings.
The main idea is academy roleplay where you can learn real subjects while you play. People can also work toward becoming a teacher later on.
It is Java and it is modded. The server is whitelist only and it aims to stay organized and friendly with roleplay and structured discussion.
FabricCraft is a vanilla semi anarchy survival server that runs on Fabric so the mechanics feel real and normal. Farms and redstone builds are supposed to work the way you expect and this server tries to keep it that way.
There are no land claims and there are no world resets so the world stays persistent. That makes it more player driven with alliances trade rivalries and raids.
It has minimal rules and a lot of freedom but it still blocks hacked clients or mods that give you an advantage. Griefing is not allowed within 1k of spawn and it gets handled by active moderation instead of claim plugins.
There is also a creative world with no plot limits and no space restrictions so people can test builds before doing them in survival. If you like speedrunning there is a manhunt gamemode too. Simple voice chat is available for the server.
Velmora is a dark fantasy SMP that feels like survival with rules and direction. It is built around progression kingdoms and player made lore so it does not turn into random chaos.
Players pick a power path through academies. There is a magic path a hero path and a demon path. Each one changes your progression and abilities and how people see you in the world.
The world has three continents with different vibes and there are 11 kingdoms total. You can join a kingdom lead one or betray one if you want.
If you do not want politics you can be an adventurer with guild quests dungeons bosses player bounties rare relic loot and a renown system. You can also build a village live outside kingdom borders make trade hubs and stay independent.
It supports Java and Bedrock and it has PvP custom items and relics plus player driven story arcs. The server is in active development.
StarBorne is a sci fi story driven survival SMP that you can join with crossplay. The lore is about Earth falling apart from wars and chaos then survivors get moved to a new Earth like planet called Alpha Centauri.

The world is made to be survival friendly and inspiring. It also has custom music that helps you feel like you are really on a new planet.
There is a big mall called Arcadia and you can use the shop command to visit it. If you join while it is still new you get the Pioneer rank forever for free.
Aggroculture is a brand new semi vanilla survival server where farming and pvp actually matter. It has a crop based economy so you can grind fields and use that to keep up with everyone else.
The world is custom generated and has a 5k world border so players run into each other more. Raiding and griefing are allowed and there are no land claims so you have to build smart and stay alert.
Progression is skill based and the enchants are random. Enchanting is like the older 1.2 style where the table takes all the levels it shows. There is pvp and end crystals are not allowed.
There are no sethomes and no tpa so travel is real. Villager trading is disabled too. It supports Bedrock crossplay and it runs on 1.21.11.
I found a freshly started Minecraft server running 1.19.2 with the Origins mod and a small vanilla plus modpack.
It is whitelist on so it feels more private and more chill. They are aiming for a small tightly knit community where everyone can fit in.
The server started last week and they say everybody is welcome.
This server is basically vanilla anarchy with minimal rules and a lot of freedom. It has been running for almost a year so it feels like a real long term place.
It supports Java and Bedrock and you can also get in from consoles like Switch and Xbox and PlayStation. Java works from 1.13 to 1.21.x and it recommends 1.21.11.
The big thing is it is no hack. Cheating and xray even with resource packs are not allowed. You also cannot exploit server vulnerabilities crash the server or lag it on purpose. Macros and automation tools are banned too and chat spam gets you auto kicked.
SableCraft is a small semi vanilla SMP that is trying to be long term. It is made for people who want a world that does not keep resetting all the time.
The vibe is chill and respectful. Builders casual players and creators are all welcome and the goal is a tight group that sticks around.
It is not pay to win and it is not anarchy. They also want no drama and they want the community to help shape what the server becomes from day 1.
The server is opening up with Season 1 player applications and there are optional staff applications too. Launch is coming soon.
This is basically a place to link up with a long time Minecraft developer who builds custom plugins and datapacks. The vibe is if you can explain an idea they can turn it into a working feature.
They work on stuff like survival, skyblock, lifesteal, prison, SMP, and minigames. They also make those viral style challenges and events you see in short videos.
They also build Discord bots with lots of features and integrations. They say pricing depends on the scope and they keep communication going while they work and they are open to revisions.
They are also looking for friends to talk and game with and they are into making music too.
CaliCraft is a player run Minecraft server where the community shapes what happens. Every two weeks players elect an Emperor and that person can actually change the server. They can add or remove plugins across any gamemode make laws and even imprison people including staff.
If you get marked as a fugitive you can end up spawning in prison when you die. You can also get dragged in handcuffs if you get caught. The Emperor has to follow a Constitution but they can make temporary laws during their reign. Some laws can become permanent through a 3 day Discord poll.
There is a lobby first and it helps you jump into different gamemodes fast. The server supports versions 1.17.1 to 1.21.10 and it supports both Java and Bedrock.
The gamemodes include Modded Survival with custom enchantments skills jobs an auction house an economy custom dungeons and vote crates with epic gear. It is a claim world with a kingdom run by the Emperor. There is also Vanilla Survival with quests chest sorting and daily rewards. Skyblock is here too with classic islands and some addons.
There is also a Cobblemon mode on a separate Fabric server so you need the Cobblemon modpack installed. The server has a custom resource pack with unique mobs animals elites and dungeon bosses with special drops so it does not feel like plain vanilla.
