I found a Hardcore SMP where death is the end. There are no revives and no second chances. The world does not reset so everything that happens stays in the servers history.
The map is huge at 300000 by 300000 blocks. PvP is on everywhere and raiding and griefing are allowed. It feels like you always have to watch your back.
It stays close to vanilla but it has some plugins that fit the hardcore vibe. You can get player heads and you can loot a dead players Ender Chest. It also has Simple Voice Chat and deep stat tracking plus some quality of life stuff.
Over time strong players and groups take land and start wars then eventually they die and leave it all behind. Nothing is scripted so the stories come from the players. This is on version 1.21.11.
NO REVIVES HARDCORE SMP JUST SURVIVE

Stormy Lagoon is a long term SMP that lets Java and Bedrock players play together. The server feels focused on fair progression and it says there is no pay to win since ranks and perks can be earned.
It has custom progression with levelable tools weapons and armor that come with abilities. There are daily missions with three tasks and weekly challenges where everyone competes. You earn Pearls and work toward Pearl milestones then spend Pearls in a shop for perks ranks and cosmetics. You also rank up from playtime.
Gameplay includes mcMMO style skill leveling for stuff like combat mining and fishing. The economy is player driven so you can buy sell and trade. There are activity based rewards like Pearls Diamonds and rank progress.
There are yearly resource worlds so the main world stays cleaner. You can use an RTP menu to hop across five different worlds. Claims help protect builds and PvP is consensual so you can toggle it.

The Anchor is a long term Java Survival server that tries to feel like a place you can leave and come back to and it still feels familiar. The vibe is that it is okay to take a break and people will still welcome you when you return.
It stays close to vanilla and avoids game breaking stuff. There are no constant resets and nothing is meant to change the core Survival experience.
Ranks are based on playtime and not on some weird money farm or crazy player shop setup. The economy is made by the players and there is also an Admin Shop that changes over time.
The server builds around the players who stick around and gives a lot of weight to their feedback as things grow.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLuckyGem Fresh Semi-Vanilla SMP Crossplay

There are also tons of custom advancements so you can track goals and get rewards while you play. You can use cosmetic datapacks to change your look and style. There are staff collectibles too and if you collect five you can move a spawner to your base.

GoblinSMP is a true vanilla survival server where the gameplay stays simple. I saw that it does not use plugins that change how the game works. There are no land claims and nobody is going to hold your hand.
The main rule is no hacking. After that it is all up to the players. You can build anything you want. You can team up with people or start wars or just explore and live far out in the wild.
It feels like a player driven world where the story comes from whatever everyone decides to do next. If you want chaos or community or just pure survival it is your choice.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLifesteal Anarchy On A Permanent World
Custom plugin gameplayFresh 1.21 contentLate game battlesRuthless world fightsUnfiltered community energy
I found a server called MinecraftOffline and it is running on version 1.21.11. It is a lifesteal anarchy type place so fights matter and it can get pretty brutal.
The world is permanent and it says there are no resets. That makes it feel like everything you build or lose actually sticks around.
It also has custom written plugins so the gameplay is not just plain vanilla. The server is based in Finland so it should be good for European players who want low latency.
The hardware looks solid too with NVMe drives ECC memory and a 1 Gbit network so it should be able to handle the chaos.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWipe Season PvP With Timed Unlocks
I found a competitive PvP server that runs in short seasons with full wipes. It is all about timed progression so stuff unlocks later instead of day one chaos.
The Overworld is open right away then the Nether unlocks after a set time and the End unlocks later too. They keep fights more grounded since netherite armor is disabled and End Crystals are not allowed and Respawn Anchors are not allowed. Diamond gear stays the main endgame tier.
PvP is expected and you can make temporary alliances but it sounds like solo players are the ones who really win. Hacked clients and exploit abuse are not allowed and you still have to follow basic conduct rules. Unlock timing announcements happen in the server so you need to pay attention.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermitcraft Style SMP With Proximity Chat
This is a community centered survival server made by players for players. It is going for a Hermitcraft style SMP feel with a diamond based economy.
There is a shopping district plus public builds and bigger projects that people work on together. A lot of players use proximity chat so meeting people feels easy.
The server tries to keep the vanilla experience while still adding some cosmetic and quality of life stuff that the community asks for and votes on. There are homes too.
It is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11. It is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. You can usually find 5 to 20 people online and there are lots of regular active players and groups that want new members.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJoin My New Nation On Eden
faction style warsleadership opportunitieslightly modded survivalNew nation recruitingWorld exploration fun
I found a server called Eden MC and it plays like a nations server. It has a lot of minor mods that make the game feel more interesting.
A player started a new nation named Solutus and they are trying to get it going. Right now they do not have members so they are looking for people who want to join and help build it up.
If you like nation servers and you want a place to play then this one seems like a good spot to jump in and be part of a new group.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThemed Events SMP With Chill Survival
This is a new Minecraft server that runs small themed events that feel like an smp or a civilization style run. The events can be modded or vanilla depending on what is happening.
There is also a long term vanilla world that stays up for players who do not care about events. It is also good for something to do while you wait for the next event.
They want to add a skygrid world later but it is still being worked on. The server is open to everyone and they are also looking for staff.
Builders are needed the most so if you like building this place will probably want you around.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
