I found a private Minecraft server that is built around a player collar mod where people can be leashed. It is pretty weird on purpose and the whole point is to have more players around so it feels more fun.
They said there is a deficit of pet owners right now so you can join even if you do not want to wear a collar. To get in you have to apply in their Discord so you can be whitelisted.
They also do backups one to two times a week so griefing is a waste of time here.
I found a new SMP called God SMP and it is all about lifesteal fights and chasing the god sword and the god trident.
It feels like a big race where everyone wants the god weapons first so they can take over and rule the server.
The rules are simple. No hacking. No xray. No duping except string dupers. Also teams cannot use both the god sword and the god trident at the same time.
The server opens in 2 hours so it sounds like a fresh start where people will fight fast for control.

The rules are super focused on keeping stuff fair. No griefing no stealing no scams no slurs no x ray no cheats and no seed maps.

This is a small cross play SMP that is modded but still feels like Minecraft. The owner made it because they were tired of servers with pay stuff like ranks and crates and gambling and economy grinds.
The mods are hand picked and they are server side only so you do not need to download anything. The goal is a unique experience that still keeps the normal gameplay loop and adds a real endgame. World generation is improved and there are quality of life changes plus smaller mods you can mostly ignore if you want.
The community is small but has an active Discord with people who keep hanging out. The mod team and core players are known for being helpful.
Rules are chill but clear. No griefing and problems can be rolled back. PVP is only if both players agree. There is also an anarchy lite dimension where looting and KOS is allowed for players who want more chaos.
They are strict about hate speech and harassment and they try hard to keep it safe for LGBTQ plus players. You join by getting whitelisted after you read the rules and follow the steps.
