I found a brand new 18 plus SMP called Caelum and it is built around lore roleplay and exploring a strange universe between dimensions.
Everyone starts together and the world is mostly a blank slate. There are a few lore prebuilds already and they are there to help set the vibe.
You can make a character from any universe and write your own origin story. You can also pick any race or species you want.
It is modded survival with Origins plus some furniture stuff and Epic Knights. There are puzzles to solve and secrets to find. It also has proximity voice chat and they have extra voice rooms too.

I found a Minecraft 1.6.4 server that is super chill and feels like a simple place to play.
It says there are no rules but everyone is supposed to keep a basic respect thing going. So you can mess around and do your own thing as long as you are not being a jerk.
If you want an older version server with a calm vibe this one is basically just that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSolaris SMP Chill Vanilla Plus Adults
Solaris SMP is a small relaxed Vanilla plus survival server made for adults who want something stable and long term. It takes ideas from Hermitcraft and focuses on teamwork and creativity without making the game feel rushed.
It has proximity voice chat so people can talk while they play. It also has Discord linking so chat can go between the game and Discord. There is a live Bluemap you can open in a browser.
There are extra tools for builders like Armor Stand Poser mini blocks and mob and player heads. There is also an AudioPlayer for ambient music and custom tracks during builds or events. A separate creative planning server is included with Axiom and WorldEdit for designing builds.
For safety it uses CoreProtect and Ledger for grief protection and rollbacks. It also runs Carpet Mod and Vanilla Tweaks features like elytra from the dragon fast leaf decay silence mobs renewable sand and more.

Alliance driven politicshardcore smp communityhigh risk survivalsurvival multiplayer realmUnforgiving gameplay loop
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.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStormy Lagoon SMP Crossplay Progression
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. You can also customize tags and join messages and make pixel art using the canvas art feature.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLong-Term Vanilla SMP With Real Community
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
LuckyGem SMP is a fresh semi vanilla survival server where you can play on Java or Bedrock together. It feels like a new start with a fully custom spawn and lots of places made to look cool like a shopping district and a nether hub.
The server runs weekly competitions that can be building mining redstone or PvE stuff. Winners get rare items and special perks so there is always a reason to try hard.
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
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 IP
