CaveMC is a semi anarchy survival server with an enhanced vanilla feel and it is all underground. The overworld has no surface at all so you live in a huge cave world with biomes resources and structures. It is made with custom world generation built by real Minecraft developers.
Season 2 is live so it is a fresh start and the survival is meant to be brutal. You basically have to be smart and tough to last.
There is also a big expansion called the Wasteland Dimension. It adds exclusive gear mega structures to explore and mysteries to figure out. It also brings a unique currency so players can trade and build a new economy. There is a new spawn too and the dimension uses a custom generated map with special features.

Classic PVE SMP With mcMMO Ranks

Eds Classic SMP is a PVE survival multiplayer server that is trying to grow a small community and get more players testing things out. Right now it is capped at 20 players and it can expand later.
The main Overworld Nether and End are meant to never reset so you can settle in and build big projects. There is land claiming with GriefPrevention and you can use sethome so your stuff stays safe.
There are also monthly resource worlds you can reach with rtp. These worlds reset monthly and they have boosted mining XP and hostile mob XP. They are set to Hard so it can get dangerous.
The server has a balanced economy with a shop plus an auction house. It also has private player to player trading. You can level skills with mcMMO and earn playtime ranks that unlock perks abilities and cosmetics without wrecking vanilla progression.
It also supports Bedrock cross play even though it is Java native. There is a live web map so you can watch the world in real time.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSilver Cove SMP 1.21.5 No P2W

I found Silver Cove MC and it feels like it was made by someone who got tired of servers dying fast. The owner talks about wanting a real spark again and not the usual two week phase.
It is an SMP on Minecraft 1.21.5 and it also supports Bedrock players too. There is a store listed but the big promise here is that it will not turn pay to win like a lot of servers do.
If you want a survival server that is trying to stay fresh and keep players around longer this one is aiming for that.

The gameplay is mostly vanilla and it runs on Minecraft 1.21.11. There is no pay to win and there is no economy or money plugin so it feels more like normal survival.
You can protect your stuff with claims and grief is only allowed if an area is not claimed. CoreProtect is used to help protect the server.
The Overworld and Nether are meant to never reset. There is no set world border and players spawn randomly within the first 40k blocks. You can also use /rtp to find a spot within 50k blocks and then set a /home.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFriendly Rivals Throw Down In Survival

I found a quiet survival server that has a long term world and it does not reset. That means old bases and old battles stay on the map and it feels like real history.
It is semi anarchy so pvp raiding and griefing are allowed. There are no land claims and there are no kits. It also says no pay to win.
There are some quality of life commands like /home and /tpa. Vote stuff is optional and it is just cosmetics.
It supports Java and Bedrock and it runs on version 1.21.11. The vibe is low pop and chill but when two allies decide to duel it can still get intense.

TMRSMP is a long term survival server for Java and Bedrock players. It is all about clans rivalries and wars. There is no scripted story and no forced roleplay so the server history happens from what players do.
PvP is always on and there are no land claims or base protection. That means raids and betrayals can happen and your choices actually matter. It also says there are no pay to win kits or admin abuse.
I saw features like Simple Voice Chat elemental mark abilities and custom clan and war upgrades for sieges. There are player owned shops bounties and quests. You can also get droppable heads plus clan tags in chat and above player heads. There are civilian NPCs and town guard NPCs too.
