This server is called CaveMC and it is on Season 2. It is a semi anarchy survival server where the whole overworld is underground. There is no surface at all. Everything is caves with different biomes resources and structures.
The gameplay feels way harder than normal survival. You have to be really smart to survive because it is brutal and there is not much safety. It is still kind of vanilla but it has a lot of custom world generation made by real Minecraft developers so it feels unique.
They are adding a new place called the Wasteland Dimension. It is a huge new area not just a normal biome. In the Wasteland you can get brand new powerful gear and there are massive structures to explore. These mega structures hide secrets and good loot so people will fight over them.
The Wasteland also has its own special currency so there is a new type of economy where players can trade in a different way. There is a brand new spawn made for this update so when you join you start in a place that fits the Wasteland theme.
The map in the Wasteland is custom made and looks really cool. It is also built to be challenging with special features that change how you play. Overall it feels like a dangerous underground world for players who like harsh survival and exploring new dimensions.

Cubemon is a Cobblemon SMP on Java that mixes Pokemon style training with normal survival play. The big thing is it has all 1000 Pokemon so you can actually go for a full collection.
I noticed it pushes exploration a lot with custom structures and custom legendary spawns so running around the world feels worth it. If you like battling there are tournaments and competitive events plus other server wide events.
It also has land claims so your builds stay safe. The community is meant to be friendly and staff is active so it feels more alive instead of empty.

Perils in Paradise is a simple lore based survival server that is built to be fun and fair. It is made to be great for streaming and for players who want story vibes without a pay to win feel.
Everyone gets 5 lives and the big twist is that only PVP deaths count. If mobs get you it does not take a life so you can still explore without feeling doomed all the time.
The server keeps plugins minimal so it should run well even on weaker computers. The main feature is proximity chat so people can run into each other and create surprise moments and mystery.
It also pushes content creation a lot and there are players with different social media experience who can help you learn and grow. If you are not a creator you can still apply since they want new people too.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Hermit-Style Small SMP

I found KimitCraft and it is a brand new Java SMP on the latest version. It is vanilla plus which means it stays mostly vanilla but has a few quality of life tweaks.
It is whitelisted and the goal is a small chill group with around 6 to 15 active players. The server is inspired by Hermitcraft so it is about trust and community builds and later on they want to make a shopping district.
It is meant to be long term and not one of those worlds that resets all the time. They also say no pay to win and they want respectful players who actually talk and play together.

It has an economy with ChestShops so you can trade with other players and build your own shop. You can also set player warps so people can visit your builds and places you find.
There are ranks you can work through as you play and a skills system so you can level up different abilities while you survive build and explore. I also saw quests plus an in game shop to grab items easier.
It also has minions to help you out and pets that can join you and level up too. The whole thing sounds like a chill survival home for builders traders and explorers.
