Twilight Sanctuary is a semi vanilla survival server that is all about community and player voice. It is made for adults only and the owner really wants everyone to feel like they matter and belong.
The server runs on Paper in the U.S. and keeps the gameplay mostly vanilla with some small quality of life plugins. There is a diamond based economy kind of like hermitcraft so people trade and buy stuff using diamonds.
There is a separate resource world so players can gather materials without wrecking the main world. The server also has a live Bluemap so you can look at the world from your browser and plan bases and projects.
Twilight Sanctuary allows Java and Bedrock crossplay so friends on different platforms can still play together. The world border is smaller on purpose so players build their bases closer and actually run into each other and make friends.
The owner focuses a lot on player feedback. If someone has a cool idea they try to help make it real on the server. There are many planned events and also surprise pop up events on random days so there is always something going on with the community.
The server has been running for a little over a month and is still going strong with lots of projects and things to do. It feels like a growing community where new players can still join and be part of the story.

SmokeyMC is a towny style SMP where players build towns and either live in peace or go to war with other towns. The server runs Minecraft 1.21.10 and lets both Java and Bedrock players join so it feels pretty active and mixed.
There are playtime based ranks and jobs so you level up just by playing a lot. mcMMO is on the server too so skills get stronger over time and you feel your character getting better. There are player made shops that use in game balance so the economy is run by the players.
The world has custom terrain plus rtp resource and flat worlds so you can explore different kinds of maps and gather stuff without wrecking your town. There is an online server map where you can see towns and battles which makes the town wars feel more real.
The gameplay feels smooth and lag free and there is optional Discord voice chat if you want to talk with people while you play. There are fun monthly events so players have stuff to do together and the whole place feels like a growing towny community.

This is a small vanilla survival world that is always active and it feels super friendly. People join to build and explore and just be happy together.
The server is multiplatform so you can play on Java or Bedrock. It works with all Minecraft versions but they say it is better if you join using version 1.21.10.
Everyone hangs out as a community and it seems like they really like playing together. It looks like a nice place if you just want chill survival and nice people instead of drama.

This server is called Vanillacraft SMP and it feels like older Minecraft servers.
Everything here is almost fully vanilla and there are barely any plugins. There is a graves plugin you can even turn off and one custom plugin that only shows server info like shop locations and coordinates. It does not change how the game plays at all.
The world is built by the community and for the community. There are no instant teleports and no big admin shops that sell everything. You have to explore trade and work with other players like the game was meant to be played.
The economy is based on items and mostly on diamonds. Players run their own shops and trades. There are no admin shops so you either buy from other players or gather stuff yourself. You can even decide to trade with other items if you want. The moderators let the players shape the economy.
The community is very friendly and there are people from all over the world so there is almost always someone online to talk to or play with. You can chat in game or hang out with them on their Discord.
There is also a solid moderator team that watches over the server so the place stays fair and chill for everyone.

This server is like pure chaos but in a good way. It is almost full vanilla and the only plugin is there just to block cheaters. Everything else feels like real Minecraft with no training wheels.
You are allowed to use any glitch that exists in vanilla. People can do TNT duping bedrock breaking and rail farms and all that crazy stuff. If the base game lets it happen then this server lets it happen too until it maybe gets patched.
The world is super harsh. You can raid bases set traps and start wars. You can team up with other players then stab them in the back later if you want. Nobody really protects you so you have to be smart and kind of evil to survive.
The rules are simple. No hacks no X ray no flying mods no auto miners. If you cheat you get banned. Everything that is not cheating is pretty much allowed.
The map never resets so every base you make and every fight and every empire you build stays there forever. The world remembers what you did even if you quit for a long time.
There is no Discord and no hand holding. You just join the server figure things out and either rise up or get destroyed by someone more sneaky. It feels like the kind of server where being unhinged is normal and that is the whole point.
