Chilltown is a new SMP that feels really relaxed but still has a challenge. It is for people who like to explore and build cool stuff without the game feeling too harsh.
The server runs in seasons that last about 90 days. Each season the terrain changes so the world feels fresh and more alive. There are custom structures and custom biomes so you can find nice views and more loot while you explore.
There are custom mobs and custom enchants so fights and gear feel different from normal Minecraft. You also get a daily rewards system so logging in feels worth it.
Claiming land is done with chunks so you do not have to mess with a golden shovel. There is a community chest and a community discord so players can share items and talk together.
The people on the server are described as friendly and inclusive and the staff puts a heavy focus on not being pay to win. It feels like a place where you can just chill play survival and slowly build up cool bases with others.

I found a Java SMP called The ShadowSMP. It is a small chill server and it is trying to stay fun and active.
They have a few cool plugins and it sounds like they want everyone to just play together and have a blast. There are around 20 players right now so it feels like a smaller group but still alive.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOP Gens Lifesteal PvP Domination
Lifestealbox MC is a lifesteal PvP server where fights actually matter. When you kill someone you take their hearts and when you die you lose power so every fight feels risky.
It also has an OP generator system that makes resources come in automatically. That means less boring grinding and more time spent fighting upgrading your gear and progressing faster.
The vibe is fast paced and competitive with constant PvP and real rewards. It feels good for sweaty players and for grinders too.
The community is active and growing and people are friendly but still competitive. Staff actually helps and the server gets events updates and improvements. It also says there is no pay to win nonsense and power is earned not given.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMineHub 1.21.9 Minigames And PVP

I found a Java server called Everdawn Saga and it is still being built for Season 0. The whole point is that players can help shape the world while it is starting up.
It has different chat ranges so you can talk in global or local and even shout or whisper. It also has a D and D style dice roller plus a stats sheet so it feels more like an RPG.
The theme is medieval and it has a pantheon for lore. Staff and the community are meant to help you get started and there are lore masters who can help you build your character. You need to DM for an interview to join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAtlasMC Towny Earth Geopolitics Warfare
