Cobble and Commons is a community focused survival server that feels built for people who want to stay for a long time. The world is all about towns and shared projects and you can claim land and grow organized settlements using the Lands plugin.
The server has a deep progression system called AuraSkills. You level up things like mining farming and fighting and get passive powers and stat boosts as you play more. There is also an overhauled rank system with two different rank paths so you can pick the style that fits you. Ranks use build requirements so you always have clear goals and something new to work on.
Building is a big part of the server. There is tons of custom furniture and cosmetics so your base and character can actually look different from vanilla Minecraft. The player market is fully driven by players and you can set up your own shopkeeper stall and trade with others instead of a server shop.
The server runs seasonal events. Right now there is a winter event with Christmas themed tools pets and cosmetics that are only available for a limited time. The next big event is boat races with custom tracks leaderboards and high tier prizes.
Overall it feels like a friendly SMP that pushes you to build towns trade with others and slowly grow stronger over time instead of rushing through the game.

No Wipes Anarchy Long Term Map

I found an anarchy server that has been running for about 4 months and it is trying to be a long term world. The whole point is no constant wipes so people can build stuff that actually lasts.
The map is still pretty young so there is tons of room to build and hide bases or try to take over areas. It is semi vanilla and it has tpa plus homes and you can get more homes from vote ranks.
Dupes are patched and there is an anticheat that blocks most non vanilla movement. It is still anarchy though so raiding and stealing is normal.
Rules are minimal but spam and hate speech still get handled. It runs on version 1.21.11 and the worldborder is 1m x 1m and it is on a dedicated server in Germany. You can join on Java and Bedrock.

The big thing is performance. They talk about fast hardware for low lag and stable TPS even when you use mods and plugins.
It supports modpacks plus plugins and custom jars. The control panel is supposed to be simple and the setup is instant so you can get running fast.
They also mention helpful support and a 60 percent off first month promo code REDDIT60 for trying it out. They even offer to help people figure out setup and what plan fits around 10 to 20 players.
