Stormy Lagoon is a simple smp that you can join on both Java and Bedrock.
It is made for people who just want to play Minecraft survival with others. You can hop on with friends or meet new players and explore and build together.
From what I can see the server is focused on having a relaxed multiplayer world. It is not packed with crazy game modes. It is more like a calm place to log on and play survival.
If you like crossplay stuff this server is nice because Java and Bedrock players can join the same world.

Storybook SMP is a small fantasy style SMP where you can actually play as monsters. The main mods right now are Vampirism and Werewolves Become A Beast so you can live as one of those creatures from fairytales.
The community is pretty small but active and there are people on at all hours. Most players live around the spawn village so it feels like a cozy town. Everyone is social and chill and there is no random killing. PvP only happens when both players say yes so it stays friendly.
The server is 13 plus and the players act mature. You do not need to be an adult. You just need to be nice and ready to be part of the group.
Roleplay is a big part of the server idea. Everyone makes a backstory for their character and that goes into the whitelist application. After you join you share your backstory in a public channel so other players can read your lore and you can read theirs.
The big official roleplay story has not started yet and the ending is not decided. The community will choose when it begins and when it ends. That gives you time to build your house and get your monster life set up. The pace is very relaxed and nobody rushes you.
If you want a cozy monster themed SMP with friendly people and shared stories this server fits really well.

Sovereign SMP is on Season 6 and it feels like a small HermitCraft style world where everyone actually talks to each other and builds cool stuff.
The server is basically vanilla but it has a few plugins just so it runs smooth. Players use diamonds as money and there are shops plus community builds and games so you are not just stuck mining alone.
The community is very LGBTQIA plus friendly and they really push for a fun and welcoming vibe so new players can fit in fast. There are people from all over the world and all kinds of Minecrafters like builders and redstone people and explorers.
They like active players who want to be part of the world for real and join in community events instead of just logging in once and quitting. If you want a calm survival server that feels like a series with friends this one is pretty close.

The Pen is a classic prison server that feels like the old days. It is not an OP prison so you actually have to grind for money and gear. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you work your way up through the ranks.
You mine and smelt your ores then walk through pvp zones to sell them in the commissary. There is no instasell so every trip is risky. Swords and potions are illegal and if guards see you with contraband they will fight you and can even send you to solitary confinement for bad conduct.
There are normal prison ranks from A up to H and then you can become a Parolee and finally a Citizen. After you hit the top rank you can prestige for special rewards. You can also rent a prison cell or a prison plot to store items build little setups grow illegal plants or run your own shop to sell to other players.
The server has guards senior guards wardens and higher staff that keep things under control and help new players. There are quests you can complete for cash or special items. You can earn money in many ways like mining fishing growing illegal crops or using the auction house. There are also bounties you can place on enemies and parkour challenges scattered around the prison.
Overall it is a barebones nostalgic prison server focused on grinding pvp and community instead of crazy overpowered gear.

This server is called Disc Realms Anthala and it feels like a big world that is meant to last. The owners say there are no resets and all your data is saved forever so it feels safe to build big projects and not worry.
It is not just a normal Towny copy. The whole server has lore that is shaped by the players and also by the server team. You can tell they really want the story and the world to matter.
The economy is a huge part of it. There is a global market and they talk about how atoms cannot be created or destroyed so the resources in the world are basically what players trade. Instead of a separate resource world you go for materials using the global economy and special resource points on the map.
There is custom content made by the owners so it is not just another EarthSMP or generic server. They promise continuous updates so new content keeps coming.
They also say it is zero pay to win. All the core features can be used without buying ranks and rank owners do not get gameplay advantages.
You can join on Java or Bedrock and the server name they use for this world is Anthala Network.
