I found this server called Cozy MC and it really feels like a calm survival world.
It is vanilla survival and the world feels like singleplayer but with other people running around. There is no big fancy spawn or lobby. You just play Minecraft like normal survival but with a nice group of players.
The community is all about inclusivity and kindness. Stealing and griefing are not allowed and doing that gets you banned. The staff have tools to fix grief and also tools so players can check what happened to their containers to help find and report theft.
PvP is only allowed when both players agree so you do not get randomly killed. But you can still find people doing friendly duels if you enjoy that.
When you first join you cannot break blocks or pick up items right away. You have to go online and type the rules command and then the discord command and read the rules section carefully to learn how to start playing. This is how they keep the server safe and welcoming and make sure everybody reads all the rules before they really join in.
Overall it feels like a chill survival place where people want to be nice and play together without drama.

Pea SMP Classic Survival No Teleports
PeaMC is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to feel like classic Minecraft survival. There are no teleports and there are no land claims so you travel the world the normal way and build where you want.
It is whitelisted so people have to apply which helps keep trolls out. The owner and mods are active in game and in Discord and the community is meant to be chill.
The server supports crossplay for Java and Bedrock from 1.7x to 1.21.11. You can form teams and invite friends. PvP is allowed but griefing and stealing from bases is not allowed and spawn killing is not allowed.
There is newbie protection where PvP is off for your first hour unless you disable it. Some destructive PvP stuff is banned like TNT beds respawn anchors end crystals and minecart PvP and maces are banned too. There are a few minor plugins but they are meant to keep the vanilla feel.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPUnscripted Mod Sharing SMP Server

I found a server group called Toxic Network and it is running two modpacks right now. One is Prominence II and the other is FTB StoneBlock 4.
The servers are very new and they want to open more servers later. They host from the EU but they say US players should still feel almost no lag difference.
Prominence II is on version 3.9.17 and StoneBlock 4 is on version 1.8.0.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLegionCraft OneBlock Boss Loot Grind
LegionCraft is a OneBlock server where you start on your island and grind to grow it bigger.
The big thing here is the challenging bosses. When you beat them they drop keys and you can use those for rare loot.
There are crates with epic gear and rewards so you always have something to chase.
It also has chunk hoppers so you can automate your island and focus more on building fighting and looting. The server says it is no pay to win.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad PvP Weekly War Events
