I found a newer Towny server called GamerHub Towny and it is built for a small friendly community. The big deal is it has no resets so your builds and progress are meant to stick around.
Griefing and stealing are not allowed so it feels safer for people who just want to build and live in a town. A lot of the players are from Oceania and the US and people are ready to help new players.
It has ingame ranking that uses ingame money plus Dynmap so you can see the world. There are player warps and player shops and a sell only server shop. It also has Jobs and MCMMO and the server gets busiest when it is streamed on twitch.
It supports version 1.21.10 or similar.

Deazlim SMP Risky Survival No Claims

Deazlim SMP is a survival multiplayer server where everything feels risky and real. People can raid your base steal your stuff and grief builds so you actually have to think about defense and hiding your loot.
There are no strict land claims and it is not a forced peace place. You can team up make alliances then get betrayed and come back harder. PvP is allowed and the whole vibe is survival with a competitive edge.
The rules are simple. No spawn killing so new players get a chance. No hacking and no client mods that give unfair advantages. No duping or exploits. No spamming in chat.
They also do seasonal world resets so you can start fresh again. It runs on Java edition and they mention Bedrock cross play might be available.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi-Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets

I found this semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft with only a few changes. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
It stays online all the time and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They say 1.21.10 is the best to use so you do not run into problems.
The world is huge with a 2 million block border and it does not do map resets. There is no teleporting and no pay to win. PvP and griefing are allowed so it can get messy fast.
The only command they allow that is not vanilla is spawn so people far away can get back to civilization. Nether roof is allowed phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They still have some limits since exploits lag machines duping spamming and harassment or racial slurs in chat are not allowed.

They also talk about safety with DDoS protection and a backup system where you can create and restore backups fast. The specs they list are 8 GB RAM an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 10 GB NVMe storage and a 1 Gbit uplink. They also say there is no credit card needed and no hidden fees.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMythvale Towny Wars With Real Consequences

Mythvale is a competitive survival server where towns matter and wars are planned out. It is built for people who like long term progress and player politics instead of random raiding.
Towns can claim land and build protected settlements so your work is not just deleted overnight. When wars happen the fights are structured and the goal is to plunder town money not erase the whole town off the map. It also avoids offline land loss so it feels more fair.
The world uses custom terrain with mountains plains coasts and valleys so where you build can actually matter. The map is meant to stick around with history that stays and future expansions instead of full resets.
It supports both Java and Bedrock so more friends can play together. The economy is player driven with shops and progress is meant to be permanent.
