AwakenMC is a chill skyblock SMP that feels built around the people playing it. The main focus is player trading community events and regular quality of life updates so the game stays smooth and fun.
It is a small cozy community that tries hard to be welcoming and friendly to new players. The server listens to feedback and takes suggestions from the discord then players can vote on the ideas they like.
If you are new you should not feel lost when you join. You can also set up player shops and build your own little marketplace to trade with visitors. The server is staying on top of bugs and also adds fresh seasonal content.
It supports cross play and it launched about three months ago with a long term plan to build something meaningful.

LazyCraft No Paywalls Survival SMP
LazyCraft is a chill survival SMP I found that really sticks to the no paywalls idea. It is 100 percent free to play and it tries to keep a semi vanilla survival feel while still giving you a lot of helpful commands.
The world is made for long term play. The overworld is huge and the nether and end are claimable. There are also resettable resource worlds in every dimension so you can keep gathering stuff.
PvP is off in the overworld unless you go to the spots where it is allowed. Phantoms are also turned off everywhere which is honestly nice.
Building feels safe because there are strict no grief rules and you can claim land. You can fly inside your claims and start with free sethomes. You can also make towns with Lands and set up player warps.
The economy is mostly player driven. You can sell ores to a server shop. You can trade with players and use the auction house. You can also make unlimited chest shops and there is a special world just for player shops.
For quality of life you get things like feed repair trash and condense without needing ranks. There are craftable mob catchers plus tree feller with auto replant. You also start with player vaults.
The community is small but active with about 10 online during the day and 10 plus regular daily players. The owner actually listens to suggestions and adds new features. It supports Java and Bedrock 1.21.11.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets

Halcyon is a Lands PvP server trying to feel like an immersive medieval world while still being on the latest vanilla Minecraft 1.21.11. It is based in Australia and there are players from Europe the Americas and Asia. It often has around 10 to 30 players online.
The world is handmade and the server makes survival harder. You cannot skip the night and healing is slow and only works in certain conditions. Progress is meant to be slower too so people focus less on meta stuff and more on creativity cooperation and picking a role.
There is no teleporting so travel actually matters. Players end up making roads waystations and even hidden underground railways. Crops and saplings are limited to certain biomes so trading becomes important and different areas start to feel unique.
It is not heavy roleplay with forced lore. You can play how you want and your own stories grow over time through fights deals building cities and getting other players to join your side.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
