Cozyvale is a new survival server that is totally vanilla but also has some nice quality of life tweaks. From what I can see the owners are a small group of friends who want an 18 plus community that feels chill and cozy.
The server is about simple survival with other people. You still walk or ride everywhere because there is no teleport. There are no land claims or pay to win stuff so it feels more like a normal world where people just trust each other and build together.
Some of the features are things like only half the people online need to sleep for night to pass and leaves disappear faster after you chop trees. There is a simple voice mod and a dynmap so you can see the world from a map view. You can get player and mob heads as drops and you can turn concrete in cauldrons. There is also reduced mob grief so creepers and other mobs do not wreck builds as bad.
They are also looking for builders who want to help create spawn the shopping district and other big community areas. If you like helping build public places this server seems like it really wants that.
Overall the server feels like it is trying to be a cozy vanilla world for adults who want to relax explore and build together without crazy plugins.
Cozyvale S1 – Chill 18+ Vanilla SMP
Noheart SMP Lifesteal Combat Survival
I found this SMP called Noheart and it is built around fighting and survival. It has the Lifesteal mod so combat actually matters and people will want to be careful.
It is not anarchy though. Griefing and stealing are not allowed so your builds and stuff are safer while you still get the combat vibe.
It is not scripted and you can make your own lore if you want. The server is modded and it includes Enchancement and Arsenal plus other mods. When this was posted there were 11 members and 20 total slots.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPROME RISES AGAIN IN NATION WAR
I found a heavily modded Nations server that is focused on Create. People build huge industry and set up cities and fortresses while alliances form and break.
Right now there is a big war going on. The strongest nation is fighting a Catholic Alliance made of six nations. Rome is rising in the middle of it and they are recruiting anyone who wants to help.
There are no strict requirements to join. New players and veterans can find a role. You can build machines fight in nation wars and influence the server politics as it changes the map.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOathwood Calm Survival No Grief Just Build
Oathwood is a long term survival world where the players shape everything over time. It feels calm and it rewards patience. You can wander around or settle down and build something big.
The server is about towns and trading and making your own story. Nothing is just handed to you so it is more satisfying when a place finally comes together.
It also has a lot of popular plugins that were suggested by the community. There is Minecraft and Discord chat linked so you can talk with people even if you are not in game.
If you want a safer place to play this one pushes a no grief and no toxicity vibe. It also supports Simple Voice Chat if you want to install the mod. You can set up your own shops with Shopkeeper and sell items for diamonds.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPQSMP Style Neoforge Modded Lore SMP

I found REDACTED SMP and it is a modded SMP that takes inspiration from QSMP. It has its own lore and a bunch of different characters so it feels like a story world.
The server is mostly roleplay with PVE and PVP too. The nether is open right away and the end stays closed for now.
It runs on Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.1 and uses a custom Neoforge modpack with over 200 mods. It also uses Custom Player Models.
The community is meant to be inclusive and it has been growing for about 2 years. It is 16 plus and you apply to join and you need your DMs open for the bot.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Den SMP Semi Vanilla Adults
The Den SMP is a vanilla inspired survival server made for adults only. It is 18 plus and it is whitelisted so the staff can approve members and keep things mature and respectful.
It is focused on long term survival with a chill community. You can build explore and just hang out and talk while you play.
The server has a Survival Guide that helps you find features like leaderboards voting a cosmetics shop a vanilla friendly economy and a live map. They also say they protect against griefing theft and hacking and will help if something goes wrong.
