CrabCraft is a simple vanilla style SMP that tries to keep Minecraft fair and fun. It is inspired by HermitCraft so the whole idea is to play survival with other people without a bunch of crazy plugins changing the game.
The server uses light quality of life stuff that makes things smoother but does not change how the game is meant to be played. There are no ranks and no paid perks at all so everyone is on the same level. They also use proximity voice chat so you can talk to people who are near you in game.
The community is active and respectful and they seem to care a lot about that. Last season over 150 players joined and together they played more than seven thousand hours. The server does automatic backups and has per chunk rollback so if something really bad happens they can fix it.
To join you have to go to their Discord and fill out a short application and then they will reply and help you get started.

Create SMP + Rotating Modpack Server

Crafttomuck is a modded community that runs a few different servers and they are looking for more players for season 4.
The main server is a survival SMP built around the Create mod with lots of addons. People build cool stuff and hang out and mess with contraptions. There is a shopping district and a gaming district that keeps growing.
They also run a second server that rotates through modpacks that the community votes on. Right now it is running AllTheMons. There is also a creative server on the same modpack as the survival one so you can test machines or plan builds.
The servers are on a dedicated machine in NYC and it is usually at 20 TPS. It is 18 plus and whitelisted and you have to apply and actually write something because they read it. They say they are not super strict but they want people who will stick around.

Realm of Thrones is a small but growing SMP where players try to build kingdoms that actually last. The whole point is nations and history. People claim land and build cities castles and trade hubs while the world keeps moving forward.
The server uses the Lands plugin for claiming and managing territory. You can form alliances and also go to war with rival empires. It feels more like strategy because your land turns into a real civilization over time.
There is an economy with player run shops and also a server shop. You can do jobs that pay you while you level skills and there is McMMO progression too. There is legendary fishing and crates and rewards.
Technology and industry are a big deal here because Minetorio components let players build automated factories. Ranks can be earned with in game money and playtime so you always have something to work toward.
They also said advanced farming is coming soon with new custom crops and extra farming mechanics so farming can be a real progression path for kingdoms.

BackToBlocks is a mostly vanilla survival server that tries to keep the classic Minecraft feeling. It adds a few helpful commands like sethome and spawn so getting around is not a pain.
The server has a community built spawn and the staff run events. There is also a decorated End Island and a Nether Hub so late game travel feels nicer.
Players can use light QoL stuff like tpa. Extra warp spots can be unlocked from voting rewards so active players get more travel options without changing the main survival vibe.
It is not trying to be a PvP server but PvP and raiding are allowed within limits. There is no griefing and it is not pay to win so the progress feels fair. There is even an itemflip command if you want to gamble items just for fun.
