This is a semi vanilla survival server that is really focused on community and playing together. It feels like a normal survival world but with a few extra tools that make it way less stressful.
The economy is all about diamonds so players trade and buy things using them. You can make your own shop and there is a shops menu so it is easy to find what people are selling. It feels like a player run market instead of some crazy custom system.
You can claim land with a golden shovel so your builds are safe and there is no griefing. There is no keep inventory so it still feels like real survival and you actually have to be careful in caves and fights.
There are separate resource worlds so people can mine and gather stuff there and keep the main world clean and good looking. There is also a live world map you can open in your browser so you can see where you are and where other builds are.
The server works for both Java and Bedrock so more friends can join. There are ranks and vote rewards you can earn just by playing and voting so you get perks over time instead of paying right away.
The community seems really friendly and there are weekly events that keep people active. It feels like a good place if you just want chill survival with other players and not a bunch of crazy mods.

This is a niche SMP I found that mixes guns with the Create mod.
It sounds like a small community place where people just play survival together and mess around with builds and contraptions.
If you want something different from the usual SMP and you like tech stuff plus combat then this server is basically that.

I found a normal SMP that is starting up soon and it is meant to feel like regular Minecraft survival.
There is no economy stuff and it is not modded. They only use a few plugins and it sounds like they are kept light so the gameplay stays mostly the same.
It has crossplay and the server is up 24 7. They also say there will be no resets so you can build long term. Launch is on Feb 20.

The world is a custom 10k by 10k map and the nether and the end are disabled.
There are weekly events planned and it looks like a bunch of people are already waiting to start. Joining early can matter since there are custom structures around the map with loot to find.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets

I found Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like vanilla. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
The server is online all the time and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They recommend 1.21.10 so stuff works better.
The world is huge with a 2 million block border and it says there are no map resets. There is no pay to win and there is no teleporting. PvP and griefing are fully allowed.
The only command they allow is spawn so players 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 block stuff like exploits lag machines duping and spamming. They also do not allow harassment or racial slurs in chat.
