This server is called Creative Central and it feels like someone has been planning it forever. The whole network is built around almost ten years of lore and worldbuilding that all fits together in the same canon.
There are two main game modes right now. On CC Plots you get a massive 512 by 512 creative plot. You get free WorldEdit and there are not many limits on blocks or commands. You can also use headdatabase and armorstandtools without paying so you can customize tiny details on builds and armor stands.
On CC Earth you play on a Towny server with a 1 to 500 scale Earth map. You can start a town claim land and use the economy to keep your town running. You can form nations with other players and grow your territory together. PvP is on in some parts of the world but it is not the main focus and it does not block your progress.
The server is strictly not pay to win and there are no microtransactions that give you advantages. There is a sponsor rank that costs money but it only gives cosmetic perks for players who want to support the server.
Creative Central is part of something called Project Everything which is a group of different worldbuilding stories and lore from a bunch of people all in the same universe. The whole place feels like it is made for players who like building exploring and being part of a big shared story.

Syndicate SMP Community Events Daily

I found a server called SyndicateSMP and it is all about playing survival with a friendly community.
They run events every day and you can win fun prizes. It feels like a place where people actually hang out and do stuff together.
You can start building right away if you want or you can grind for your items. Either way you can play how you like.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSolarion SMP 18+ Semi Vanilla Survival

Solarion SMP is a whitelisted Java survival server for 18+ players who want a long term world and a real community. It is semi vanilla and inspired by Hermitcraft so people build big stuff and work together and also do their own thing.
Season 7 starts with a fresh world reset on 01/09/2026 so it is a clean slate for new bases and big projects. Seasons usually run about 6 to 8 months so you have time to actually finish builds and farms.
There are community districts and player made games like minigames parkour and puzzles plus shared builds and server events. The vibe is chill and hands off with admins and it is more about natural moments than forced lore.
It runs on Java 1.21.x and has extras like optional proximity voice chat a live 3D map grief rollback with CoreProtect graves for death item recovery armor stand tools player sleep head drops ImageFrame GSit custom music discs and performance stuff for world gen and lag. Chat is unfiltered and open minded with dark humor allowed as long as you do not be an ass.

RedLine Season 2 is a semi anarchy survival server that just reopened with a full reset. It runs on 1.21.11 and it is built for people who like real risk and real fights.
The world border is 12k by 12k. Griefing stealing killing and prisoning are allowed. Hacking duping and exploiting are not allowed to a point and they explain more in the server.
There are no easy commands like sethome ah or claim so you have to travel and protect your stuff the hard way. There is no pay to win but you can buy cosmetic tiers.
The server has a RedLine System where you can collect special weapons like maces swords and axes with names and skins if you use their custom resource pack. Each set has one of each weapon so people race to craft them.
Ender chests are nerfed to one row so you cannot hide everything. Netherite is unbanned and there are new kits like a Netherite SMP kit and a Trident Spear kit. The nether opens a few days after launch.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPermanent Vanilla SMP With Chill Events

I found a vanilla Minecraft SMP that started a few days ago and it already has a solid playerbase. The world is meant to be permanent so you can build big stuff and keep it there.
Most people are in their 20s and everyone seems pretty chill. The staff also wants to run small events like civilization and some modded and unmodded events besides the main vanilla world.
They want more people so it can feel mid sized and so there can be more builds going up all the time.

I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now.
They plan to fully start in about a week so it feels like a good time to hop in early and help check things out.
It is survival multiplayer with that mostly normal vanilla feel.
