Creepers Hollow is a new Minecraft Java survival server that has been up for almost two weeks. It is mostly vanilla and it is meant to feel relaxed and community driven.
The world is still fresh so it is a good time to join early and help build towns shops and big projects from the start. A bunch of new players are already working on a town together.
The server uses some quality of life plugins but it stays close to normal survival. The community is friendly and growing and there are plans for server events. They are also looking for staff.

community-driven worldnew player friendlyOrganic multiplayer funsimple survival serverSurvival social hub
I found a semi vanilla SMP called Astro SMP and it is trying to grow. It started with about 8 players and they want more people to join.
They are looking for 2 more moderators and they want to hit 20 players online at the same time. It feels like a small community server where people just play survival together and try to make it bigger.

Academy style storiesCharacter focused playImprovisation roleplayOOC friendly chatRoleplay boundaries
I found a Minecraft roleplay server that runs in seasons and every season has a new theme. The last one was an academy vibe but the current season has characters tied to lab experiments.
The roleplay can get heavier and it may include topics like mental and physical abuse so this is for people who can handle serious story stuff. It is not an SMP and it is not an MCTV server.
The community seems friendly and welcoming and they also play other games together. There is a player limit so spots can be limited. It is 16+ only.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHARDCORE NATIONS MEDIEVAL WARFARE FORGE 1.20.1

This is a Forge 1.20.1 heavily modded server set in a brutal medieval fantasy world where PvP is the whole point. It feels like the land is always contested and you are not really meant to stay alone.
The main vibe is hardcore nations. You form a nation from nothing then build it into a real kingdom. You can claim and hold territory and if you want land you usually have to fight for it.
The world fights back too. You deal with thirst and temperature and harsh travel. Injuries matter and bad damage can change a fight fast so planning actually matters.
War is constant. People use medieval gear and siege machines to break defenses and raid. Dragons are in the world and kingdoms can rise and fall depending on who can defend what they built.

I found a small geopol style Minecraft server that is going for a medieval times vibe. It uses a bunch of in house plugins so the gameplay feels more like living in that kind of world.
It also has a huge detailed custom map that tries to look like real planet geography. The owner said the server is being redone right now and they want a smaller more active community instead of lots of older inactive players.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWesteros Kingdoms Worldbuilding PVP Wars

WesterosUM is a server inspired by Game of Thrones where players can build their own kingdom and live in a full medieval era.
You can train up for wars and fight other players or you can focus on trading with others instead. It feels like you get to choose your own path while building up your place in the world.
There is also a dynmap so you can look around and see the world from above.
