Crescenta is a semi vanilla worldbuilding and geopolitical roleplay server where players actually run the story. The world is called Gary and it is about 8 months old. The server is meant to last for years so it feels like you are joining early not late.
People here do roleplay and writing and lore plus politics and diplomacy. PvP and military planning matters a lot right now since the power balance is uneven and new fighters can change the map. Builders also fit in since nations need style and good looking towns.
Moderation is kept minimal so players handle disputes and wars and drama on their own. If you want a guided and scripted experience this is not really that. If you want choices with real consequences it is.
Protection uses the Citadel reinforcement system. It is block by block instead of chunk claims and it rewards smart building and preparation.
There are established nations that take new members and they already have culture and politics going. You can also try to start your own but it sounds like you should not do it totally alone. Versions listed are 1.21.10 to 1.21.11 and it supports Java and Bedrock crossplay. 16 plus is preferred since chat can get pretty mature.

Fast Growing Semi Anarchy Vanilla Server
I found a semi anarchy vanilla server that is growing pretty fast and it is up 24 7.
It is a place where you can make friends and start teams then fight loot build and try to take over.
The next reset is planned for late May so it still feels worth joining now and getting set up.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChaos Temple Modded Magic Mayhem 16+
The Chaos Temple is a modded Minecraft server for Java Edition. It is for players who are 16 plus and it runs on 1.20.1.
This place is all about playing with friends and leaning into chaos and magic. People team up to take on dragons and mess around with spells and enchanting. It also sounds like a calmer friendly adventure style with chaotic moments mixed in.

VanillaSMP is a survival server for people who want the real vanilla game. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks. It is not trying to be semi vanilla or fancy.
The spawn is simple and there is not a big wall of info to read. You are expected to handle your own social problems with other players. You can play how you want and build what you want. Technical players are welcome too.
The server stays on the latest stable vanilla jar and it is self hosted on a purpose built machine. There is no tp and no sethome so travel and choices actually matter.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPInfinity Cube Forever Vanilla SMP
Infinity Cube SMP is a whitelisted vanilla survival server that has been running since October 10th 2020. It is made for people who want a forever world with long term progress and big builds.
The server aims for a lasting community and a relaxed vibe. Players here are into building redstone survival grinding and creative projects while still keeping the vanilla feel.
It runs on Minecraft 1.21.10 and the world was refreshed for the update. Some chunks were reset so new features and structures can spawn but the main areas and player progress stay.
Server side extras include tp to spawn plus home and back. There is fast leaf decay BlueMap player and mob heads and custom nether portals. Everything else is optional and client side so it stays simple and lightweight.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Reset Semi Anarchy Vanilla Survival
I found Anarchy.ae and it is a long term semi anarchy survival server for people who want a world that stays around.
There are no resets and no wipes and no seasonal cycles. The map is about 4 months old and it is meant to keep going so builds can actually last.
It is vanilla survival with PvP and raiding and griefing. There is no pay to win stuff and there are no kits and no land claims.
It has some quality of life like /tpa and vote based homes. It also runs on dedicated hardware in Germany and it aims for around 20 TPS.
You can play on Java or Bedrock and vanilla movement is enforced. Moderation is focused on keeping things stable like stopping spam and hate speech and server breaking exploits.
The server is intentionally small and consistent so meeting people and building trust takes time.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
