I found Crown SMP and it is a new Java 1.21.8+ server that is looking for players and staff.
The big thing here is player choice PvP. You can toggle PvP in the survival world so you can build and chill. There is also a dedicated PvP world where combat is forced so you can go fight when you want that risk vs reward feeling.
Survival uses land claims so your builds stay protected. If land is unclaimed it is fair game so claiming matters and it feels like smart survival rules.
There is a massive quest system with over 10000 quests. It is gameplay driven so you can explore grind and finish objectives at your own pace.
You can also use jobs to earn money from mining farming building and more. It has leveling prestiges and long term progression for casuals and grinders.
The economy is balanced with player run chest shops and trading. There are also server shops that are tuned to not ruin everything.
Extra stuff includes a mob arena with scalable rewards custom enchants and redstone powered flight that uses fuel. There are cosmetic focused rewards too. The server has a survival world and a PvP arena world.

This is a community centered survival server that is made by the players for the players.
It has a Hermitcraft style SMP feel with a diamond based economy and a shopping district. People also work on public builds and bigger projects together.
A lot of players use proximity chat so you can actually talk while you play. There are homes plus some cosmetic and quality of life plugins and fun stuff that gets added from community requests and polls.
The server tries to keep the vanilla experience but still lets the community expand it over time. It is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it is whitelisted and 18 plus only. Online counts are usually around 5 to 20 through the day and there are lots of regular active players and groups looking for more members.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOnion SMP Lag Free QOL Survival

The direction of the server is community driven from day one and they are starting with season 1 player applications. The launch is coming soon so it is a good time to join from the start.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLAZARUS I THE WAR NEVER ENDS
This server is all about a war torn world where only a few people are left. It has this dark end of the world vibe where everyone is trying to find allies and survive what is left.
The big hook is the Lazarus chip idea. If you get killed and nobody saves you in time you snap back to your last friendly base with your gear still on. So fights stay intense and people keep coming back ready to push again.
It feels like a smaller ongoing war with groups forming up and hunting each other down. If you want in you have to apply and you must be in the Discord server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
