This is a vanilla SMP called GOOMB and it is running a brand new season with amplified terrain. The world just got reset about two weeks ago so everyone is still building up their bases and the server feels really active and new.
There is a 6k by 6k world border so players end up building pretty close to each other or teaming up. Later the border will get bigger so people can spread out more and start different plans and projects. It makes the start feel like a real community because you actually see your neighbors.
The discord is super busy with people posting shop ads screenshots of cool amplified terrain and talking about trades or deals. Voice chats are usually full of people just hanging out and talking about their plans for the world so it feels like a social server not just singleplayer with chat.
The rules are pretty strict about being respectful. There is no racism no hate speech and no NSFW stuff. You are not allowed to grief steal or do PvP without consent. Players are expected to be mature keep drama out of the server and use common sense.
To join you have to apply first and get accepted by moderators before you can get whitelisted. After that you give your name and then you can hop into the amplified world and start building with everyone else.

This is a new ranked SMP that is starting really soon and it is all about PvP and ranks. Everyone is playing in vanilla style so it feels like normal Minecraft but more sweaty.
About 25 random players get a rank on the server. The higher your rank the more hearts you have. If you kill someone who has a rank you take their rank. So PvP actually matters a lot here.
There are events almost every day so it does not get boring. The players are all good at PvP and the whole server is built around fighting for better ranks and extra hearts. If you like competition this server fits you.

ZaosMC is a survival RPG server that is made for people who want to play for a long time and not lose everything to fast resets. The world is meant to stay around so you can build real bases and towns and keep working on them.
The server is focused on progression and skills and gear upgrades. There are custom RPG style mechanics and quality of life changes so the gameplay feels deeper than normal survival. You can explore and grind and grow stronger over time.

The community is friendly and international so solo players builders grinders and explorers can all find a place. You can chill with friends or tryhard your progression and the server does not force one single meta or playstyle.

Chilltown SMP is a really relaxed survival server that feels like a small friendly town. The players like to go on adventures and build cool stuff instead of rushing everything.
The server tries to be unique and a little challenging but it is not super punishing. It has seasons that change the terrain every 90 days so the world always feels fresh and alive. There are custom structures and custom biomes so you can find great views and more loot while you explore.
There are custom mobs and custom enchants so fights and gear feel different from normal Minecraft. You can get daily rewards too so logging in every day actually feels worth it.

MineRealm is a classic survival multiplayer server that has been online since 2010. It has a long history and a lot of different players have joined over the years. The world uses a smaller map that slowly gets bigger so new chunks are always in the latest Minecraft version.
The server feels really close to vanilla but it still has some custom plugins. These plugins are there to help players play together better and keep the world running for a long time. There is a plot system so you can claim land and not worry about random people ruining your base.
The gameplay is 100 percent legit survival. There is no pay to win and no item spawning. What you build and what you earn is from actually playing the game. They also use grief protection so your stuff stays safe.
The world is built by players. You do not spawn in some huge fancy hub. Instead everything you see is made by the community and it stays there because there are no world resets. If you are looking for a small friendly server that feels like classic Minecraft this is one of those places.
