This server is trying to be like those big donut smp style worlds but in a smaller chill way. It has an economy so you can earn and spend money instead of just grinding alone.
Each player gets a 16×16 plot so you have your own little spot to build and not get in other peoples way. It feels organized but still simple.
There is a shop command so you can buy and sell stuff and it makes survival feel more like a little town world. The owner is just looking for kind players who want to help the server grow and not be toxic.
Anyone can join and it really feels like they want a friendly community more than sweaty tryhard pvp. If you like small servers that are starting out and want to be there from the beginning this one seems pretty good.

Arctic MC is a calm towny survival server where the world feels really cozy. The custom world generation has big valleys and hills so it is fun to explore and look for a place to build your next huge base or town.
The server uses Towny and Factions so you can start a town with friends or join someone else or try to make your own territory. It also has McMMO so your skills level up as you play and you feel like you are getting stronger over time.
There is Slimefun with tons of custom machines tools and materials so you can make crazy automations and mess with high tech stuff without leaving survival.
The community feels relaxed and friendly and the whole server atmosphere is calm so it is good if you just want to build hang out and talk without a lot of chaos or drama.

Malgazars Lair is a small semi vanilla server that started as a group of five friends and now they want more people to join.
The server has a forever server vibe. They plan to keep it going and update it to the latest version every time so it never feels old.
There are only a few quality of life plugins like VeinMiner. Nothing crazy that changes how Minecraft really plays. It still feels like normal survival.
The community is meant to be positive and chill. They do not want griefing or toxicity at all. If you like friendly people and just building and surviving together this fits really well.
They already have some new players from earlier and they still have room for a couple more. You can also bring your friends if you want to play together.

This is a small survival server that is vanilla plus with just a few mods. The main stuff is Waystones and Simple VC so it still feels like normal Minecraft.
There are some builder focused teams and players that work on big builds. Most people are already in endgame so there is a lot of loot around and it is easy to gear up if you join.
The world is going to reset in February so you can jump in now and mess around or join to get a feel for the community before the fresh start.

This is a classic style prison server that feels like the old days. It is not an OP prison and you actually have to grind to rank up. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you work your way through the prison ranks.
You mine ores smelt them yourself and walk through pvp zones to sell them in the commissary. There is no insta sell so the grind is real. Swords and potions count as contraband and guards will fight you if they see you with them.
There are ranks from A all the way to Parolee and Citizen. After you hit the top rank you can prestige for special rewards. If you become a Parolee you can leave the prison and build a farm to make even more money.
You can rent a prison cell or a plot to store stuff grow illegal custom plants build or make your own shop. Those illegal plants are risky because guards can catch you. There are quests that give extra cash or special items and there is an auction house for selling things.
The server also has custom fishing parkour challenges and a bounty system where you put money on other players heads. Guards and senior guards keep order and can even send people to solitary confinement for bad behavior. It is a grindy prison server with pvp danger and a focus on old school community play.
