CaliCraft is a player run server where the community shapes what happens. People vote every two weeks to elect an Emperor and that person can have real power over the server. They can make laws and even lock people up including staff. There is a Constitution they have to follow but they can also make temporary laws and some laws can become permanent through a Discord poll.
There is a lobby when you join so you can jump into the different gamemodes fast. Modded Survival has custom enchantments plus skills and jobs with an economy and an auction house. It also has custom dungeons and vote crates with strong gear and it is a claim world with a kingdom run by the Emperor.
Vanilla Survival is more chill with quests chest sorting and daily rewards. There is also Skyblock with extra addons. Cobblemon is on a separate Fabric server so you need the Cobblemon modpack then you can hop over using the server options.
The server also uses a custom resource pack with unique mobs animals elites and dungeon bosses with special drops so it does not feel like plain vanilla out there.

SoulCrusher is a Java and Bedrock lifesteal server where fighting other players actually matters. If you kill someone you can gain hearts and you can also craft hearts too.
When you die you lose a heart and if you run out of hearts you get a temp ban until someone revives you. It is free to play and it feels like it wants more people to join so the world stays active.
The rules are pretty strict about fairness. No hacking or exploits and no doxxing and no 18 plus stuff. They also do not allow alts or combat logging and they want chat to stay under control with no spam or advertising.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHire a 12 Year Minecraft Dev

I found a place that is mostly about getting custom Minecraft dev work done and also meeting new friends. The dev says they have 12 years of experience and they are open to basically any idea you can describe.
They can make custom plugins and datapacks for lots of gamemodes like survival skyblock lifesteal prison smp and minigames. They also build Discord bots with whatever features and integrations you need and the price depends on the project.
The vibe is chill and communication heavy. They say they actually respond and you can ask questions about the code and revisions are fine. It also feels like a hangout spot since they talk about music and gaming too.
