Dominion SMP is a Hermitcraft style survival server that has been running for about a month. It is made for people who want a long term world where players actually stay and build together and not a server that resets every month.
The server is Java 1.21.9 and it is close to vanilla. It has a focus on survival and building and has a player run shopping district so people can trade and make cool shops. There is BlueMap and proximity chat so you can see the world and talk to people who are near you. TNT duping is allowed and there are some quality of life datapacks but no teleport commands like tpa or sethome.
The community is mature and friendly and feels like a tight group. They are running a community event right now so it is a good time to join and meet everyone while you start in the world together.
Rules are simple. No griefing or stealing or harassment. No hacks or exploits. PVP is only if both players agree and everyone is expected to build responsibly.
You need to be 16 or older to join and you are asked to put real effort into your application. You should be honest about any past bans and mention any friends already on the server. If you want a chill SMP where people actually stick around and build cool stuff together Dominion SMP fits that really well.

V+ Vanilla SMP Starts Soon
I found a server called V+ SMP and it is like vanilla but expanded so it still feels normal to play. You can join with a normal Minecraft install so it stays simple.
It has improved vanilla style features and a bunch of quality of life changes. The main vibe is geo political towns and nations where people can team up and do diplomacy and stuff.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLong Term Nations PVP Worldbuilding SMP
I found an SMP that is all about world building made by the players. People can build towns and turn them into nations and the map is shaped by whatever everyone decides to do.
You can PvP if you want and there is lots of room for drama with alliances and betrayals. The vibe is controlled chaos with no scripts so the stories come from real players.
They want more active players especially from the Asia region but anyone can join. It is meant to be long term with years of development and story telling and they also say there will be no resets.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRuby Civ Crossplay Chill Civilization Server
Ruby Civ is a new Minecraft server that has been up for about a week. It has around 20 active players so it feels busy but still easy to know people.
The whole point is civ style play where you can create your own civilization or join one that already exists. Most people are here to build and chill and just have a good time.
The admins and the community seem really nice. The owner is also proud of the anticheat so it feels protected from weird stuff.
It is crossplay so more people can join together. The vibe is relaxed so just pick a group or start your own and build something cool.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFoggy Willows Real Vanilla Survival
Foggy Willows is a server for people who want real vanilla survival. It runs on the normal minecraft-server.jar with no plugins and no datapacks.
The spawn is simple and not packed with a bunch of stuff to read. You just join and play how you want and build what you want.
It is hard mode and there is no tp and no sethome. There is no world border and the server stays on the latest stable vanilla jar.
It is self hosted on a purpose built machine and it does not take donations. Players are expected to handle their own social issues so it feels more wild and honest. Java players can join and there is a Discord too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBedrock Realm For Long Term Builders
Dinguses United is a Bedrock Realm that has been running for years and it is made for people who want a world that actually lasts.
It is mostly for dedicated builders and long term projects. The community is chill and respectful and there are community districts plus collaborative builds so you can team up with others.
The realm avoids constant resets and it is not a chaotic place. Moderation is kept light but it still protects builds and stops power trip stuff.
It is survival with some quality of life add ons and an End overhaul for deeper late game progression. The textures stay vanilla so it still feels like regular Minecraft.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
