Dots Stuff SMP is a chill vanilla plus Minecraft server that I found and it feels like a small hermitcraft style world. It is Java and the server is hosted in the UK but they say everyone is welcome to join.
The whole thing is about being community driven. People build together and do fun social events and just hang out with great players. It is not some sweaty competitive server. It is more like a cozy multiplayer world where you actually get to know people.
They use a bunch of quality of life plugins so the game feels smoother but it still keeps that vanilla feeling. The server is non political and they make it clear that it is a safe place for LGBTQ plus players.
It is whitelist only so you need to join the server community and fill out a simple application first. That helps keep out trolls and makes the server feel calmer and friendlier. If you want a relaxed hermitcraft style SMP with a nice community this one seems pretty good.
