EchelonMC is a custom survival SMP that tries to not feel like every other server. It runs on modern versions and it is built with its own plugins instead of copy paste packs.
The main idea is simple survival but with extra systems. There is a custom currency you earn just by playing and you can spend it on progression and utilities. You can claim land with visual borders and set per chunk options like mob rules and protection against grief and TNT and fire and fluids.
You can also make public chunks where other players can visit your builds. Visitors help you earn and you can try to climb rankings with your creations. There are teams so you can invite friends and get team nametags and shared utilities.
Movement has a twist too. As you walk you can create paths under you and you get extra speed when using paths and you can toggle this. When you die you get a timed grave that holds your items and there is a back command to help after teleports.
The server has voting rewards plus Discord link features like chat bridge. There is a custom spawn hub with NPCs and different utilities and there are anti x ray protections. The server says it is not pay to win and has active development and patches and wants to evolve with player feedback.
Fresh Lifesteal Vanilla Anarchy Server

I found a new survival server that is mostly vanilla but it uses plugins like lifesteal and voice chat. It is made for people who want chaos but still want a decent community too.
This server is pretty anarchy so you can kill people do pvp betray and grief. It is not a cheat server though since hacks and cheats are not allowed.
Right now it only has a few members so it feels fresh and open. The owner is also thinking about changing things over time so it might evolve.
Version is 1.21.11.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCustom Modded RPG Launch This Saturday

I found a new custom modded RPG server that has been getting delayed a bunch because the team wanted it to be better. People have been watching it for a while and it sounds like they kept pushing the date back for quality.
Now they are saying the last setback should be this one and the server is set to launch this Saturday on the 21st. It feels like a big launch day thing and they want a crowd there right when it opens.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFinland Survival Hub With A Permanent Map

I found a Minecraft server called MinecraftOffline and it runs on version 1.21.11.
It is based in Finland so it should feel smooth for players in Europe. The world is permanent so the map is meant to stick around.
The server also uses a custom plugin suite so it is not just plain default stuff. The hardware looks reasonable too with an i7-8700 64GB RAM two 6TB enterprise drives and a 1 Gbit network.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Survival Where Kindness Wins

Cozy MC is a vanilla survival world on hard difficulty that is all about inclusivity and kindness.
It feels like a normal singleplayer survival world with no fancy spawn and no lobby stuff. There are usually around 40 players online so it feels alive but still chill.
Stealing and griefing gets you banned. They also have tools to fix damage and tools that let players check container transactions so theft can be found and reported.
PvP is only allowed if both people agree. You can still find players doing friendly duels sometimes.
Before you can really play you have to type /rules and /discord and read the Rules section. Until you do that you cannot break blocks or pick up items and it helps keep the community safe.
