Foxden is a small semi vanilla survival server where the owner is active and the community is pretty chill. It feels like a place for people who just want to hang out and play Minecraft without too many crazy plugins.
The server has a brand new map so everyone can start fresh together. It runs some extra stuff like Bluemap a head index and discord integration plus a bunch of small datapacks and little tweaks to make things more fun while still feeling like normal Minecraft.
The rules focus on keeping the server calm and friendly. There is no griefing no stealing and no using other peoples farms or villagers unless they say it is ok or they mark it as public. PvP is only allowed in minigames or when both players agree. The staff can warn temp ban or perm ban if someone keeps breaking the rules.
You have to be in the discord to play but you do not have to talk if you do not want to. People on the server sometimes swear and might talk about stuff that is not for younger kids so players are expected to be mature enough to handle that. Overall it feels like a relaxed survival SMP where people respect each other and just want to build and mess around together.

Moshpit SMP Hardcore PVP Economy Chaos

I found a survival server called Moshpit SMP and it feels like it is trying to keep that vanilla vibe but still add some extra stuff to do.
There are no land claims so you can build anywhere and people can raid anywhere too so it stays intense and you have to be smart. It supports both Java and Bedrock so more friends can join.
It has player shops and an auction house and you can do duels if you want quick money. The server also has custom enchants that are meant to be balanced like 3×3 drills and lifesteal. The terrain is custom but it still fits in and does not look weird.
They said it runs fine even on low end PCs. The PvE gets harder the farther out you go and there are random world events every 30 minutes so stuff can help you or mess you up. The owner is still working on it and wants feedback and even people to help.

I found a small hardcore vanilla SMP that keeps it simple and tense.
It is true vanilla so there are no ranks and no pay to win. There are no extra commands outside the normal vanilla ones.
The world border is massive so there is still tons of space to explore and plenty of loot to grab.
It supports both Java and Bedrock with crossplay and multi version support. It runs the newest version with the copper golem update.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWinter vs Summer Hardcore War Experiment

This is a hardcore social experiment server where you pick a side and try to survive with only one life. It is split into two islands with totally different vibes and that is where the wars and alliances start.
Winter is a harsh frozen wasteland but it has rare minerals and strong resources. Summer is easier and more fertile but it can get crowded fast and that turns into chaos.
Simple Voice Chat is required so every deal and threat is face to face. The event runs in weekend sessions so people actually show up at the same time. The whole thing is being recorded for a YouTube movie so whatever happens is going to be part of the story.
It supports Java 1.21.1 and Bedrock. There is a global economy to fight over and control if your side can pull it off.
