PlayCraft is a new Java survival SMP that is semi vanilla and on hard mode. The world is super fresh and has only been running for about two days so it feels like everyone is starting together.
Achievements are on and one player sleep is enabled so nights do not drag. The server is adults only and you have to be 18 or older.
The rules are simple and it is meant to stay chill. No griefing no stealing no cheating and no pvp unless both players agree.

Aussie Friendly Towny SMP No Grief

GamerHub Towny is a small Towny and SMP server with a chill community and a no grief vibe. It is also no reset so your builds and towns are meant to stick around.
People mostly play in the mornings to early afternoon AEST when the US players are on then it gets active again late at night AEST when EU wakes up. There are already some Aussie players on in the evenings too so you are not alone.
The server has Towny so you can build claim and grow a town. It also has jobs MCMMO and ranks plus dynmap. There are player warps player shops and a sell only server shop.
Rules are simple no stealing no toxicity and no war. New players get help and staff applications are open in game. It supports 1.21.x and has a Bedrock port too.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTech and Magic Origins RPG Realm

I found a newer server that is built around a custom tech and magic modpack and it is meant to last a long time. The main vibe is role play and RPG style survival with a big community focus.
Players get a lot of choice in how they play because of the origins setup. You pick things like a race and class and magic alignment and a background plus a second class. There are tons of options so it is easy to make a unique build and grow stronger over time with the skill system.
The tech side is based around create so people can build factories and trains and make big projects. There are also options for players who do not want to be magic users so you can still fit into the world.
Exploring sounds like a huge part of it with lots of dungeons and structures and scary creatures across the realm. You can claim land and build kingdoms and factions and guilds using the claim and colony tools. It is a keep inventory server and it is less than two weeks old.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEvents And Giveaways New Server Soon

I found a Discord community that is doing events and giveaways.
They say a Minecraft server is coming in the future so it feels like a place to join early and meet people before it opens.
Right now it looks mainly like a community hangout where the main thing is joining in on the events and giveaways while waiting for the server.

This is a freshly started crossplay survival server with a lifesteal twist. It keeps things close to vanilla with only a few plugins so it still feels like normal Minecraft.
The player count is low right now since it just began. That means you can get in early and try to rise above everyone.
There are very few rules so players get a lot of freedom while they play.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAshenreach Beta Hardcore Survival Realm

Ashenreach is in beta right now and it is a one week testing phase before the real launch. You can join early to get a headstart on your claim with your team and help spot bugs and balance stuff.
This is a long term survival world where what happens actually matters. The map is persistent so builds can get conquered or lost and the history sticks around. It is not a minigame thing and it is not meant to wipe all the time.
The world uses custom made terrain with handcrafted regions and structures. Travel routes are intentional so exploring feels more like a real place and less like random chaos.
Healing is slower like UHC style. You have to plan for fights and trips and use downtime instead of just instantly healing forever.
There are custom relics getting added across the map with a tracking system to hunt them down. Some can be hidden underground or locked in bases or even carried by other players.
Enchanting is not easy and max gear is not expected. Fights are supposed to feel conclusive so skill and preparation matter more than just stacked items.
