This is a semi vanilla server called Gallant that is made by a group of friends who have played Minecraft together for over 10 years. They are mostly in their late twenties and thirties and now they want to make some new long term friends to play with.
The server is for players who are 25 or older so everyone is around the same age. It feels more relaxed and mature and they care a lot about trust and making sure your time on the server is safe.
The gameplay is survival with quality of life features. You can protect your chests with signs. You can vein mine ores by sneaking. Creepers do not break blocks and phantoms do not spawn so it is less annoying at night. Minecarts go faster when you ride them. There is auto swap for the best tool and auto refill for building and both of these can be toggled.
The staff keeps logs of actions so grief can be rolled back if something bad happens. They also keep backups of inventories if there is a death outside normal circumstances which makes the server feel even safer.
Rules are simple. No griefing or stealing. No hacking. General quality of life mods are allowed. Everyone has to treat each other with kindness. PvP only happens if all players agree.
It feels like a place where older Minecraft fans can chill after work and build stuff together without worrying about random kids ruining things.

I found a 4 month old anarchy server where the world is staying for the long run. People say if you build something it actually matters and it is not one of those servers where everyone gets stacked fast then leaves.
It is 1.21.11 survival and it has a huge 1m by 1m world border so you can really go far. It is semi vanilla with stuff like TPA and vote ranks and it also says no pay to win.
Dupes are patched but most exploits are allowed so it feels wild. There is anticheat to keep pvp fair so no reach fly or xray. It is anarchy so you should not trust anyone.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRooted Realm No Wipe Adult SMP
Rooted Realm is a new Java server with a long term world that does not wipe. It is semi vanilla and made for an adult community where the goal is to keep things chill and fair.
They run it with whitelist and rules against grief and theft. Travel is different too since there is no random teleport. Instead there are custom portals that take you to set spots around the world and back to spawn.
The server has a player run diamond currency and a shopping district called the market. Events happen consistently and they also do holiday celebrations. An Easter island area is planned to open at the start of April with special rewards and stuff to do.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRai Nation Session Nations Server
Rai Nation is a session based nations server that runs on Wednesdays Friday Saturday and Sunday. It feels good for players who do not want to log in every day and still keep up.
The main thing here is nation and player interactions. People focus on building up their places and doing diplomacy. War can happen but it is meant to be rare and a big deal. The rules are set up so your work is protected and offline raiding is not the vibe.
There is a merchants village where players trade credits for lots of stuff like enchants and building blocks. Sometimes events happen there too.
The world also has lore and mystery with Unknown entities. In season one Unknown was the main enemy and later it split into five fragments that can show up during sessions. It can turn into combat jump scares or weird dealing so it keeps things unpredictable.
The server works for both Java and Bedrock players and there is a steady community so you usually have someone around to trade with or talk to.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLoungeSMP Semi Vanilla Survival With Weekly Games
LoungeSMP is a semi vanilla survival server made for people who like the Hermit style of playing. It is about building and hanging out and finding a place to belong with kind players.
The server runs custom minigames every week like Spleef and Parkour. People also do player events and chill together in voice calls and talk about random stuff.
There is an economy with jobs plus player warps and player chest shops for trading. PvP can be toggled and it starts off. Keep inventory is on so dying is not a huge setback.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
