I found a community centered survival server that is made by the players for the players. It goes for a Hermitcraft style SMP feel and tries to keep the vanilla experience while still growing when the community wants it.
There is a diamond based economy with a shopping district. People also work on public builds and bigger projects together. Proximity chat is a big part of the server and most players use it.
They also have homes and a few cosmetic and quality of life or fun plugins. New stuff gets added from community requests and polls.
It is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus. They usually have 5 to 20 players on during the day and they say there are hundreds of regular active players. If you want to meet people there are groups looking for new members.
Foggy Willows is a server for people who want real vanilla survival and nothing else. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks.
The vibe is simple and the spawn is not trying to be a theme park. You just join and start playing. It is hard mode so nights can get scary fast.
There is no tp and no sethome so you have to travel the old school way. There is also no world border so exploring can go on forever.
The server is always on the latest stable vanilla version and it is self hosted on a purpose built machine. There are no donations and players are expected to handle their own social issues. Technical minecrafters are welcome too.
I found a Skyblock server called Torrent Skyblock and it just launched Season 2. It is cross platform so more people can play together.
The main thing is building up your island and doing custom challenges. There are minions that help you grow and there are dungeons with crazy loot.
There are events and a spawn egg hunt where you try to find them all. If you want a break there are random mini games like Spleef and Hide and Seek. It also has competitive PVP for people who want to climb to the top.
It feels like a server where you bring friends build your island empire and grind your way up.
AstralyxNetwork is a Lifesteal SMP server that is built for players who want fights that actually matter. When you battle people you can gain power and every win feels like a big deal.
It has custom crates plus ranks and levels. You can also get daily rewards and find custom items while you play. There is a PracticePvP area too so you can train before you jump into real fights.
It is free to play and it says the ranks are free too so it is not trying to lock stuff behind money. It also supports cross play so Java and Bedrock players can play together.
The server supports versions from 1.8x up to 1.21x. They also want everyone to read the rules plus the terms of service and privacy policy before playing so things stay fair.
Vanilla Demon is a next generation vanilla survival server that is built to run the latest Minecraft version without server side lag.
It tries to keep the classic survival feeling but it also has some handy commands. You can jump out to the survival world or wilderness with /wild. You can set a waypoint with /sethome then return with /home. You can also teleport to other players with /tp and check more commands with /help.
The server is set to hard difficulty. Item loss is disabled at spawn. There are no admins mods or helpers in game. The plugins are custom made just for this server and meant to be high quality.
