Golden Nations is a geopolitical Minecraft server where players make nations and try to survive politics and war. You can lead with diplomacy or just go full conflict and see who lasts.
It runs on version 1.21.11 and the world is 5000 by 5000 so people are forced to interact early. With no elytras travel and borders matter a lot.
The economy is player driven so the market is controlled by players. You can still sell food crops and ores but the rest is shaped by trading and what nations decide to do.
Wars are high stakes because if you die in an official war you get banned for 24 hours and your character is fully reset. Fishing is also changed with custom loot tables so it can give rare stuff that matters.
There are no villagers so there is no infinite trading and no easy shortcuts. It feels competitive and every alliance and betrayal can change the map.

EchelonMC Custom SMP Built To Last

EchelonMC is a fully custom survival server on Java and it is made for long term building and teamwork. It is not about PvP or stealing or griefing so it feels way more chill and serious for people who want a lasting world.
The server is still new with about a month of active development and it gets frequent patches. It is built from the ground up with custom coded systems and it has no pay to win stuff. The features and balance are shaped by player feedback so it keeps changing in a good way.
There is auto pathing that makes paths under you while you walk and you can get speed bonuses on them and you can toggle it. You also earn Echelites currency just by playing and you can spend it on progression utilities and quality of life.
Land claiming is advanced with visual borders and per chunk settings plus anti grief protection and controls for mobs TNT fire spread raids and fluids. You can publish public chunks so other players can visit builds and you can earn rewards from visitors and climb build rankings.
There is a teams system so you can invite friends share utilities and show custom team nametags. Deaths make timed graves that hold your items and there is also /back to help you recover after teleports. It also has voting rewards discord linking with a chat bridge a spawn hub with NPCs and anti x ray protections.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Normal SMP Launching Feb 20

I found a normal SMP that is launching on Feb 20. It is meant to feel simple and close to vanilla.
There is no economy system and it is not modded. It uses only a few plugins but they are not supposed to change gameplay much.
The server supports crossplay and it is up 24 7. They also say there will be no resets so your stuff can stick around long term.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNoF3 NoRegen Hardcore Survival 18+

I found a survival server called NoF3 and it is built around playing without the F3 menu. That means no coords and no normal debug info. The idea is you have to learn the world by traveling and making landmarks. Roads and transport builds matter a lot more. Maps and lodestones actually feel useful.
The server is whitelisted and it is strictly 18 plus so everyone is around the same maturity level. It also tries to make the Nether feel like something you conquer not something you skip. Nether roof use is not the vibe here and they want tunnels and real infrastructure. They also use a mod so portals remember where you came from and you do not have to do coordinate math even though the 8 to 1 ratio is still respected. Minecart experimental speed is enabled up to 120 blocks per second.
Natural regeneration is turned off so fights and early game are scary. Healing is more about planning like suspicious stew with regeneration and they added slow healing with honey bottles as a balance option. There are more changes too like villager trade rebalancing. Looting can go on axes. Mending is disabled and unbreaking does not work on elytra.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCustom Modded Medieval Fantasy RPG Server

This is a modded medieval fantasy RPG server that is still being developed. It is heavily edited and built around a custom modpack made with KubeJS and Astages. It adds new items and mechanics to fit an RPG style.
The world has a custom map and lore. There are lots of dungeons plus cities and towns to explore. There is also big open wilderness where players can build their own towns and cities.
The server uses a roleplay ruleset so people can make medieval dynasties or companies. There is also a job system that locks some recipes or items behind certain jobs. This pushes players to work together and set up supply lines to get what they need.
They are looking for people to help with building or other parts of development. They also run competitions where players can win Discord Nitro or a contributor role or small amounts of money.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Vanilla Anarchy Starts Soon

Ice Creams Smp is a vanilla anarchy server with no shop and no economy. It is meant to feel like straight Minecraft where players make their own stories.
There are basically no rules except a few small ones for quality of life. If you like chaos and freedom this is the vibe.
The server has not started yet so it is a really good time to join early and get ready for the start.
