GGS SMP is a close knit vanilla Minecraft survival server that is coming back with a brand new world opening on February 14th.
It has been running for years and it seems like the big thing here is the community. People join to make friends and then end up playing other games together too.
There are fun minigames that happen on the server like a capture the flag style Trophy Hunt and a server wide game of tag. They also plan new games and they take ideas from players.
The server uses Dynmap so you can see the world in real time and check out builds from a web browser. The rules are simple and basically just be nice and they are posted in the Discord.

The Garden SMP Chill Crossplay Survival

The Garden is a semi vanilla survival multiplayer server that tries to keep the normal vanilla feel but adds extra features to make it more fun.
It supports cross play for Java and Bedrock. Java is recommended for the best experience. The rules are clear and strict about no hacking. No griefing. No stealing. No nonconsensual PvP.
The community is meant to be close and friendly. Staff shuts down toxicity and drama fast. Players are encouraged to build big community projects like towns and shopping areas. Sometimes there are events with prizes.
The server is not pay to win. Store items can be earned through gameplay. Ranks are bought with in game money. You can earn money by leveling jobs. Completing milestones and tasks. Or running a shop. There are also features like McMMO skills, art maps, and resizing your character.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Custom SMP Built to Last

EchelonMC is a fully custom survival server for Minecraft Java and it is made for long term building and teamwork. It is hosted in Canada and it has been in active development for about a month with frequent updates.
It is not trying to be a PvP chaos server. Stealing and griefing are not the point here. The server is built around players working together and shaping how things grow over time.
It has custom coded systems like auto pathing that makes paths under you and gives speed bonuses if you use them and you can toggle it. There is also an in game currency called Echelites that you earn by playing and you can spend it on progression and useful quality of life stuff.
Land claiming is a big deal here with visual borders and per chunk settings plus anti grief protection and controls for things like mobs and TNT and fire spread and raids and fluids. You can also publish chunks so other people can visit your builds and you can get rewards from visitors and move up build rankings.
There is a teams system so you can invite friends share utilities and show team nametags. Deaths make timed graves for your items and there is a /back feature to help you recover after teleports. Voting rewards are built in and there is Discord linking with a chat bridge plus anti x ray protections and a spawn hub with NPC utilities.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVoidWar Risk PvP Factions Progression

VoidWar is a Java 1.21.11 factions server that feels like it wants you to earn everything the hard way. It is built for long term progression and risk based PvP.
The big thing here is custom gear that goes past Netherite. You do not just buy it and you do not pull it from crates. You get it by fighting bosses out in the Wilderness.
Those bosses spawn in areas where PvP is expected. So if you try to kill one you also have to watch for other players trying to take the drop.
Progression is slow on purpose. mcMMO is capped at 99 and farms plus villager enchanted book abuse is heavily restricted. Dying matters too since there is FactionsUUID power loss.
It is in beta right now and they want players who like testing and giving feedback. There is no pay to win and no pay to skip the grind. During beta there is only one cosmetic or convenience rank.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChaos Temple Magic Mayhem Server

I found a modded Minecraft server running on 1.20.1 and it is built around chaos and magic. It feels like a world where stuff can go crazy fast and you are supposed to learn spells and survive the madness.
It is whitelist enforced and it is 16+ so it is meant for older players. The vibe is multiplayer focused so you can team up with friends to explore and build big magical bases.
There are big bosses and creepy monsters and also wild creatures. Mods like Ice and Fire are part of the experience so you can run into tough fights and serious danger. If you like unpredictable survival with magic and chaos this one fits.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLuminary Falls Adult Whitelist Survival SMP

Luminary Falls is a long term survival SMP that feels cozy and story rich. It is made for adults and it is whitelist only with an 18 plus rule. The community is meant to be welcoming and uplifting and it is LGBTQ plus friendly.
The server runs on Java and it also has full Bedrock crossplay. People can use client mods that do not give an advantage like Litematica Xaero’s Sodium and Dynamic Lights.
It keeps the vanilla feel but adds quality of life plugins and datapacks. There are resource worlds so the main world does not need resets and your builds can stay for years. Players are active at all hours and the server sees about 50 unique players each week so it usually feels alive.
To join you read the rules and then you do the whitelist application through the Discord bot.
