Golden Nations is a survival server that feels really serious and kind of harsh. It is all about nations and geopolitics where players use war diplomacy trade and smart planning to rise or fall. The world is not huge at first and grows as more people join so everything feels close and important.
The server runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 and you can still join from other versions. There are no elytras and no villagers so you cannot just skip travel or get easy trades. Progression is harder with custom recipes and real 1 to 1 netherite crafting so every upgrade feels like work.
You claim land with a lands style system so borders actually matter and nations can defend their territory. Roads and rails are super important because walking on proper roads is faster and minecarts go way faster on powered rails. This makes infrastructure a real strategy instead of just decoration.
A bunch of normal systems are reworked. The grindstone lets you pull enchants off gear and turn them into books so planning your tools actually matters. Farming is redesigned to be more realistic and balanced so you need to think about how you grow crops. Fishing has custom drops and special items so coastal areas and trading can be really cool.
You can mine mob spawners with silk touch and move them which lets nations build their own dungeons farms and defenses. Maces are super rare because only ten exist on the whole server and each player can only make one with limited enchants. That makes them feel like national treasures instead of just another weapon.
Overall the server is not easy mode at all. It is built for people who want a tough survival world where every decision land claim and build project actually matters and where nations rise and fall because of player choices.

Pea SMP Classic Survival No Teleports
PeaMC is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to feel like classic Minecraft survival. There are no teleports and there are no land claims so you travel the world the normal way and build where you want.
It is whitelisted so people have to apply which helps keep trolls out. The owner and mods are active in game and in Discord and the community is meant to be chill.
The server supports crossplay for Java and Bedrock from 1.7x to 1.21.11. You can form teams and invite friends. PvP is allowed but griefing and stealing from bases is not allowed and spawn killing is not allowed.
There is newbie protection where PvP is off for your first hour unless you disable it. Some destructive PvP stuff is banned like TNT beds respawn anchors end crystals and minecart PvP and maces are banned too. There are a few minor plugins but they are meant to keep the vanilla feel.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPUnscripted Mod Sharing SMP Server

I found a server group called Toxic Network and it is running two modpacks right now. One is Prominence II and the other is FTB StoneBlock 4.
The servers are very new and they want to open more servers later. They host from the EU but they say US players should still feel almost no lag difference.
Prominence II is on version 3.9.17 and StoneBlock 4 is on version 1.8.0.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLegionCraft OneBlock Boss Loot Grind
LegionCraft is a OneBlock server where you start on your island and grind to grow it bigger.
The big thing here is the challenging bosses. When you beat them they drop keys and you can use those for rare loot.
There are crates with epic gear and rewards so you always have something to chase.
It also has chunk hoppers so you can automate your island and focus more on building fighting and looting. The server says it is no pay to win.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad PvP Weekly War Events
