This is a vanilla style SMP that just reset and uses amplified terrain. Right now everyone is crammed inside a 2k by 2k world border so bases are really close. You see tiny starter bases popping up everywhere and players starting to plan shops and trades.
The community feels active and busy. People hang out in the discord and talk about deals for items and building spots. They share screenshots of the crazy amplified hills and cliffs and the chat is always moving when new people join.
The rules are pretty strict in a good way. No griefing no stealing and no unconsented PvP. No racism or hate speech and no NSFW stuff. Everyone is supposed to be mature respectful and keep things drama free. It really feels like a place where people just want to build and hang out.
To get on the server you apply first then if you get accepted you get added to the whitelist. It makes the world feel safer since not just anyone can log in. This is season 2 and they already have photos from a previous season so it seems like a long term world.
If you want a close community with amplified terrain and a fresh reset this server looks really fun.
Rooted Realm No Wipe Long Term

I found Rooted Realm and it is a long term Minecraft world that never wipes. It is semi vanilla and it tries to make playing feel more rewarding for different kinds of players.
There is no random teleport. Instead there are custom portals that take you to set places in the world and you can also get back to spawn.
The economy is run by players and diamonds are the currency. There is a shopping district called the market where people can set up shops.
They do consistent events with special rewards and they also do holiday stuff. They said an Easter Island area is opening at the start of April with special rewards and things to do.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermit Style SMP With Proximity Chat
This is a community centered SMP that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. It is made by players and shaped by what the group wants. The goal is to keep the vanilla experience but still grow over time when the community votes for changes.
The server uses 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 vibe and a lot of players actually use it.
There are homes and a few extra cosmetic and quality of life plugins. New ideas come from community requests and polls. It is Minecraft 1.21.11 on Java only. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus. You will usually see around 5 to 20 people online and there are lots of regular players plus groups that want new members.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi-Anarchy Vanilla Survival NO RESETS
I found a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City. The world is huge with a 2 million block border and it is meant to be long term with no map resets.
You can play on Java versions from 1.7.2 to 1.21.11 but they recommend 1.21.11. The server stays online 24 7. PvP and griefing are allowed and there is no pay to win. There is no teleporting and the only command they allow is /spawn so people far out can get back toward civilization.
A few small changes are there like nether roof access being allowed. Phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night. They still block stuff like exploits lag machines duping spamming and harassment or racial slurs in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCave Only Semi Anarchy Survival
CaveMC is a semi anarchy survival server that feels like vanilla but turned up. The whole overworld is underground so there is no surface at all. It is just caves forever with biomes resources and structures.
Season 2 is live so it is a fresh start with a bunch of new stuff. Survival is brutal and you really have to figure things out if you want to last.
There is also a Wasteland Dimension opening on November 8th. It has new gear to fight for huge mega structures with secrets and its own currency for a player driven economy and trading. It also comes with a new spawn and a custom generated map with special features.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad Warfare PVP Events
Frontline Combat is a modded team based pvp server with a squad and battlefield style feel. It is all about fighting with your team and working together.
The server runs regular events every week. They also try to make the events better each time with their own custom mods and new content.
It is Java only and they are looking for more players to grow the community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
