Hydro SMP is a survival multiplayer server that sticks to a completely vanilla style with a few performance mods and moderator tools. It stays on the latest version so it feels current and smooth.
The big focus is safety and fairness. Griefing is not allowed at all and the staff uses tools that can inspect and roll back player actions. They also run a strict no tolerance policy for cheating.
The community is a huge part of how it runs. There are over 2200 Discord members and the server choices get voted on by the players so everyone gets a say.
It also uses a custom resource pack for cosmetics like hats plus custom signs and banners. Nothing is meant to change gameplay. You can also expect things like a live map plus proximity voice chat and some VanillaTweak datapacks like the dragon dropping elytra and extra slabs trapdoors and stairs.
The server is hosted in Germany and they say it is built for strong performance with a Ryzen 9 7950X and 24GB of RAM. They aim for 20 TPS and monitor performance closely.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMoshpit SMP Hardcore Raiding PvP Chaos

I found this SMP that is built for PvP and raiding but it still keeps that vanilla vibe. There are no land claims so you can build anywhere and you can also get raided anywhere so it stays intense.
It lets Bedrock and Java players play together. There are player shops plus an auction house and duels if you want fast money.
The server has custom enchants that are meant to stay balanced like 3×3 drills and lifesteal. The terrain is custom but it still looks normal and not weird.
It runs well even on low end PCs. PvE gets harder the farther out you go and there are random world events every 30 minutes that can help you or hurt you or just be strange.
The owner is still working on it and wants feedback and people to help out. You can use the in game command to join the community.
