This is a survival server called SurvivalMC and it feels pretty relaxed and friendly. It is a semi vanilla style server so it keeps the normal Minecraft feeling but uses some plugins and datapacks to make things nicer to play.
The server runs on version 1.21.11 and lets Java and Bedrock players join together. It has been around since July 21st 2020 so it feels like a long term world that people actually stick with. The owners say it is lag free and that is really good for building and grinding.
There is a plugin called Bluemap so you can look at the world from a map in your browser. That makes it easier to explore builds and see what people are making.
The community sounds active and pretty big with a lot of people talking in their Discord. The staff team is very active too and they try to help as much as possible. The server just did a grand reopening after a break so it feels fresh but still has that older server vibe.
If you want semi vanilla survival with some small quality of life stuff and a friendly group of players this server seems like a good pick.

PolityCraft is a Minecraft server where the whole world is based on Earth but smaller. The map is made to feel like real geography so you can sail along real coasts hike across big forests and climb huge mountain ranges. It is built for exploring and picking a place on the planet that feels like your home.
The server uses MineColonies so you can make towns that actually grow over time. You manage citizens and build up ports mountain bases or inland capitals that really fit the shape of the land. Your colony feels like part of a real world instead of just a random spot.
It also uses the Create mod so you can build working machines and industry. You can set up rail lines connect cities and automate how your colony runs. It makes the world feel like it has real working infrastructure not just empty builds.
PolityCraft is made for long term play. There are no server resets so your towns railways and big projects are meant to last for months and years. The server is backed up every week so your progress is protected.
The community is into worldbuilding and long term progression. People come here to build nations trade routes colonies and giant projects that actually stay on the map.

This server is starting a brand new season and it is built around making YouTube videos.
There is an official event day on January 14. That is when the new season really begins and everyone can hop in together.
From what I can see the server is meant for people who want to play Minecraft and also record or be part of videos. It looks like a place where you can join at the start and grow with the world and community.
If you want to be there when the season starts and be in the early videos you should join on the event day.

I found this server called Oasis and it feels like a really calm place to play. It is a small Java survival SMP that has been running for about two years so it does not feel like one of those random worlds that reset every week.
The server is on the latest version and has some neat custom stuff like furniture and a fishing plugin. It is still survival but it has a few extra features that make things feel a bit more fresh.
There is a simple rank system and jobs you can do to earn in game money. It looks like the staff really want it to be a friendly environment where people hang out build cool bases and join in on events instead of stressing about being the best.
The community is not huge but it seems solid and active with regular events and people who actually talk. If you want a place to relax build and slowly become part of a long term SMP this server is basically built for that.

This is a chill Minecraft network that really likes modpacks and helping new players. The community feels tight knit and people seem friendly and talkative. They say they enjoy teaching newer players how stuff works so it is not scary to join.
The network has time based ranks that unlock commands like fly and god as you keep playing. There are leaderboards and custom quests with new challenges. They also run custom plugins and a farmworld that resets and is pregenerated so you can hunt for structures and explore.
Every dimension is fully pregenerated and there are multiple homes and rtp so it is easy to move around their worlds. There are lots of secrets to find and they say there is a bunch of custom stuff planned in the future so the server is in active development and keeps changing.
They host several modded servers like All The Mods 9 All The Mods 10 ATM10 To the Sky MC Eternal 2 and Prominence 2 Hasturian Era all on the latest versions. The community is pretty global even though the servers are hosted in Germany.
Their main rule is basically do not be an asshole to the server and its TPS. So do not crash things or ruin the performance and check their rules and docs for the small details. Overall it feels like a modded place where you can learn hang out and maybe get jokingly sacrificed in a fun way.
