UnitedFront is a geopolitical SMP set on a full scale Europe map. It is not just basic survival because the main focus is politics war diplomacy and conquest.
Players run their own governments so you can see stuff like democracy monarchy or dictatorship. Nations can go to war and do sieges. People also make laws do elections form alliances and even try coups.
The big idea is that nothing is scripted and admins do not control the outcomes. The players decide what happens and they write the history.
It supports cross play so Java and Bedrock players can be on the same server.

Ordinary SMP is a vanilla survival server on Java 1.21.11 and it stays updated with the newest stuff. It feels like a tight knit place where people build together explore and just chill.
The server is whitelisted so the player base stays respectful. If someone griefs or steals they can check what happened with Ledger so builds are not just left ruined.
There is a live BlueMap so you can see the world and plan builds. There is Simple VoiceChat so talking in game is way easier. There is also an AudioPlayer for custom audio.
They also have dragon elytra drops and a custom resource pack with cosmetics trophies and event rewards with a HermitCraft inspired vibe. They run server wide events like PvP battles build contests and big community projects so there is usually something going on.

Potcor is a semi vanilla survival server with roleplay and lore stuff that started on October 25th and it is still going. It is mainly a Java server but it also lets Bedrock players join and it even supports cracked players.
The server is hosted in Asia and most players are from the Philippines. The world has a 25000 by 25000 border so there is a lot of space to explore. It runs on version 1.21.11 and they say anyone can join.
Some items are disabled like end crystals respawn anchors elytra and netherite. There is also a limit of two maces per player. It is still vanilla style though so you have free will to do your own thing.
The rules are simple. Do not grief unless it is justified or important to the lore. Do not make overkill farms. No cheats and be civil.

CozyCraft is a calm survival server that feels old school and simple. It is made for people who want to build for a long time and not deal with drama.
The world is meant to last forever so there are no map resets or seasonal wipes. PvP is off so it is all about working together and just surviving.
It stays close to vanilla with only a few plugins. There is no pay to win stuff and the gameplay is slow and natural which makes it great for big long term builds.

I found a Minecraft server called BudderCraft Network and it has a Tower Defense mode that feels like those classic defense games where you stop mobs from reaching the exit.
The Tower Defense mode is the main thing they push and it already has a lot going on. There are 15 different towers and 5 classes so you can try lots of play styles while you fight through 25 waves.
Each map has 5 difficulty choices. Beginner is super chill and expert is meant to be brutal since even the owner has not beaten most maps on that setting.
The upgrade system is grid based and you only get 9 upgrades so you have to pick carefully. Towers have a bunch of upgrades to choose from and you unlock paths as you go. You also get 7 targeting options so you can control what your towers focus on.
Rounds are preset so you can learn them and it is not just random luck. There are 9 3D maps and the terrain can block tower attacks so placement matters. After you win you can keep going in an optional freeplay mode that ramps up.
