I found a hardcore vanilla SMP that is meant to be simple and not scripted. It also supports cracked Minecraft.
This server is hardcore so dying matters and the world is just normal vanilla. There is no farlands stuff here.
It has a join and play setup with no application. The play style is basically no rules so people can grief bases and kill anyone.
They also said there are only three maces on the server so everyone is going to fight for them. The goal is to hit 100 members by the start of summer and have an active positive community.

The server leans vanilla but adds quality of life mods that make survival smoother. You get stuff like multiplayer sleep coordinate hud durability pings faster leaf decay and a bunch of small extras like mini blocks and player heads.

ArcticMC is a brand new survival server that mixes towns and faction style fights. It feels chill but you can still claim land build up your place and team up with other groups or start problems if you want.
PVP matters here and they run it with an honor system. The details are in their rules so people know what kind of fights are allowed.
It also has McMMO style skill leveling so you get stronger as you play and unlock abilities over time. There are custom items too and they even have furniture that is entity based so they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and nice valleys. The vibe is calm and friendly and more about hanging out exploring and building without total chaos.

Build protection claimsLatest game versionOptional friend duelsRelaxed build vibesStaff alert system
PurpleSMP is a small SMP that feels relaxed and safe so you can build and play without stressing about griefers or cheaters.
It runs the latest version listed as 1.21.11 and it has both PvE and PvP. PvP is off by default and you can toggle it on if you just want to mess around with friends.
The server uses land claims so your builds stay protected. Every block placed or broken is logged and staff can check it. When you join leave or die your inventory gets backed up and staff can restore it if you lost stuff because someone broke the rules.
There is mcMMO for skill leveling and grinding. There is a player economy with no server shops and no currency so players decide what things are worth. You also get personal vault storage and there is a live map you can view like a web map.
There is no world border so you can travel far and find untouched land. The server also says it runs a strong anti cheat and staff get alerted fast when someone trips it.

I found a small server called 30Timers and it feels like survival but way more chaotic. Every 30 seconds you get a random item. Sometimes it is trash and sometimes it is super rare so you never know what is coming next.
They also built custom systems around it. There is a custom mineral called Chronium with time themed powers. A full armor set can randomly dodge hits and the sword can sometimes hit twice so PvP gets really unpredictable.
There are no land claims here so bases can be raided and griefed if you do not defend them. To help with that you can buy turrets in the shop. The shop offers change every in game day.
The main world called Space uses a custom generator with floating islands. Mines also regenerate ores after they get mined out. The server is in alpha so bugs can happen and they want feedback.

StickCraft is a small modded survival server for 1.21.1 and it feels like Minecraft but with more depth. It is not a huge messy pack and it aims for a vanilla plus vibe that stays fun for a long time.
The main thing people notice is the PM Weather mod. Storms can get intense and the world feels more alive instead of calm all the time.
It also runs Create for big machines and automation. There is Pam’s HarvestCraft for farming and cooking. Biomes O’ Plenty makes exploring look way better.
Progression keeps going too with Deeper and Darker plus a revamped End so it does not just end after the dragon.
For quality of life it has stuff like a minimap recipe help gravestones and backpacks. There is also proximity voice chat which makes playing with others way more fun. The server stays smaller on purpose and tries to build a real community.
