Harvest SMP is a semi vanilla survival server that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. It uses simple quality of life datapacks and very few mods so the game still feels like normal Minecraft.
The server is at the very start of Harvest Season 5. The admins want the world to last a long time and they are blocking off The End for a while so new players do not feel super behind. This makes progression slower and gives everyone time to build up together.
The community is made of mature players and they accept all kinds of build styles and experience levels. People on here like to hang out and work on shared areas like a shopping district plus a minigame district and a casino district. There are events for minigames and building contests to make spawn look cool.
There are lots of small datapack tweaks like afk display armor stand posing fast leaf decay double shulker shells dragon dropping elytra and egg miniblocks multiplayer sleep and a few others to make life easier but not crazy. There are also simple mods like a world map viewer a custom heads shop a status mod for content creators and simple voice chat.
The goal of Harvest SMP is to have a strong bond between players and admins and make the server fun for everyone who joins.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHeadrest SMP Season 2 Lore Wars

I found Headrest SMP and it is a Paper server that is starting Season 2 today. It runs on 1.20.10 and it has a bunch of quality of life stuff like Terralith and other structure plugins.
The vibe is roleplay with lore and factions. People build together and also fight other groups when drama starts. PvP is there but it is more like a side thing and not the whole point.
There is a safe zone at spawn where players can build shops and hang out. They also use a simple voice chat mod so talking feels more real.
They have plugins for stuff like no elytra during combat and combatlog and a sit command. The server also says it has a dedicated machine with 20GB of ram and a 5800x3d CPU to help keep lag down.

I found a Minecraft Humans vs Zombies server where both teams are real players. Humans try to survive until the time runs out. Zombies try to infect everyone before that happens.
Humans can hide in stash spots and set up sandbags and laser mines. They can also move around the arenas with pet bats and jetpacks. Zombies get lots of classes to pick from like a Fat Zombie that can break into stash spots and a Hunter Zombie that jumps around super fast.
There is a custom grinding system too. There are smart bot zombies that drop stuff like bundles and power ups. The top mob killers each month can win prizes like VIP ranks and more.
They also run weekly events like gaming nights and double rewards. There are monthly events for leaderboards and top killer so you always have something to chase.
