This is a community centered SMP that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. It is made by the players for the players and people actually hang out and play together.
The server is survival with a diamond based economy and a shopping district. There are public builds and big projects that everyone can join in on. A lot of players use proximity chat too so it feels more social when you are exploring or building.
They try to keep the vanilla vibe while still adding a few cosmetic and quality of life or fun plugins. New stuff gets added from community requests and polls.
It runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it is Java only. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only.

Underrated SMP With Lifesteal And Set Home

I found a survival multiplayer server that feels different from the huge SMPs. It is not packed with tons of players and it does not feel like the economy is ruined.
The owner is really kind and generous and helps new people get started. There is a mace plugin and a lifesteal plugin. You can also use set home so getting around is easier.
It feels underrated and it stays online a lot. The owner might add voice chat if players want it.

This is a vanilla Minecraft server that has been running for about a year. A group of friends started it and they want more people to join.
Most players are university students and they have played Minecraft for a long time. The main idea is to keep the same world going for the next few years.
You can join solo or bring your own friends. You can build your own little community or even a whole city. The coolest part is seeing what other people create in the same world.

HavenCraft is a chill survival SMP where people actually build and explore and try to make friends. It feels inspired by Hermit style gameplay so it is more about projects and community stuff than chaos.
I noticed it keeps things fair with no pay to win. The gameplay is vanilla plus so it still feels like normal survival but with extra helpful stuff.
It has proximity voice chat using Simple Voice Chat so you can talk when you are near people in game. There is also a live 3D map with BlueMap which makes it easy to see what the world looks like.
There are player shops and community builds so you can set up a store or help make big shared areas. It sounds like a friendly place for mining and relaxing or going all in on a huge base.
