I found NisseSMP and it is a HermitCraft inspired survival server with a vanilla plus feel. It supports both Java and Bedrock crossplay so more people can play together.
The vibe is built on trust and fair play. There is no griefing and no PvP so it is more about building and surviving with friends.
There are no land claims so you are expected to respect other players builds. The server also has a player driven economy with shops trading and virtual currency.
It is open access with no whitelist. They also have a live map and the community looks active with around 40 to 60 players online at peak times.

Relaxed Modded Tech SMP With Voice Chat
This is a relaxed modded SMP called L&M Industries. It feels like a chill place for people who want tech mods without a bunch of drama.
The modpack mixes Create with Modern Industrialization plus ComputerCraft and AE2 so you can build machines make factories and set up big storage systems. There are also lots of decoration mods so your base can look super detailed with stuff like workshop style blocks and tiny block building.
The community is small and friendly and they try to keep things simple and enjoyable. They also use Plasmo Voice Chat so talking in game feels more alive and connected.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEventide SMP Whitelist Survival Community

CozyOrigins SMP is a brand new 1.21 survival server that is all about community and building cool stuff together. It is made for players who like to explore and grind skills or just make a big base and chill.
The world is fresh and the server gets updates every week based on what players say. They add new mechanics and quality of life changes over time plus unique items pets and events.
It also has a player driven economy where you can run shops earn coins and trade. They use an infinite spawner economy so the numbers can get wild and they have plans for a custom End update with a high entry cost.
Ranks are here but they are for cosmetics commands and utilities. It is not supposed to be unfair. The staff and community are active and since the server is new early players can help shape what it becomes.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPOTION SMP Custom Abilities Break PvP
This server is a survival SMP built around magic that can flip PvP upside down. The whole point is making custom potion abilities then using them to create broken combos.
People fight solo or roll with groups. There are active clans with alliances and rival teams so it feels like constant power moves.
It also has daily rituals and custom events. Stuff has real consequences so fights and choices actually matter.
Recording is allowed but staff approval is required.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJujutsu Craft Modded SMP Progression Grind
I found a modded SMP called Jujutsu Origins Reborn and the big hook is the Jujutsu Craft mod by Orca. It is a standard survival world but it has a deep power system and a lot to learn.
You use cursed energy and a cursed technique to get stronger. Progression is based on grades and you go from Grade 4 up to Special Grade. If you push far enough you can reach things like domain expansion.
This server is not super casual if you want to climb fast since it takes skill prep and grinding. It can still be chill if you just want to roleplay a character and hang out. They also talk about adding lore later.
To start you join their Discord then you make a spin ticket so your technique can be rolled. If you do not like it there are events and trading so you can try to get something else. You also pick sorcerer or curse and that mainly matters for team events. Then you download the modpack add the IP and jump in with rtp if you want.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
