HermitiaSMP is a small Hermitcraft inspired survival server all about community and working together. It feels like everyone is trying to make something cool and not just speedrun the game.
The server runs weekly events so there is always something going on. Some events are in game some are in real life style challenges and there are even art competitions. It makes it way easier for new players to make friends and be part of the group.
There is optional proximity voice chat so you can talk to people near you in game if you want to. You can join event houses and help earn points for your house with different activities and builds. There are also community builds so players can team up on big projects.
They use a custom HermitiaSMP datapack and some quality of life mods that add to normal vanilla Minecraft instead of replacing it. There are anti grief plugins like CoreProtect to keep builds safe.
The server has a news service to keep players updated and a player run roleplay government. There is server lore coming soon so it looks like the world will have a deeper story over time.
Overall this server feels like it is made for people who like community interaction events and long term projects instead of just playing alone.

Origins Event Server With 100 Players
I found a server that runs Minecraft events and they are almost always themed around Origins. They do apps for new events and they also have a modded zombie event in the works that is taking a while.
Most events split players into 2 or 4 teams and each team gets a specific origin. The host says it is over a week but from past events it usually ends up being about 4 days.
The next event is free for all and you get to pick your own origin. They also warn that the rules are more lenient than a lot of event servers so people should read the rules first.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSwiftServers Free Hosting Zero Nonsense

I found SwiftServers and it is a Minecraft hosting platform that is totally free to use. It is made for people who want to start a server fast without dealing with annoying free host stuff like queues or lag.
They run a custom control panel that they built themselves and it is supposed to be lightweight and easy to use. You can spin up a server in seconds and they support Paper and Spigot so it works for different play styles.
They also talk about safety with DDoS protection and a backup system so you can create and restore backups fast. The specs they list include 1.5 GB dedicated RAM 10 GB NVMe SSD storage a 1 Gbit uplink and an AMD EPYC Rome processor with 8 cores. They also say player slots are not capped.
They say it is really free with no credit card and no hidden fees.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrabCraft Season 6 Vanilla SMP

CrabCraft is a survival SMP that keeps things mostly vanilla. It is aimed at pure Minecraft gameplay with just a few quality of life touches and it is inspired by HermitCraft style servers.

I found a mostly vanilla Java server that feels like a friendly place to just play and chill with other active people.
It stays on the latest Java version and it only uses a couple quality of life plugins like proximity chat and vein miner so the game still feels normal.
The server is heavily moderated so griefing is almost not a thing. The vibe is about a solid long lasting world and a good community and they want nice positive gamers to join in.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
