This server is called HoneySMP and it is run by a small group that really wants a close community. It is not one of those giant servers where you feel like a number or you instantly hit a paywall. Here it feels like people actually notice when you join and talk.
The main vibe is community focused survival. At spawn there is a community chest area where you can take what you need and leave what you do not need. That makes it way easier for new players to get started and not feel super behind.
They do weekly events like Elytra races and a custom thing called Honey Heist where people hop in voice chat and play together. It sounds more like hanging out with friends than just grinding alone.
The server does not do pay to win. Everything like ranks and keys can be earned just by playing the game. So if you like grinding and feeling like you earned stuff this is good.
There are some unique features they coded. One of them is key forging where you can combine keys and try to upgrade them into better tiers. There is also a player driven economy where you can sell farm goods and run shops.
The server supports both Java and Bedrock so friends on PC Xbox PS5 or mobile can all play together. They are looking for builders redstoners and explorers who want a place to stay for a long time and make it their home.

BlackBannerSMP No Wipe Anarchy 1.21+

I found Black Banner and it is a strict 1.21+ anarchy server that is built to last.
There are no wipes and no seasons and no soft resets. The world is meant to keep going for as long as Minecraft exists so everything that happens stays.
There are no gameplay rules and no protections and staff will not step into player fights. Griefing raiding theft traps and KOS are part of how it works and it is also not pay to win.
The only real rules are no IRL doxxing and do not try to lag or crash the server. It is made for uptime not for fairness.
It supports Java and Bedrock Edition and it runs on stability focused stuff with a conservative update policy.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPClassic 2014 Prison Grind Is Back

The Pen MC is a classic prison server that feels like the old 2014 style where you actually have to grind. There is no instant selling and you are not meant to get overpowered right away. You mine and you smelt ores yourself then you take the risk of going through pvp zones to sell.
Progression is a full rank ladder from A to H and then you can reach Parole. After you max out ranks you can prestige and you can pick how you want to keep progressing instead of being forced into one path.
Mining is the main old school vibe but there are other ways to earn too. There is custom fishing that can keep up with the grind. There is a mob arena with waves and boss fights where groups can earn money and shards through combat.
There is also a cookie farming bakery system where you farm wheat and cocoa then bake cookies with custom mechanics. You can do long term cookie quests compete on leaderboards and turn baked cookies into higher tier rewards.
The server also has guards that enforce contraband rules plus illegal crops that are high risk and high reward. You can rent cells and plots use an auction house place bounties do parkour challenges and run player shops. They say pay to win is not the point since premium stuff can also be earned by playing.
