Horizoncraft is a community SMP that feels really friendly and chill. When I joined it felt like everyone already knew each other but they still welcomed new players. People talk a lot and the vibes are pretty relaxed.
The server is mostly vanilla survival. Players build everything in survival and the world feels natural. Sometimes the community votes to use creative mode for a special event or project but that does not happen a lot.
Players do a bunch of different stuff. Some people focus on PvP. Some record videos or stream. Around spawn there is a kind of civilization where people build cool bases and share resources. Other players just go off on their own and live in the wild.
There are player made events and little minigames that keep things interesting. Everyone seems to help each other and it feels like the server wants to grow slowly with kind players instead of trying to be super huge right away.
If you want a community survival server with good vibes and different play styles all in one place Horizoncraft is pretty solid.

This is a lifesteal style Minecraft server where PvP actually matters. You gain hearts when you kill other players and you lose hearts when you die. If you lose all your hearts you get banned so every fight is a big deal.
There is a one hour grace period for new players so you do not lose hearts right away. It gives you some time to get gear and learn the server before things get super serious.
The server has simple teleport commands like sethome home tpa and tpaccept so you can move around and play with friends easily. There is a plugin that stops people from using commands in combat and it punishes combat logging by spawning an npc that can still be killed and drops your stuff.
There are protections against crazy speed cheats and against really bad chat spam so things stay somewhat fair. You can spend vote tokens in an in game shop to get custom name colors and custom motds. The server also tracks your playtime kills and deaths and gives rewards when you hit certain milestones.
You can even vote to skip the night by typing goodnight so you are not stuck in the dark if enough players agree.
