This is a semi vanilla survival server called Invictus SMP and it is already on season 11. It has been around since 2020 so it feels like a pretty serious long term world instead of something that resets every week.
The server runs in hard mode and has mob leveling so normal mobs get tougher and fights feel more intense. It keeps the vanilla feeling but uses a custom plugin pack that adds cool stuff instead of a bunch of random junk. There are also small vanilla style tweaks that just make life easier without turning it into some crazy modpack.
You can play on both Java and Bedrock so it is easy to join with friends no matter what you use. The hosting is very stable with almost no downtime and there is a live web map and player stats so you can look at the world and see how everyone is doing.
The community seems chill and friendly and they do things like brewery stuff and fishing competitions plus other events. There are lockable chests and little features like shooting stars and being able to sit in chairs so the server feels cozy and lived in instead of empty.
If you want a hard survival world with a steady community and some extra features that still feels close to vanilla this server fits really well.

Posalon is a Minecraft worldbuilding project where the community writes the history.
I saw that players can join nations and take part in politics. You can even try to start your own nation if you get strong enough. The choices players make become part of the official story.
The server uses a movecraft style plugin where you design planes tanks and ships and then actually use them in real battles. There is also a brewery style plugin so you can run a bar and just be a chill bartender if you want.
Players can create new religions and share their prophecies with everyone. You can basically pick any role and if you stay active your actions get written into their wiki so it becomes permanent history.
The server is not just a normal survival server. It is more like a big shared saga that is built by the whole community together.
