Konohaven SMP is a semi vanilla Java server that feels like a small friend group where everyone is welcome. The community is the main focus. People hang out in voice chat and do events and just chill together.
The server runs on hard difficulty but some annoying stuff is turned off like fire tick enderman griefing and phantoms. It has single player sleep so one person can skip the night. There is no fly no teleport commands and no paid ranks. It is mostly vanilla with some quality of life mods and a live map.
There is a diamond based player run shop economy. This season the rules for shops are very relaxed so you can build what you want and charge what you want as long as you stay friendly. If anything gets toxic staff will step in.
They run lots of events and challenges with special rewards like custom hats and funny knockback sticks. There are karaoke nights holiday events and community build projects. There are also custom item and hat models that use a light resource pack but you do not have to use it if you do not want to.
The server is Java Edition in the 1.21 range and uses Fabric. It is based in the eastern United States. Players come from the US Canada and Europe. You can play with the group or go off on your own if you like solo building. There are also two other servers in the same community one Cobblemon and one bigger modpack server.

Join My New Nation On Eden
I found a server called Eden MC and it plays like a nations server. It has a lot of minor mods that make the game feel more interesting.
A player started a new nation named Solutus and they are trying to get it going. Right now they do not have members so they are looking for people who want to join and help build it up.
If you like nation servers and you want a place to play then this one seems like a good spot to jump in and be part of a new group.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThemed Events SMP With Chill Survival
This is a new Minecraft server that runs small themed events that feel like an smp or a civilization style run. The events can be modded or vanilla depending on what is happening.
There is also a long term vanilla world that stays up for players who do not care about events. It is also good for something to do while you wait for the next event.
They want to add a skygrid world later but it is still being worked on. The server is open to everyone and they are also looking for staff.
Builders are needed the most so if you like building this place will probably want you around.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Earth SMP With Voice Chat
I found an Earth SMP server that runs on both Java and Bedrock so more people can play together.
The world is a scaled down version of real Earth and it already has a bunch of towns and cities made by players. There is a modern New York City with tall skyscrapers and there are also classical style towns in Europe plus more projects all over the map.
It is pretty chill and collaborative and people hang out a lot. The server uses voice chat and it has a live map viewer. It also has cross play support and extra stuff like custom heads custom image maps and custom armor stands.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew ArcticMC Towny Factions SMP
ArcticMC is a new SMP survival server that started only a couple days ago. It has Towny and factions so you can build a town claim land team up or go take your own territory.
PVP matters here but they try to keep it fair with an honor system that is explained in their rules. It also uses McMMO style skills so you level up as you play and unlock special abilities.
The world generation is Tectonic so the terrain looks realistic with big mountains and valleys. There are also custom items like furniture and it is entity based so they plan limits to help with lag.
The vibe is calm and friendly and more chill than chaotic. It seems good if you want to grind build explore or just hang out.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPurpleSMP Chill PVE Crossplay 1.21.11
PurpleSMP is a small survival server that feels simple but still refined. It is mostly PVE and it is meant to be a relaxing place to build on the latest Minecraft versions. PvP is off by default but you can turn it on if you just want to mess around with friends.
It has mcMMO so grinding skills and resources actually feels satisfying. The economy is fully player made since there are no server shops and no server currency.
Your builds are protected with land claims and the server also logs every block placed or destroyed. It even backs up your inventory when you join leave and when you die so staff can help restore items if you lose stuff because someone broke the rules.
There is a strong anti cheat and staff get alerts right away when it triggers. There is no world border so you can go far out and find untouched land and make something huge. You also get a personal vault for extra storage and there is a live map you can view like a google maps style page.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
