LazyCraft is a survival SMP that feels like it is trying to stay simple and fair. It is built around the idea that nothing important is locked behind a paywall so you can just play.
The server has a bunch of free quality of life stuff like fly in your own claim plus extra homes and playervaults. There are also things like graves so getting your items back is easier. It also has stuff like tree feller with auto replant and craftable mob catchers.
The main overworld is a big 32k map that never resets. The nether and end are 16k. Resource worlds reset monthly so there is always fresh space to gather.
PvP is off by default and there are strict no griefing rules. Claims use Lands and you can customize all the flags. Player warps are there too so people can share farms shops or builds.
The economy is player driven with chest shops a shop world with plots and an auction house. You can also earn money from playtime voting and daily sign in rewards. It supports Java and Bedrock on 1.21.x and the community is small active and friendly.

I found Crown SMP and it is a new Java 1.21.8+ server that is looking for players and staff.
The big thing here is player choice PvP. You can toggle PvP in the survival world so you can build and chill. There is also a dedicated PvP world where combat is forced so you can go fight when you want that risk vs reward feeling.
Survival uses land claims so your builds stay protected. If land is unclaimed it is fair game so claiming matters and it feels like smart survival rules.
There is a massive quest system with over 10000 quests. It is gameplay driven so you can explore grind and finish objectives at your own pace.
You can also use jobs to earn money from mining farming building and more. It has leveling prestiges and long term progression for casuals and grinders.
The economy is balanced with player run chest shops and trading. There are also server shops that are tuned to not ruin everything.
Extra stuff includes a mob arena with scalable rewards custom enchants and redstone powered flight that uses fuel. There are cosmetic focused rewards too. The server has a survival world and a PvP arena world.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVanilla Nations War and Diplomacy 1.21.1

I found a Minecraft anarchy server that is all about chaos and doing whatever you want.
The world is only 2500×2500 so everyone is forced close together and it makes fights and raids happen a lot.
It is made to be fun and messy and you can jump in and just try to survive.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLumenor Semi Vanilla Nations Whitelist
Lumenor is a growing semi vanilla server that uses a whitelist so you have to get added before you can play.
It focuses on custom items that get added weekly like tool sets and armor that are hard to obtain.
You can start your own nation or join one that already exists and try to climb the ranks. You can also play as a traveling knight or a merchant and just do your own thing.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
