ShovelCraft is a semi vanilla SMP that is all about building together and letting the world history grow over time. People make towns and alliances and even have conflicts that turn into stories.
The world is split into two zones. The Green Zone is from 0 to 5k and it has no PvP and no stealing and no griefing. It also has no generated structures so it feels like it is made for builders and trade and lore. The Red Zone starts at 5k and beyond and it has PvP on and stealing is allowed and vanilla structures are there for exploring. Griefing is still not allowed so fights are more organized.
The End is disabled so there are no elytras and no shulker farms. Travel matters more and you move by land and sea and the Nether.
This server is meant to last with no planned resets. The economy uses diamonds. Teams can level up by using diamonds and unlock perks like extra warps shared storage and more member slots. There are also seasonal competitions with lore based rewards like armor trims and shulker boxes. It runs on version 1.21.11 and supports both Java and Bedrock.
Long-Term Builder SMP With Two Zones
Cave Only Semi Anarchy Survival
CaveMC is a semi anarchy survival server that feels like vanilla but more intense. The whole overworld is underground so there is no surface at all. It is a giant cave only world with custom generation made by real Minecraft developers.
Season 2 is out with a fresh start and a bunch of additions. Survival is brutal and you have to be smart to last.
There is also a big expansion called the Wasteland Dimension opening on November 8th. It brings new gear to fight over and huge mega structures with secrets. It also adds its own currency so players can trade and build a new economy. There is a new spawn too and the Wasteland map is custom generated with special features.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTimeNetwork Skyblock Returns Survival SMP Beta
TimeNetwork is a legit Minecraft network that is trying to stick around for the long run. It has a hub server that connects everything so moving between modes feels way smoother.

I found SlashMC and it is an Earth SMP that works on both Java and Bedrock. It is made for Minecraft 1.21 and up and it feels built for a long term survival world.
The main thing is a full scale Earth map so exploring actually matters. It also has separate resource worlds so you can gather materials without messing up the main world too much.
There is land claiming so you can protect your area and manage your territory. The server also leans into meaningful progression with quality of life changes and it pushes cooperation and strategy.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP1.20.1 FORGE MODPACK SERVER HYPE
I found a Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge modded server that runs with a mod setup you grab through CurseForge.
They have a Discord where you can get the mods and also find the server info so you can join once you are set up.
If you want modded Minecraft and do not mind importing a pack this one is made for that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets
I found a semi anarchy Minecraft server that is trying to keep survival feeling like real Vanilla. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City. The world is meant to last since there are no map resets.
You can join on Java from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11 and they recommend 1.21.10 to avoid issues. The world border is huge at 2 million blocks so you can travel far and still find space.
PvP and griefing are allowed and there is no pay to win. There is no teleporting and the only command they allow is /spawn so people far out can get back to civilization. Nether roof access is allowed. Phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They still block some stuff like exploits lag machines duping spamming and harassment or racial slurs in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
