I found LumaMC and it is a survival server built around Towny. Towny is also the main claiming system so you can start your own town or join other player towns and nations to make friends.
It also has mcMMO so you can level up skills over time. There are custom coded items with special abilities so gear can feel different. The economy is player based and it is about gathering resources then producing and trading so supply and demand can change.
There is a Jobs system so you can work for cash and try to climb the ranks or just try to be rich. There is also a Hoarder plugin where you sell bulk items for extra money and the top 4 players get rewarded at the end of each Hoarder event.
If you like creative stuff there is an Artmap plugin for map designs. The world also has dynamic seasons and the time of day and weather syncs to real life for the northern hemisphere. Fishing has competitions plus custom fishing and even the competition fish are custom.
The server talks a lot about future updates and events. They also want players to share feedback and suggestions so the community can help shape it.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Pay To Win Vanilla Survival

BackToBlocks is a mostly vanilla survival server that tries to keep the classic Minecraft feeling. It sticks to normal progression and focuses on community building and creativity.
You get a few helpful commands like sethome and spawn plus tpa so getting around is easier. There are extra warp spots you can unlock by voting so active players can travel more without changing the main survival vibe.
The server has a community made spawn and the staff runs events. There is a decorated End island and a Nether hub plus a player run shopping district and an item economy.
It is not pay to win and it avoids silly plugins. PvP and raiding are allowed within limits but it is not a PvP focused place and griefing is not allowed. There is also itemflip if you want to gamble items for fun and you can toggle phantoms.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVanilla Hard World No Resets Ever

I found a vanilla server that has a hard world and it has been up for about a month. The main vibe is people building and playing together with no drama.
They ran a server event where a bunch of members got on at the same time to fight some super tough dragons with like 20k HP. It sounds like everyone had a good time and it actually brought the regulars out.
The big promise here is no BS and no resets so your progress stays. If you want a steady place with a real community this one feels like that.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill No Grief SMP With QOL Mods

I found Malgazar SMP and it is a chill survival server where people are not supposed to ruin your builds. The community is pretty active and it is mostly friendly even if there are a few toxic people sometimes.
It is hosted in the UK and it runs on Purpur. It is for official Minecraft launchers only so no cracked clients.
The rules are focused on being safe and fair. No griefing no stealing no scamming no slurs no drama and no cheats like x ray or seed maps. PvP is only if both people agree and you also cannot mess with other peoples pets or animals. If you break rules you can get locked in a cage for some time or get banned.
Keep inventory is on and explosions do not destroy blocks. There is veinminer and mcMMO rankings for stuff like mining and sword. Fishing loot is boosted with tiny chances for rare items. The world border is set to 15k and the outer End islands reset every week. There is also a mod that can undo grief fast and show who touched a block.
People often live near the hub around -1k -1k and the usual online count is around 7 or more with about 470 overall players mentioned.
