Chilltown is a survival SMP that has been running for a long time. It feels super calm and it really tries to stay close to vanilla Minecraft without turning into chaos.
The server world has been around since 2019 and the current world has grown slowly over time. Players have built towns farms and projects so it feels like a real lived in place and not some brand new reset map.
Chilltown is for people who like to play survival at their own pace. The community is mostly adults and people are respectful. It is not pay to win and they do not reset the world all the time so you can build something big and know it will actually stay.
The world is not just random terrain. It uses a custom world that looks really nice. There are also seasons that change how the world looks so it does not feel the same every day.
There are custom mobs weapons tools and enchants but they are made to be balanced and not super overpowered. Land claiming is simple and uses chunks so your stuff can stay safe.
You get a starter kit daily rewards and there is an optional tutorial so even if you join alone you can settle in pretty fast. If you want a place to relax build and maybe stay for a long time this server really fits that vibe.
The server runs on Java version 1.21.11 which is the latest version.

This is a long term Minecraft survival world that is built around trust and kindness. The whole server feels really calm and relaxed. People do not yell in chat and they do not act crazy all the time.
It is vanilla survival so there are no special plugins to claim land or lock chests. Everyone plays fair and griefing and stealing are not allowed. The staff actually pay attention so the rules stay real.
There is no monetization at all. No donations no paid perks and no pay to win stuff. Everyone plays on the same level and just focuses on building and surviving.
Builds are pretty close to each other so the world feels alive. You see other players around you and people help each other out a lot. It feels more like singleplayer with nice neighbors instead of some loud chaotic server.
You can join and walk around right away. To be able to break blocks and pick up items you have to read the rules in their discord from inside the game. After that a player will unlock you by hand so they know you understand how the server works.
The server is made to last for a long time and they are serious about keeping the vibe friendly and welcoming.

I found this ATM10 server called Iperios and it is all about building nations. Players can make their own nation and pick how it is run. You can set up your own government and your own laws and your own ranks.
If you do not want to start from nothing you can just join a nation that already exists. Staff help new players when they join and they give a beginner kit so you are not stuck at the start. The server uses the All the Mods 10 modpack version 5.4 so you need that installed to play.
The server is whitelist so you have to join first and get accepted. After that staff guide you and explain how things work. The whole place feels like it is built around roleplay with rules and nations instead of just random chaos.

The Perch is a survival SMP that really tries to feel like a second home instead of just another random server. The staff focus a lot on what the community wants and they work to keep things calm and free of drama.
The gameplay is survival focused and the world does not reset so it feels long term. The server has a ranking system that levels you up based on how long you play so you unlock perks just by spending time on the server. There is also an economy that tries to stay fair and balanced with lots of player run shops.
The owners want the game to still feel like normal Minecraft. They make small tweaks to make things nicer but they think about how every change affects day to day survival. If you do not like a feature you can toggle it off. Farms and redstone builds are made to work like they do in the base game.
The community is very involved. Players can give feedback with suggestion channels tickets and feedback forms that come out every two months. The team posts weekly change logs so you can see what changed on the server. There are monthly events too so people can play together more.
There is also a web map where you can look at all the worlds. Overall it feels like a cozy survival SMP that actually listens to its players and wants you to stick around for a long time.

Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy Minecraft server that feels super close to vanilla survival. It is made for players who want almost no rules and just want to play the game like it is with real danger everywhere.
The server has almost nothing extra added. There is no pay to win and no teleport commands. You can only use spawn so people far out in the world do not get stuck alone forever. Griefing is allowed and PvP is always on so you have to be careful who you trust.
The world has a giant border of two million blocks so there is a ton of space to explore and build bases. The owner does not reset the map so anything you build or destroy will stay there. It is online all the time and you can join on most Java versions.
There are still a few rules so the server is not totally broken. You cannot use exploits lag machines or dupes. You also cannot spam or be racist or harass people in chat. Phantoms are turned off and only half the players are needed to skip the night which makes survival a bit less annoying.
If you want a raw survival world with almost no protection and you like risk and chaos this server is actually pretty cool.
