Over The Hill Gamers is a whitelisted SMP made for adults who have busy lives but still want to chill and build with friends. Most players are around 30 to 40 plus and the server is a 21 plus community.
It is pure vanilla survival on hard difficulty. The vibe is peaceful with no PVP and no griefing so you can focus on mining and building.
The world does not reset so you can take breaks and come back later and your builds and items will still be there. The server is US based and privately owned and it is meant to stay stable and lag free.
They also keep the rules simple with no weird stuff and no land grants. It runs on Java 1.21.11.

Hydra SMP Small Semi Private Survival
casual multiplayer survivalchill survival playLimited member capsimple vanilla feelsmall group survival
Hydra SMP is a new survival SMP that is trying to stay small so it feels fun and not overwhelming. It starts with just a few people so you can actually get to know everyone and make friends.
The server plans to become semi private once the member count gets to around 15. After that it sounds like they will slow down on letting new people in so the community stays tight.
Rules exist but they are not super strict. Just make sure you know them before you play since breaking rules can lead to a ban.

I found a small modded server called Fools Ambrosia and it is really big on roleplay and story. The whole world has this myth vibe with immortals and mortals and a long history of wars and fallen gods. Now there are only four gods left and they made something new which is you.
The server says it is roleplay first and gameplay second. They do regular scheduled events for several timezones and some are casual and some are super lore heavy. They also say any character can become important in the story if you actually show up and take part.
It runs on a lightweight NeoForge modpack with around 160 mods and they claim it can work on a potato. They also talk about having a custom made server backend and a friendly admin team that keeps putting in effort so the server lasts.
Mods mentioned include Origins with 16 choices and Biomancy 2 if you want the weird flesh stuff. The big question is if players keep the peace or repeat the old wars for power.

This is a semi vanilla SMP where the world gets built by the players. People make towns and nations then try to keep them alive.
PvP is on so it can turn from friendly to brutal fast. You can make friends and form bonds then break them when the drama hits.
They want more active players from the Asia region but anyone can join. The plan is for a long term server with years of development and story telling and it is supposed to feel like controlled chaos with no scripts.

I found a small Minecraft server rental setup that was made by someone who got tired of typical hosting problems.
They focus on what actually helps performance like strong single thread CPU power and fast NVMe storage so chunk loading feels quicker.
It is meant to be simple to set up for PaperMC and Purpur and it is aiming for stable TPS even when plugins are running. It is still small but a few servers are already on it.
