Minearchy is a survival server that feels like an actual community. It runs on Java 1.21.11 and you do not need any mods to join. The server has grief protection so your builds stay safe and there are chest shops so players can trade with each other.
There is a full economy with auctions and warps and it feels pretty balanced. You can level skills with mcMMO so playing and grinding actually gives you more power over time. There is a live Dynmap so you can explore the world in your browser and plan out where you want to build.
The server has daily and weekly quests plus special events so there is usually something to do. They also have dedicated PvP and PvE zones so you can choose if you want to fight players or monsters. The server is not pay to win and everything is earned by actually playing.
There are a ton of minigames like TNT Run TNT Tag BombLobbers Parkour Splegg Prop Hunt Temple Run The Lab Party Games Block Party KitPvP Quake Mini Walls Zombies Squid Game and Among Us. So if you get bored of survival you can jump into fast games and play with others.
New players and experienced players are both welcome and the server keeps getting updated based on what the community says. It feels like a place where you can build grind fight or trade and still be part of the same group.

Join Rai Nations Session Adventures

Rai Nations is a session based nation server where people hop on for set times and go on adventures together. It usually hits 20 plus players at peak and there is room to set up your own nation.
The sessions are scheduled in EST on Wednesday Friday Saturday and Sunday so it works great if you want a second home server without spending your whole week grinding. The staff is friendly and helps you out and the server runs plot points and events.
There is a merchants village where you buy and sell items instead of doing villager trading. The economy uses Credits for most things like materials and enchants. There is also Rai Kurrency that is rarer and you can find it daily in chests and it is used for heavier stuff like Netherite enchants.
There is also lore with Unknown Fragments which are five beings that split from the original Unknown. They can cause wacky shenanigans and it ties back to season one where the server barely defeated Unknown and the fragments scattered.

I found 1fighter2defenders and it is a survival server that tries to stay as vanilla as possible.
It has no gameplay rules at all. There are no admins. There are no land claims and no protection. Griefing building and cheating are all allowed so you kind of have to watch your back.
They also say there are no server sided dupes and no world resets. The server started in April 2021 so it has been around for over 4.5 years with lots of people joining at least once.
It runs on 1.21 and it lets you join on 1.17 through 1.21.11.

I found a scripted Minecraft server that is trying to build a story with people playing different roles.
The server is still small right now so they are looking for more members. They want some people who can record and some people who want main roles too.
They also need players to help make civilizations and run events. If you join early you can try to grab main roles or side roles while there is space.

They added ingame voice chat and there is no pressure to use it. The server also does community events like working on a shopping district buildathons and a weekly lottery.
