This is a public survival server that has been around for years and it feels very stable and long term. It runs a mostly vanilla style of Minecraft so the game feels like normal survival without a bunch of crazy plugins.
There is claim protection so you can protect your base but grief is allowed in places that are not claimed. The overworld and nether are long term and are not planned to be reset so you can build big projects without worrying they will get wiped.
The server has no whitelist and no pay to win stuff and there is no money or economy plugin built in. There is a public shopping district that players can apply to build shops in. You can use commands like rtp to teleport to a random place and set a home when you find a spot you like.
Both Java and Bedrock players can join and play together. There is an online world map you can view and the server uses CoreProtect to help look after the world. Chat reports are turned off and basic server rules are listed on their site for everyone to read.
Overall the community feels like a chill survival crowd that wants a long term world with fair rules and no pay to win features.
MinedHype SMP Long Term Survival

Join Our Aternos Survival Crew

I found a Discord group where someone is trying to start an Aternos Minecraft server with a friend and they want more people to join.
It sounds like a simple setup that is more about getting a bigger group together and playing with others.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNexus SMP Mature 18+ Fabric Survival

Nexus SMP is a mature and chill Minecraft SMP that is strictly 18+. It runs on Fabric 1.21.11 and it is built for people who want a tight knit group and long term builds where life comes first.
The community is kept smaller on purpose so it does not feel massive or random. They use Ledger so griefing and stealing are easier to deal with and your stuff is safer.
There is also a Creative server that matches the SMP settings so you can test redstone or big builds before you spend materials. They use a few required client side mods like Simple Voice Chat and Discord integration plus some QoL mods and Axiom for the Creative server.
Joining is whitelist only with an application that checks the rules and a short interview with staff to make sure you fit in.

Kingdoms of Elysium is a modded faction RPG server that feels very social and very chaotic. It is built for player politics and big choices and constant interaction. The world is magical and it uses Apotheosis and Iron Spells.
It is not the usual factions style with safe land claims and quiet towns. PvP is more about tactics and planning than just having the biggest group or the most free time. Being brave or sneaky can pay off more than grinding all day.
The economy is risky on purpose. You have a balance system but also physical money so you can carry gold and risk losing it if you die or hide it somewhere safe.
It also avoids scripted roleplay and avoids admin driven outcomes. Stuff like morality and war and logistics and your reputation pushes the story instead. Towns can be built or attacked and they can have NPCs and lore and religions and rituals.
Progression is slowed and expensive gear costs more and the server focuses on early game variety. Boss drop gear is randomized so items roll different stats and you have to think about your build and not just armor value.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBRAND NEW Perma-Death Hardcore SMP

I found a Hardcore SMP where death is forever and it is built for people who want real consequences. There are no revives and no second chances so if you die you are done.
The world is massive at 300000 by 300000 blocks and PvP is on everywhere. Raiding and griefing are allowed too so you always have to watch your back.
It stays close to vanilla but uses a few plugins to make Hardcore better without changing the main feel. I saw stuff like player heads, taking loot from dead players Ender Chests, Simple Voice Chat, and deep stat tracking.
The cool part is the history feels real because players make it all happen. Big players and alliances rise up claim land then eventually die and leave it behind for the next people.

Arcamere is a new modded SMP that is all about world building and roleplay. It feels like a place where people actually talk to each other and make stuff together. Players build towns and write lore and even make conlangs. Some people draw art or write music too and there is voice chat and regular chatting.
The mod pack is meant to make farming better and add quality of life and boost performance. It also supports artistic creativity. The world is custom and huge at 10x10k with realistic biomes so exploring and settling down feels more special.
They also run server events and there is a meta plot with lots of chances for RP. The staff team sounds active and they listen to suggestions from the community. The server runs on Java Edition 1.21.1.
