MineRealm is a public SMP server that has been online since 2010 and a lot of players have joined over the years. It feels like a long term survival world with people who actually stick around.
The server keeps things legit with no pay to win and no item spawning. It stays close to vanilla but it also has a few custom plugin features meant to help the community and make survival last.
The map is smaller and it expands over time. New land generates in the latest Minecraft version so you still get updated terrain as the world grows.
Builds are meant to be safe here since the server uses a classic plot system and grief protection with CoreProtect. There are no world resets so what you build can stay for the long run and players have made the world without prefab hubs.

Fresh Asian Semi Anarchy SMP
I found a private application based SMP that is aimed at Asian players and it has that semi anarchy vibe.
It is mainly about PVP and making content but you do not need to make videos to play.
The server has not started yet so nobody is ahead and it uses simple voice chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMortal SMP Anarchy With Immortality Star
Mortal SMP is a Java anarchy server that is all about chaos and fighting with friends.
The big thing here is a custom item called the Immortality Star. It gives you near immortality so people gear up and battle over it.
There is also an epic End fight. Players are pushed to team up make a group and go for the star.
They want it to stay teen friendly and comfortable so they are looking for ages 13 to 16. The server is hosted on Aternos and players can get startup access so you can play when you want.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMythvale Towny Nations Crossplay SMP
Mythvale is a survival worldbuilding server where players build towns and nations and basically run the whole story. It is a geopolitical kind of place so alliances and rivalries actually matter.
You can start a small settlement then claim land and grow it into something big. The world is custom made for exploring and picking a good spot to build.
There is a player run economy so trading resources and services is a big deal. Politics is also player driven so diplomacy can save you or get you into trouble.
When things turn serious the server uses Towny and SiegeWar so nations can fight over territory. It is launching soon and it supports both Java and Bedrock on version 1.21.11.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Towny Factions SMP With Honor PVP
ArcticMC is a brand new survival server that mixes Towny and factions so you can start a town then claim land and team up with other groups or fight over territory.
PVP matters here but it is not just random chaos. They run an honor system and they explain it in their rules so fights are supposed to stay fair.
It also has McMMO skills so you level up while you play and unlock abilities as you get stronger. There are custom items too and even furniture that is entity based so they plan chunk limits to help with lag.

HavenCraft is a chill survival SMP that feels a lot like the Hermitcraft style. It is made for people who want to build explore and make friends without everything turning into chaos.
It sticks to a fair play vibe with no pay to win. The gameplay is vanilla plus so it still feels like normal Minecraft but with some extra comfort features.
I also saw proximity voice chat using Simple Voice Chat and a live 3D world map with BlueMap. There are player shops and community builds too so you can set up your own place and be part of a bigger town kind of thing.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
