Nation States is a semi vanilla server that uses the towny claiming system. The whole idea is to build nations and not just random bases. Players are pushed to make politics trade and war with each other.
The server is all about roleplay and lore and cool conflicts between players. The owner wants people to actually act like they are in a nation and not just grind alone. If you ignore that spirit and just ruin the experience you will probably get removed.
The theme is early antiquity so it feels like playing in an ancient world. There is a custom map that is about 5k by 5k so it is not too huge but still has room for different nations.
From what I can see the community is meant to be competitive but still focused on fun and interaction. It is for people who like nation building and diplomacy and serious roleplay more than just pure pvp or pure survival.

Mature Vanilla Survival Season 3
I found a small survival server that just started Season 3 and the world is still really fresh. It is meant for people who actually like normal Minecraft and want to stick around long term.
It runs on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 and it keeps a vanilla style feel with only a few quality of life changes. One custom thing they added is player heights so you can pick how tall your character is.
The vibe is calm and friendly. PvP only happens if both people agree and griefing or stealing is not allowed. There is also optional proximity voice chat if you want to talk while playing.
They are looking for mature players 17 plus who want to build up the world over time with bases roads towns and projects.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore SMP Vanilla Survival No P2W
Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server for both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. It stays vanilla feeling and it does not do world resets. It also avoids pay to win stuff and it does not let you teleport to other players.
The economy is coin based and it is fully player driven. There are no admin shops for normal items. Coins come from fighting mobs and looting chests. Players trade with each other using a trading system and an auction house.
There is a big land claiming system so bases and farms can be protected from griefing. If you die your claims get deleted so the land becomes unprotected.
Teleporting is very limited. There is a one time use randomtp for the overworld and you can invite others. There is also home to your respawn point and spawn to get back to Spawn.
The server is non pay to win with only a VIP rank that is cosmetic. There is also a revive item that works like a full account reset so you can play again without buying a new account.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAustralia Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Rules
LegacyMC is a raw survival server where you get the full vanilla experience and nobody is there to save you.
It is an anarchy world with no rules and no resets so anything you do can stick around for a long time. PvP is on and raiding and griefing are allowed. There are no land claims and no teleporting so you have to travel and survive the hard way.
The server started in June 2025 so the world is still pretty new and you can actually leave your mark. It runs on dedicated hardware in Australia which is great for players in Australia and New Zealand.
There is no pay to win and no monetisation. Donations are not needed and they will not be asked for. Anyone can join with no whitelist and no applications.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChud SMP No Rules Survival Wars
This is a survival SMP where people just play and make friends. It is pretty laid back and nobody worries about perfect typing.

casual grind nightsJava 1.21 playProgression focused serverQuest reward eventTeleport request enabled
SurviviaSMP is a survival server that is all about exploring and grinding in a world that does not feel like normal vanilla. Every dimension has custom terrain so you keep running into new mountains and different looking areas instead of the usual stuff.
There are custom structures too but you have to travel really far from spawn like 10000 blocks to start finding the rare special ones. It feels like a long adventure trip where you go out to loot and see what you can discover.
It also has Slimefun so you can craft machines and weird items and work through a big progression path. There is a skills system so you can level up and unlock abilities. Trading can be done from anywhere and you can even trade XP. You can summon your own horse and set a home and use tpa to meet up easier.
Voice chat is enabled so people can talk in game. Right now there is a St Patrick event live with quests and rewards like different charms plus a Spit WiFi crafting table and a healing wand. The server says it keeps improving based on player feedback and is trying to grow an active survival community. Version is 1.21.11.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
