This server is called Nation States and it is a semi vanilla world built around towny claiming.
The whole point is to make nations and build them up. People are expected to do diplomacy trade and war. The server wants players talking and working together or fighting each other and not just hiding alone.
The theme is early antiquity so it feels like playing in an ancient world. There is a custom map that is around 5k by 5k so it is big but not too huge.
The server has a special spirit that everyone has to follow. That means you should like fun roleplay lore and conflicts. If you just try to ruin that or ignore it you can be removed to protect the experience for other players.
It is still in development but it already aims to be a place for nation building and serious interaction between players.

ANARCHY NETWORK Semi-Anarchy Vanilla Chaos
I found Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
The server stays online all the time and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They recommend 1.21.10 so stuff works smoother.
The world is huge with a 2 million block border and it does not reset. There is no pay to win and there is no teleporting. Griefing and PvP are allowed so you can expect fights and ruined bases.
The only extra stuff is a spawn command so people far out can get back. Nether roof is allowed phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip night.
They still block exploits and duping and lag machines. Spam is not allowed and harassment or racial slurs in chat are not allowed either.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Semi Vanilla Forever Survival

DeadMan's Land is a Minecraft Java server that feels like classic factions with survival at the center of everything.

I found Ratchy SMP and it is a survival server that is mostly vanilla but it uses modpacks too.
The main one mentioned is Lifesteal so players can take hearts and you can also turn hearts into items with a simple command.
The commands are meant to be easy and the owner said they made it for fun. They also said the server can be down sometimes for mod maintenance and you can comment if you want to add mods.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
