I found this server that feels really old school and super cozy. It has a PvE world a Creative world and a Snapshot server. The whole place is mostly vanilla and it is all about chill gameplay and building with other people.
On the PvE server you play survival without any pvp. You only fight mobs and not other players. People like to team up build towns and even full cities. They reset the PvE map not that long ago so there is still room for fresh bases. There are regular game nights on Friday and Saturday with stuff like spleef thimble and ice boat races so it never feels boring.
The Creative server is for people who just want to build. The map is a mix of natural and custom terrain. You can protect your builds and you can use WorldEdit for free if you want. They also run community events on Creative like spleef and speed build plus other minigames on some Saturdays. There is even a big group build for Christmas and winter themes where anyone can join in.
There is also a Snapshot server which is for the newest test versions of the game. It seems like a place where you can try new Minecraft features early. Overall the server feels like a tight community where players know each other and like to hang out. If you miss that feeling of the first servers you ever played this one really tries to bring that back.

This is a semi vanilla SMP that feels like a small friendly neighborhood. The world is pretty new and the server usually has around ten to fifteen people online.
Everyone seems really relaxed and people like building near each other. Neighbors are welcome if you ask first and players visit each others bases a lot. People trade items help with projects and share stuff when someone needs it.
The server runs on hard mode and uses a few plugins but you can turn them off if you want to play more vanilla. There is a shopping district starting up and the nether was opened recently so players are building a nether hub now. The end is not open yet.
They only want people who actually want to be good friends and part of the community and not just grab stuff and disappear.

No Land Claims Just Real Survival
Active Staffbedrock multiplayerCommunity Rulescommunity-drivencross-platformfriendly neighborsgrief controlledhard modejava multiplayerlong-term worldNo Donationsno pay towinno perksplayer cooperationRule Enforcedshared worldSurvival-Focusedtrade economytrust-basedVanilla Survival
This server is a shared survival world that does not use land claims.
Instead of empty borders and locked chests everywhere players actually live close together. People build near each other and talk and trade so the world feels alive and not like singleplayer with chat.
The server runs hard difficulty with vanilla gameplay. There are no donations or paid perks or monetization stuff. Rules are enforced the same for everyone and that keeps griefing rare because everyone knows what is allowed.
You can join and explore right away. To fully interact and break blocks you read the rules on their Discord so new players start with the same expectations as everyone else.
It is for Java and also Bedrock so more friends can play together. The whole idea is that community protects your base instead of claim blocks.

GildedAbyss is a new modded SMP that is all about the community and how everyone interacts with the world. The server is still very fresh and they are planning Season 1 based on how many people join. There will be events and new stuff added even before the official opening so it feels like the server is growing with the players.
The world has tons of new places to explore with mods like Biomes o Plenty and Terralith. It feels way more adventurous than normal Minecraft. There are also special items you can get through certain methods so you always have something to work toward.
One of the coolest things is Ancestral Archetypes where you choose a sub race in game and use it to your advantage. Progression is also changed with immersive ores that add more ores and new tools and weapons so mining and upgrading feels more fun.
The server uses the Create mod so people can build all kinds of machines as long as they are reasonable. The owner wants lots of suggestions from players and plans to host many events once the server really starts so there should be a lot of group activities.
To join you have to use a ticket system to get whitelisted. You talk with the owner or a moderator and if they think you fit the community they add you. It feels like they want a good friendly group instead of random chaos.
