Mint Survival is a simple survival server that stays close to vanilla. It runs 24 7 and it is free to play. It uses only a few mods and they are just there to make the gameplay better.
The community feels friendly on the server and on Discord. It is meant to be a place where you can make friends and just chill.
There are bosses and dungeons plus adventures and custom structures to find. It also says zero pay to win and they do not take donations right now.

StellarMC is a relaxed vanilla survival SMP that started as a small friend group in August 2023 and grew into a welcoming community.

The world resets every 6 months so things stay fresh and balanced. It is hosted in Europe and it supports both Java and Bedrock on version 1.21.11.

There is no pay to win stuff here. The server opens on 2/21/26 and they want new members at launch. Bring friends make alliances start trouble and try to survive.

It is community driven from day 1 and they are running player applications for season 1 plus optional staff applications. The launch is coming soon so people can get in early and help shape how it goes.

I found a semi vanilla survival multiplayer server that tries to keep the normal vanilla feel but adds extra stuff to make it more fun. It supports cross play for Java and Bedrock though Java is recommended.
The community is meant to be close and friendly. They say they shut down toxicity and drama fast. You can team up on big projects like towns and shopping areas and they also run events where you can win prizes. They also support using Simple Voice Chat.

There are extra features like McMMO skills art maps and even resizing your character. They also have a Valentines build competition where you rent a plot and build then judges pick the top 3 for prize packs.
