Nova Network is opening a new SMP really soon and it looks different from the usual servers I see.
The server has custom mobs that make survival feel more intense. There are quests and daily quests so you always have something to do instead of just mining and building forever. You can level up skills and there is a custom battlepass and jobs so you can progress in a bunch of different ways.
They use in game voice chat so people can actually talk while they play which makes it feel more like a real community. The server supports both Java and Bedrock so a lot more players can join and play together.
There are already over 200 people in their community getting ready for launch and they are still growing. They are also looking for staff before the server goes live so if you want to help run a new SMP this looks like a good time to start on day one.
Nova Network Brand New SMP Launch

YAK SMP PURE VANILLA NO CLAIMS

I found a server that feels like old Minecraft where you just survive and deal with whatever happens.
There are no protection plugins and no claiming land. There are no rules about griefing so players can build or break stuff and it is all part of the world.
The world is persistent and the map does not reset. It stays online 24 7. It runs on version 1.21 for Java and Bedrock.
The main rules are simple. No cheats no hacks and no lag machines. There is an Italian Discord and an English Discord for the community.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAU Vanilla Anarchy No Rules Ever

I found LegacyMC and it is a vanilla anarchy survival server that goes for the old school feel. It is meant to be raw and open with no gameplay changing plugins.
There are no rules here so PvP is on and griefing and raiding are allowed. There are no land claims and no teleporting so you have to travel the hard way and protect your own stuff.
The world does not reset and the server started in June 2025 so it still feels like a place where you can leave a mark. It is hosted on dedicated hardware in Australia so it is aimed at low latency for Australia and New Zealand players.
It is open to everyone with no whitelist. It also has no monetisation and no pay to win and they say donations are not required and will not be requested.
