I found this Minecraft network that is pretty new and still in early launch. It is called NovaCraft Network and it focuses on fair progression and actually listening to players. It does not feel pay to win and it does not rely on weird gimmicks.
The main gamemode right now is Skyblock. It has balanced progression and a player driven economy. It seems made for both casual players who just want to chill and also for competitive players who like to grind and race ahead.
There is also BedWars with 2v2 and 4v4 maps so it is good for small groups and friends who want quick pvp games. For people who like classic Minecraft there is a Survival world on hard difficulty with normal gameplay and nothing super crazy added on top.
The owners say they focus on fair progression active development and community feedback that actually matters. They are asking for players who want to help shape the server from the ground up so it feels like they really want ideas and suggestions.
Right now the server runs on Java 1.21.x and older versions are supported too. They also say Skyblock is just the beginning and that Lifesteal and Factions are planned for the future as the network grows.

Legends of Stonehaven is a new medieval fantasy RPG style Minecraft server that uses a big modpack focused on combat and adventure. It feels like an actual RPG where your character gets stronger over time and the world gets more dangerous as you go farther from spawn.
The combat is completely changed with new animations and a dodge mechanic so fights feel really active. There is a full skill tree and different origins so every player can build a unique play style. There are a lot of custom weapons armor trinkets bosses and divine blessings that are balanced around this pack.
The world generation is also different in the overworld nether and end so everything looks more like a fantasy world. There are tons of new dungeons and structures to explore and even five extra dimensions to discover. Enemies scale up in strength as you explore more so it stays challenging.
Magic is a big part of the server with two main magic mods that give you lots of utility in and out of combat. There are over 200 quests you can do alone or with friends and some of them add lore and story about the world. You can spend coins from quests in a quest shop to buy useful items.
The pack also tries to keep performance good with mods to help fps and loading times. There are some nice quality of life things like backpacks and storage systems so it is easier to manage your stuff and just enjoy playing.

This is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to feel like normal Minecraft but easier to live in. The world is pretty new and the server is in open beta so things can still change to match what the players want.
From what I saw the server has keepInventory on and you get unlimited homes with no teleport cooldown which is really nice for exploring and building lots of bases. There are some custom advancements custom titles nicknames with gradients and some fun stuff like Brewery and custom food and items but nothing that breaks the game.
The community wants to build history and lore with towns nations and big player bases. There are plans for spawn shops cities a pvp arena and a custom currency plus more community projects where anyone can suggest ideas and help on Discord.
The rules are pretty chill but strict about fairness. No griefing no stealing no pvp without consent no spam no hacking or exploits no NSFW and no alt accounts. So it is meant to be a safe relaxed place to play.
It supports both Java and Bedrock so more people can join together. The owner also mentions strong hardware so the server is set up to have minimal lag and handle a mid sized community.
Overall it feels like a chill survival server for people who want a friendly SMP with quality of life features and a lot of room to help shape the world while it is still new.

Twix SMP is a Java vanilla server that is all about building and chill vibes. When I joined it felt like a small friendly world where people just want to make cool bases and hang out.
The server is based in the EU but there are players from different places too. It is mostly vanilla with a few small quality of life tweaks that make building more fun but it still feels like normal Minecraft.
There is no PvP allowed so you do not have to worry about getting randomly killed. It is more about relaxing building and playing with people who like the same thing.
They also have an active event manager team that hosts events on a regular basis. So sometimes you can just chill and build and other times you can join in on community events.
The community is growing and very welcoming. They are looking for new long term players who want to stick around and become part of the group. If you like building and chilling with like minded people this server fits really well.
