FabricCraft is a survival SMP that sticks to real vanilla mechanics because it runs on Fabric. It is for players who want farms and redstone to work the normal way without weird nerfs.
The main world is semi anarchy with minimal rules. There are no land claims so players can raid and fight over stuff. There are also no world resets so everything stays and the history builds up over time.
You can run with a crew or make enemies or just trade and live quiet. Hacked clients and other advantage mods are not allowed. There is also a simple voice chat mod you can use.
There is a creative world too and it has no plot limits so people use it to test builds before doing them in survival. If you like speedrunning there is a manhunt mode you can play.
I found LumaMC and it is a survival multiplayer server that stays close to vanilla but adds plugins that make it feel more alive. You can claim land and even protect chests so your builds feel safe. It also has Towny so people can make towns and live together.
The worlds are meant to last and there are also resource worlds that reset so you can keep mining and gathering without ruining the main place. There is a player economy with shops plus player warps and a set home command. You can also use private vault storage.
There are jobs and quests and chat games and in game ranks. You can get crate keys and there are custom armor and tools. It also has custom items plus paintings plus fishing plus furniture and events.
They run anti lag plugins and anti xray and the staff is active. Mobs can be resized big or small and there is even a world map view. The server supports Java and Bedrock on 1.21.11 and they say the community is friendly and welcoming. English only and they allow minimum cussing.
I found ArcticMC SMP and it is a chill survival server that mixes Towny and factions. They are getting ready to start a brand new world soon so it feels like a good time to jump in before the reset and watch the chaos start.
You can build a town claim land make allies or try to take territory. PvP matters here and they also run an honor system. They explain it in their Discord rules so fights are not just random griefy stuff.
It also has McMMO style skill leveling so you keep getting stronger as you play. There are custom items too and they even have furniture. The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain is big and realistic with mountains and valleys. The community is calm friendly and kind of atmospheric so you can grind build or just vibe.
MoleCraft is a chill adult Minecraft group that is 18 plus. Most players are around 25 to 35 and come from the USA the EU and South Africa. It feels small and close so people actually get to know each other.
The server is Bedrock on hard mode and it stays pure vanilla with no mods to download. It has a Hermitcraft style vibe with a shopping district and big community projects.
They also run monthly events and minigames to keep things fun. The rules are strict about no griefing and they keep drama out. It is LGBTQ plus friendly and your builds should stay safe.
If you like redstone building or telling stories or just want a cozy survival place this server fits that.
The Pen is a classic prison server that feels like the older grindy style where you start with basic tools and leather armor and you work your way up. It is not one of those easy instant rich servers so you actually have to mine and smelt your ores and then take the risk of walking through PvP areas to sell at the Commissary.
The server leans into roleplay with Guards who help new players and also enforce contraband. Swords and potions are illegal and if a Guard catches you holding them they will fight you. If you act up you can even get sent to solitary confinement.
Ranking up goes from A through H then Parolee then Citizen. Once you hit the top you can prestige for special rewards. There are quests for extra cash or special items plus custom fishing and parkour challenges around the prison.
Making money is not just mining either. You can rent a cell or a plot to store stuff build and make your own shop. You can also grow special custom plants that are illegal in the prison for profit but you have to hide it from the Guards. If you have beef with someone you can put bounties on players and go claim ones you see on the board.
