Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java survival server that feels like a small friendly town. It is whitelisted so people who join really want to be there and respect each other.
The server is always on the latest version and right now it is running 1.21.11. It has grief protection using Ledger so admins can check what happened and keep builds safe.
There is a live world map with BlueMap that lets you see the world from your browser. The server also has Simple Voice Chat and AudioPlayer so you can talk and listen to custom audio while you play.
Ordinary SMP uses a custom resource pack with special cosmetics trophies and event rewards. The theme is inspired by HermitCraft and they like hearing ideas for new custom items.
The community does a lot of server wide events like PvP battles build contests and big community projects. It feels like a place where builders explorers and redstone fans all hang out together and just vibe.

I found this server called Iperios and it is all about making nations. You can start your own nation and make your own government and your own rules and ranks. If you do not want to lead a nation you can just join one that is already made.
The server runs the Allthemods10 ATM10 modpack on version 5.3.1 so you need that installed before you can play. It is whitelist only so you have to join their discord first and ask to get on the list.
When you first join the staff helps you a lot. A staff member shows you around and gives you a beginner kit so you are not totally lost. After that you can go off and build or join a nation and start playing how you like.
The server feels like it is focused on community and nations instead of random chaos. It is more about working together and making cool countries with your friends.

This server is being made for people who want to help create scripted Minecraft videos. It is going for a style kind of like Unstable Universe where players act out scenes and stories.
The cool part is that it is planned to be crossplay. That means both bedrock players and java players will be together. The owner has a bunch of crazy ideas that use the mix of both versions.
If you want to help with recording and acting or maybe later make your own scripted Minecraft videos this is the server they are building for that.

Anarchy Network Semi-Vanilla Chaos

Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy server that tries to feel like normal vanilla survival but with barely any rules. It launched in October 2024 and it runs all the time on a world with a huge border.
You can join on a lot of Java versions and they recommend using 1.21.10 so stuff does not break. There are no map resets so everything you do will stay unless another player blows it up.
This server allows full pvp and griefing so you really have to watch your back. There is no teleporting at all and there is no pay to win shop. The only command you get that is not vanilla is spawn so people super far away can still get back to others.
They also let you use the nether roof and they removed phantoms and only half the players are needed to skip the night which makes survival a bit less annoying.
Even though it is semi anarchy there are still a few rules. You cannot use exploits or dupes or lag machines and you cannot spam or use harassment or racial slurs in chat. So the server is chaotic but not totally toxic.

Foggy Willows is a really strict vanilla survival server. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks. It feels like playing single player but with other people around.
There is no special spawn full of signs and there is no weird hub. You just join and start surviving. The world has no border so you can walk as far as you want and build anywhere.
The server is hard mode and there is no teleport or sethome. You have to travel by walking or using nether tunnels or whatever you can make. Players are expected to handle their own problems so there is not a lot of hand holding.
Technical players are welcome and can mess with farms and redstone if they want. There are no donations or pay to win stuff. It is always running the latest stable vanilla version and is self hosted on a machine made for this.
If you want a simple real vanilla place with all the normal quirks and challenges this server fits that really well.
