I found a public lifesteal SMP that is open for anyone to join.
It sounds like the main thing is lifesteal and player fights but it is also meant to be fun and not toxic.
The server says it has friendly staff and they want people to come hang out and play.

CaveMC is a semi anarchy survival server with an enhanced vanilla feel. The whole overworld is underground so there is no surface at all. It is a giant cave only world with biomes resources and structures all down below.
Season 2 is live with a fresh start. Survival sounds brutal and it feels like you have to be smart to last.
There is also a big expansion called the Wasteland Dimension. It brings new gear to fight over and huge mega structures with mysteries. It also has its own currency so players can trade and make a new economy. The dimension has a new spawn and a custom generated map with special features.

I found a server that is trying to bring the full CS2 style into Minecraft. It is made to feel like the real thing but you do not need any mods.
It has gameplay with maps and weapons. You can also use skins and there is a ranking system so you can grind and see your progress.
It says it is for Java 1.21.11 and it just opened so it feels fresh.

I found Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to stay really close to vanilla. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
It is online all the time and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. It says 1.21.11 is the best version to use so you do not run into problems.
The world is huge with a 2 million block border and there are no map resets. There is no pay to win and there is no teleporting around. Griefing and pvp are allowed and the only command that is allowed is spawn so people far out can come back.
Nether roof is allowed and phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night. The server still has rules though like no exploits no lag machines no duping no spamming and no harassment or racial slurs in chat.

This server is all about infinite islands that never reset. You keep expanding as you grow and you can build your island up for the long run.
There are custom cave systems with multiple levels. Ores regenerate so you can keep mining. You will also run into custom mobs and bosses down there so it feels like you always have something to fight.
Fishing is a big deal here with over 100 unique textured fish to catch and collect. There are also 60 fishing mobs to kill which makes it more than just sitting still.
Progression is guided by hundreds of quests. There are seasonal payouts if you want to compete but casual play is supported too. It is profile based so if you get bored of one island you can start a new one and swap back anytime.
It runs on version 1.21+ with 1.21.10 native. They are also recruiting staff so joining early and being active matters.
