I found a self hosted Vanilla SMP that is all about normal survival on Java 1.21.10.
It has a world map you can use and besides that it stays completely vanilla.
They are trying to keep it as a small community and they also want operators to help it grow. It runs on an old desktop that has been up for a long time so it is meant to stay online.
18+ Long Term Vanilla Fabric SMP
Xapros SMP is a chill vanilla Minecraft server for adults who want a long term place to play. The world started in January 2025 and they say it will not reset so you can take your time on big builds.
The community is 18+ and has players from many places so it is common to find someone online. During peak times it can feel busy with around 20 to 25 players online.
It runs on Fabric instead of Spigot or Paper so redstone and farms are meant to act like singleplayer vanilla. The server also has BlazeandCave advancements for extra goals.
There are no land claims but griefing and theft are not allowed. Players can use a ledger inspect command to check what happened if something goes missing.
There is a nice spawn area plus player shops with a diamond based economy. Travel is easier with nether ice boat highways and there is also a Bluemap so you can view the world. The world has no borders and the server is free to play with no ranks or donation perks.

UnitedFront is a geopolitical SMP set on a full scale Europe map. It is not just basic survival because the main focus is politics war diplomacy and conquest.
Players run their own governments so you can see stuff like democracy monarchy or dictatorship. Nations can go to war and do sieges. People also make laws do elections form alliances and even try coups.

CozyCraft is a calm survival server that feels old school and simple. It is made for people who want to build for a long time and not deal with drama.
The world is meant to last forever so there are no map resets or seasonal wipes. PvP is off so it is all about working together and just surviving.
It stays close to vanilla with only a few plugins. There is no pay to win stuff and the gameplay is slow and natural which makes it great for big long term builds.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBudderCraft Tower Defense Challenge
I found a Minecraft server called BudderCraft Network and it has a Tower Defense mode that feels like those classic defense games where you stop mobs from reaching the exit.
The Tower Defense mode is the main thing they push and it already has a lot going on. There are 15 different towers and 5 classes so you can try lots of play styles while you fight through 25 waves.
Each map has 5 difficulty choices. Beginner is super chill and expert is meant to be brutal since even the owner has not beaten most maps on that setting.
The upgrade system is grid based and you only get 9 upgrades so you have to pick carefully. Towers have a bunch of upgrades to choose from and you unlock paths as you go. You also get 7 targeting options so you can control what your towers focus on.
Rounds are preset so you can learn them and it is not just random luck. There are 9 3D maps and the terrain can block tower attacks so placement matters. After you win you can keep going in an optional freeplay mode that ramps up.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStarFrost Hardcore Conflict SMP
StarFrost is a new SMP where the whole point is conflict betrayal PvP and loss. If you hate dying or losing items then this is not for you.
Everything is meant to be fair since the world is brand new and nobody is months ahead. There is no pay to win and there is no special protection to save you.
You cannot be offline griefed so if you are not online your base cannot get destroyed. But if you are online and someone raids you then it is real and it means they planned better or fought better.
The server is capped at 35 players and they want something long term. Whitelist is required and they do not want people who quit after one bad fight.
Supports 1.16 to 1.21.11 and it works for Java and Bedrock.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWhitelisted Classic Survival Without Discord
