I found a survival server that is all about world building and stories. It uses a server side mod that changes world generation so the map turns into seven continents.
Each season everyone focuses builds on one continent. You can still travel and explore the other continents too. The main idea is to make the world feel alive with player made stories.
Season 2 adds more server side QoL mods. They also run fun events like a Christmas themed build off and a Geoguessr style event using their own world. Next week they plan to open the End for the first time this season. The community feels close and you can make friends or even rivals.
Join CSMP Season 3 Launch Crew

I found a server called CSMP that is getting ready to launch season 3. They are already doing prep work and getting people together before it starts.
They also moved to a new Discord server because they want to change the direction of the theme this season. There is a modlist you can check so you know what you are getting into before you join.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh 24 7 True Anarchy Chaos

I found 99b99t and it is a brand new Minecraft anarchy server where anything goes. It is true anarchy so there are no rules and no limits and no restrictions.
The world is fresh and it is ready for players to fight survive and leave their mark. The server runs on hard difficulty and it stays online 24 7.
It supports Java versions from 1.12.2 to 1.21.11 so a lot of players can join.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBuild a Player Run Democracy in Garconia

Garconia is a Minecraft server where players try to build a real democratic state inside the game. It is meant to change over time based on what the public wants. You can go for politics or you can just live your own life and build your place.
The server uses a bunch of advanced plugins to make things feel more realistic. You can run a business by hiring other players and selling items through real storefronts. It also tracks inventory and lets you manage separate company money.
If you want politics you can join the established political system and help change the laws that shape the server. Staff are not allowed to influence politics so it is not just an owner power trip.
The community is new so early players get a big chance to shape what Garconia becomes. The official release is March 6th and they want people to join early and stake a claim.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAelythera 16+ Fantasy RP With Steampunk Roots

Aelythera is a 16+ Minecraft roleplay server that is new and still building up. It has lots of planned events and it is made for meeting new people and playing as your character in a bigger story.
The lore starts in a normal world called Koriam with different regions and cultures and steampunk level tech. A long time ago people vanished with no clue why and now it is happening again. Your character gets taken from Koriam and thrown into a new world with magic and ruins from an old civilization.
A big part of the server is discovery. You try to figure out your new powers and your new home. You also try to rebuild the technology you lost but it is not easy and even basic tools can be hard to make. You can focus on research and exploring or on trying to invent stuff again while the mystery of the ruins hangs over everything.
The staff team has experience from other roleplay servers and they aim to make the community feel welcoming and included. They also want to listen to player suggestions including ideas for the lore.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore Nations Warfare Semi Vanilla

Golden Nations is a survival server that feels like a big world politics game. Players make nations and fight over land with diplomacy war economy and raw survival. It is meant to be harsh and strategic not easy mode.
It runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 and you can join on any version because of ViaBackward. The world starts at 5000 by 5000 and it expands as more people play. There are no elytras so travel matters. There are also no villagers so you cannot spam infinite trades.
Progression is tougher with custom recipes and 1 to 1 netherite crafting. Land claiming is a big deal with a territory system so borders and nations feel real.
The server has extra systems like better roads that make you walk faster and rails that make minecarts go faster. The grindstone is reworked so you can take enchantments off and turn them into books. Farming is changed and fishing has custom drops. You can even move spawners with Silk Touch.
Maces are limited too. Only 10 exist on the whole server and each player can only craft one with restricted enchantments so they turn into real national artifacts.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDesign The Chaos Weekly Event SMP

Project Indigo is a community server where the players help design what happens. There is a custom Discord bot that lets people pitch new mechanics and ideas for events.
The community votes on the best concept. Then the coder builds that exact plugin during the week. On Saturday the server runs the event you all voted for and if you survive you can win real prizes like Nitro or gift cards.
There is also a 24 7 SMP for the rest of the week so people can chill and hang out between the intense event days.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Pen Classic Prison Grind Returns

This server is a classic prison server that feels like the older grind. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you have to work your way up through the ranks from A to Parolee to Citizen.
Money takes effort here. You mine and smelt your ores and then you have to walk through PVP zones to sell at the Commissary. Swords and potions are illegal and guards can PVP you if they catch you with them.
There are a lot of side ways to make cash too like custom fishing quests bounties and running parkour around the prison. You can rent a cell or a plot to store stuff build and even run your own shop.
There is also a contraband angle with special custom plants that are illegal. You can grow them in your cell for profit but you have to be careful because guards can enforce rules and even send you to solitary for bad conduct. After you hit top rank you can prestige for special rewards.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBeeetCraft Chill Vanilla+ SMP

BeeetCraft is a chill community server where people just want to build explore and have a good time. It is a relaxed SMP with vanilla plus tweaks that try to keep the game balanced.
Right now the server is released and they are still shaping it with the players. Netherite armor is disabled and The End is also disabled for now so the world pace feels more controlled.
The community gets a real say in how stuff works like what plugins and vanilla plus features get used. Players also help decide the server style like solo bases or nations and how PvP rules should be handled later.
They also plan events to keep things active. Questing and job systems are planned too so there is more to do as the world grows.
It is whitelisted and the server is self hosted on a dedicated machine. Bedrock compatibility is only planned if enough Bedrock players show up. The vibe is no drama no griefing and no admin abuse just Minecraft together.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAustralia Timezone Life Series SMP Tryouts

I found a Java modded server project that is trying to run a Life Series style season with a full modpack that includes the different Life Series modes. The main idea is everyone records together so it feels like an actual series and not just random playtime.
They want people who can match Australian Central Daylight Time or at least can show up when recording happens. You need Discord to plan sessions and you need Modrinth plus Simple Voice Chat so everyone can talk in game.
Any age and any gender is welcome and the host is 17. Content creators are preferred but normal players can join too as long as you actually have time to record and want to play for fun.
