I found a brand new Java SMP running on Minecraft 1.21.11. It is meant to be small and friendly so people can just play and hang out.
It already has EssentialsX and GriefPrevention set up. That means you can get some helpful commands and also protect your stuff from griefing.
The owner is pretty new to running a public server and says they are open to suggestions. They want a happy balance and better communication and they might start a Discord for it. Just do not be weird.
Control SMP Vanilla PvP Economy Grind
I found Control SMP and it is a 1.21.11 vanilla style SMP that is made for competition. It feels like normal Minecraft survival but it has extra stuff to make it more risky and more about getting ahead.
PvP is a big deal here and player killing is allowed. Base raiding is encouraged so you are supposed to hide your base and play smart. If you mess up you can lose everything.
The whole server is about money and being the richest player. It has a player driven economy with player shops and an auction house. There are also custom spawners to help you grind and a bounty system so you can hunt players or put a price on them.
You can also team up with other players and make alliances or start rival groups. Before you play you are expected to read the rules.
