I found a server where the owner is trying to get a small group together. They want around five people to join and play.
To get in you need the Crackers Wither Storm mod and TACZ. It sounds like the whole point is to play together with those mods and just have people to team up with.
Fellowship SMP Fresh 18+ Semi Vanilla
I found a brand new community SMP that just opened last weekend and it feels like a clean start with real people.
It is whitelist only and 18+ only. There are no ranks and no donor perks. There is no server shop and the economy is diamond based so players drive it.
There are no teleport shortcuts so traveling matters. Changes are based on community feedback and polls.
It has deeper progression with ValhallaMMO and ValhallaTrinkets. The world uses Terralith generation. Players can run shops with Shopkeepers and rent market space with AdvancedRegionMarket.
You can view the world with Bluemap and claim land with Bell Claims. Phantoms are turned off. The Ender Dragon comes back weekly and it is reworked into a multi phase raid boss fight.

community driven storiesdark world atmosphereplayer led politicspvp risk enabledwhitelist applications
I found a Minecraft civilization SMP that is story driven and starting in March. It is called The Walled Infected and it is a modded survival and roleplay experience in a custom built dystopian world.
The vibe is all about survival with anarchy and war. People can form factions and there is deception so you really have to watch who you trust. Applications are open so you have to apply to get in.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCommunity Built Lore Wars on Posalon
Posalon is a lore building Minecraft project where what you do ends up becoming part of the servers history. It feels like a big community story that keeps growing because players keep adding to it.
You can get involved in nation politics and even try to start your own nation. You can design planes tanks and ships with movecraft then test them in real battles. If fighting is not your thing you can use BreweryX and be a bartender or you can spread a new religion and see if people follow it.
This is not trying to be an average server. The whole point is that the community builds the world together and your actions can get written down in the wiki as part of the saga.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCampfire SMP Adults Only No Resets
Campfire SMP is a whitelisted semi vanilla survival server for 18+ players that wants a real long term world. It started on 09/13/2025 and the goal is no resets so your builds can stay for years.
The server already has community projects like a shopping district a city themed shopping area nether highways and an arena with a mini games district. People hang out in voice chat a lot while building working on projects or just talking.
It runs on Purpur 1.21.11 and it is self hosted 24/7 in Las Vegas with only limited interruptions. It keeps survival feeling real with no /tpa and no /home. The world border is 60k by 60k and it will expand with big updates.
There are some plugins and data packs for quality of life and admin stuff like CoreProtect Dynmap Simple Voice Chat and things like custom armor stands mini blocks and player heads. You must be 18+ and most players are in their 20s with some in their 30s and 40s.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGolden Nations Geopolitics Survival Warfare
Golden Nations is a harsh survival server where players build nations and fight over land. It is all about diplomacy war economy and just staying alive. It feels like a world where choices matter and progress is not handed to you.
The map starts at 5000 by 5000 and can expand as more people join. The server runs on 1.21.11 and you can join on other versions too because of the version support.
Travel is slower on purpose since there are no elytras. Villagers are also removed so you cannot spam easy trades. Crafting is harder with custom recipes and netherite has a strict 1 to 1 style so it stays rare.
Land claiming is used so nations can mark territory and set borders. Roads and rails matter since roads make you move faster and minecarts go much faster on powered rails.
There is a grindstone change that lets you pull enchantments off and turn them into books. Farming and fishing are also changed with new behavior and unique drops. You can even move spawners with Silk Touch. Maces are limited too with only ten on the whole server and each player can only craft one so they become a big deal.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Modded Survival With Proximity VC
I found a small Minecraft Java server that is running on 1.20.1 with Fabric. It is a chill modded world with about 4 to 5 regular players.
They use a custom mod list that adds new monsters plus weapons armor furniture and more. The main idea is to explore and build a world that feels lived in with cozy bases shared towns and paths.
It is not a sweaty place and it is not PvP focused. People play at their own pace and it is more about relaxed teamwork and good vibes.
They also use proximity voice chat so you can talk while building or when you run into someone while exploring.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChaos Temple Magic Mayhem Modded Server
Chaos Temple is a modded Minecraft server on 1.20.1 using the Chaos and Magic edition modpack. It is all about magic mayhem and mystery. The world feels wild and unpredictable so you never know what is coming next.
People team up a lot here. You can build huge magical stuff with friends and try to survive the madness together. The server pushes you to be brave and bold.
There are big bosses creepy monsters and all kinds of wild creatures. Mods like Ice and Fire are part of the experience so expect dragons and tough fights.
Whitelist is enforced and it is 16+ so the community is meant to be a bit more mature.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Pen Classic Prison Grind Returns
I found a classic prison server that is trying to feel like the old grind again. It is barebones and nostalgic and it wants you to work for your gear instead of starting stacked.
You start with basic tools and leather armor then you mine and smelt your ores. To sell you have to move through PVP zones and get to the Commissary so it feels risky and not like easy instasell.
There are ranks from A down through H then Parolee then Citizen. If you hit the top rank you can prestige for special rewards.
Guards are a big deal here. Swords and potions are illegal and guards will fight you if they catch you with them. You can also get sent to solitary for bad conduct.
For money there is mining fishing and growing special illegal plants in your cell. You can rent a cell or a plot to store stuff build and run your own shop. There are quests bounties an auction house and parkour around the prison too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
