I found a chill Java survival server called TerraScape SMP and it is made for peaceful play. PvP is only allowed if both people agree so it stays calm and fair.
It is a vanilla style world with a few extras like sitting and making map art. There is also Simple Voice Chat if you want it but you can still play without using voice.
The community is small and mature and it is an 18+ place. They run events sometimes and the staff is around to help when you have questions.
The rules are simple. Be respectful and do not grief or steal and do not start random fights. You can build what you want as long as you respect other peoples stuff.
Waychest Journeys: Solo Starts, Shared World
Waychest is a PvE semi vanilla SMP where it feels like you are starting alone but you are actually in one big shared survival world.
You begin in your own Journey with a random spawn point and you can bring friends. Each Journey has its own spawn and its own progress so it feels like a private Realm but it still connects to everyone else out there.
As you explore you start finding special Waychests and other custom stuff that points you toward places people have been. You can even craft and place your own Waychests later so future Journeys can discover your builds.
There is also a Waychest Flight minigame where you craft an Elytra then fly through rings and it leads you to a Waychest made by a stranger. Fast travel exists too but you have to discover a warp spot first to unlock it.
It runs on Java 1.21.11 and you can join with a vanilla client.
