I found a vanilla Minecraft server with a friendly community and simple rules.
The main gameplay stays fully vanilla and it only has a few small extras that do not change any game mechanics.
There are no land claims or protections so it feels like real vanilla survival. Mods are active though and there is a ticket system so if someone griefs your stuff they can restore it.

This server feels like it is trying to be a Witcher style adventure but in Minecraft. The owner spent about 2.5 months making lore and there is an ongoing book with 7 chapters that are around 2000 words each.
It is the owners first server and it starts on 11 or 12 Feb. The server has both pvp and non pvp roles and both matter. Builders seem a little more important but fighters can build too.
Community is a big deal here and players are expected to interact. Your choices can change the world lore in real ways and it is not just a tiny line of text. There are NPCs too and if you ignore the lore you can accidentally make one angry.
The age limit is 15 plus and the rules and etiquette are taken seriously. The server uses minimal plugins and leans more on hard work and custom ideas. You can play casual or you can grind and try to beat the nether dungeon.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
