I found EchelonMC and it is a fully custom survival server on Minecraft Java. It is new with about a month of active development and it is hosted in Canada. Version 1.21.11 is recommended and older versions are supported too.
The vibe is serious building and teamwork. This is not a server for PvP stealing or griefing. It is made for people who want to build together and keep progress going long term.
A lot of the systems are custom coded and the server says it has no pay to win. They patch it a lot and they actually take player feedback to shape features and balance.
There is a path system where you can walk and make paths form under you and you can get speed bonuses on them. You can toggle it. There is also a currency called Echelites that you earn by playing and you can spend it on progression and quality of life.
Land claiming looks strong with visual borders and per chunk settings plus anti grief protection. You can control mobs and TNT and fire spread and raids and even fluids. You can also publish chunks so other players can visit your builds and you can earn rewards from visitors and climb build rankings.
It has teams with invites shared utilities and team nametags. Deaths make timed graves for your items and there is a /back to help you recover after teleports. There is voting with in game rewards plus discord linking and a chat bridge plus a spawn hub with custom NPCs and utilities and anti x ray protection.
Vanilla Semi Anarchy With One Command

Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City in the USA.
The server is online all the time and you can join on Java from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They recommend 1.21.10 so stuff works better. The world border is massive at 2 million blocks.
There are no map resets and no pay to win. Griefing and pvp are allowed so you have to watch your back. There is no teleporting except for a single spawn command so people far away can get back to civilization. Nether roof access is allowed phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They still block some stuff like exploits lag machines duping spamming and harassment or racial slurs in chat.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGilded Abyss Season 2 Modded SMP

I found a modded Minecraft SMP called Gilded Abyss and Season 2 started 2 days ago. The whole vibe is medieval and it is set up so new people will slowly get sorted into one of two groups. Each group gets daily tasks as the server goes on.
The world has lots to explore since it uses Biomes O Plenty and Terralith. You can also pick an Origin in game so you have a race and you can use its abilities.
There are special items you can get in certain ways and there are custom bosses for harder fights. The Create mod is on too so players can build machines and do automation as long as it is reasonable.
The End stays closed for the first week. After that it opens and there is an event. They also want lots of suggestions and they say there will be many events.
It is a whitelist server and you join by using a ticket system to talk with the owner or a moderator. If they think you fit then you get added.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Semi Vanilla Survival SMP 1.21.11

I found Lounge SMP and it is a semi vanilla survival server on 1.21.11. It feels like normal Survival but with some custom features that stay simple.
The world is meant to last forever and there is a small world border. People mostly hangout build stuff and just play at a chill pace.
The server also says it has anti grief and strong anti cheat. There are jobs rewards crates and give aways too. Bedrock players can join as well.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Vanilla PVE SMP With Voice

I found a fresh survival server made by a small group of five people. They ran their last world for over three years then decided to restart and upgrade.
It is a vanilla plus style SMP that focuses on PVE. It runs on Fabric but you can still join using a normal Vanilla client and play fine.
The server has extra stuff to make life easier like better world generation from Terralith, fast leaf decay, proximity voice chat, a live map, claims, mini blocks and heads, gravestones, and backups. Since it is new they might change things if enough players ask.
They want to make a central shopping district and keep it simple with no currency mods. They also say they will never ask for money and donating will not give anyone advantages.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Server With Always On PvP

They are mainly trying to grow the community and get more regular players.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBuild Kingdoms Conquer Empires SMP PvP

Realm of Thrones is a small crossplay SMP that feels like a civilization server with PvP. People build kingdoms and try to grow them into huge empires. You can choose to fight and conquer or you can stay peaceful and make allies and trade with other nations.
There is a money system and you can rise in ranks by play time and in game cash. That makes you feel like you are progressing as you play more. You can also mess with configurable tech parts to build factories and chase the big industry life.
It has a bunch of quality of life changes so it does not get boring fast. I saw stuff like legendary fishing you can sell, crates, a server shop, player shops, jobs that pay you for playing, and McMMO leveling. They also just launched around 25 quests and it is new and still being tested with more planned later.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSableCraft Long Term Chill SMP

SableCraft is a small semi vanilla SMP that is trying to be a long term survival world. It is not aiming to be some huge public server that resets all the time.
The vibe is chill and respectful and it welcomes builders casual players and creators. It also says no pay to win no anarchy and no drama.
The server direction is meant to be community driven from day 1. They are doing Season 1 player applications and also optional staff applications and they post announcements and updates as things get closer to launch.
