I found a server called MinecraftOffline and it is running on version 1.21.11. It is a lifesteal anarchy type place so fights matter and it can get pretty brutal.
The world is permanent and it says there are no resets. That makes it feel like everything you build or lose actually sticks around.
It also has custom written plugins so the gameplay is not just plain vanilla. The server is based in Finland so it should be good for European players who want low latency.
The hardware looks solid too with NVMe drives ECC memory and a 1 Gbit network so it should be able to handle the chaos.
Wipe Season PvP With Timed Unlocks
I found a competitive PvP server that runs in short seasons with full wipes. It is all about timed progression so stuff unlocks later instead of day one chaos.
The Overworld is open right away then the Nether unlocks after a set time and the End unlocks later too. They keep fights more grounded since netherite armor is disabled and End Crystals are not allowed and Respawn Anchors are not allowed. Diamond gear stays the main endgame tier.
PvP is expected and you can make temporary alliances but it sounds like solo players are the ones who really win. Hacked clients and exploit abuse are not allowed and you still have to follow basic conduct rules. Unlock timing announcements happen in the server so you need to pay attention.

This is a community centered survival server made by players for players. It is going for a Hermitcraft style SMP feel with a diamond based economy.
There is a shopping district plus public builds and bigger projects that people work on together. A lot of players use proximity chat so meeting people feels easy.
The server tries to keep the vanilla experience while still adding some cosmetic and quality of life stuff that the community asks for and votes on. There are homes too.
It is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11. It is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. You can usually find 5 to 20 people online and there are lots of regular active players and groups that want new members.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJoin My New Nation On Eden
I found a server called Eden MC and it plays like a nations server. It has a lot of minor mods that make the game feel more interesting.
A player started a new nation named Solutus and they are trying to get it going. Right now they do not have members so they are looking for people who want to join and help build it up.
If you like nation servers and you want a place to play then this one seems like a good spot to jump in and be part of a new group.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThemed Events SMP With Chill Survival
This is a new Minecraft server that runs small themed events that feel like an smp or a civilization style run. The events can be modded or vanilla depending on what is happening.
There is also a long term vanilla world that stays up for players who do not care about events. It is also good for something to do while you wait for the next event.
They want to add a skygrid world later but it is still being worked on. The server is open to everyone and they are also looking for staff.
Builders are needed the most so if you like building this place will probably want you around.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Earth SMP With Voice Chat
I found an Earth SMP server that runs on both Java and Bedrock so more people can play together.
The world is a scaled down version of real Earth and it already has a bunch of towns and cities made by players. There is a modern New York City with tall skyscrapers and there are also classical style towns in Europe plus more projects all over the map.
It is pretty chill and collaborative and people hang out a lot. The server uses voice chat and it has a live map viewer. It also has cross play support and extra stuff like custom heads custom image maps and custom armor stands.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew ArcticMC Towny Factions SMP
ArcticMC is a new SMP survival server that started only a couple days ago. It has Towny and factions so you can build a town claim land team up or go take your own territory.
PVP matters here but they try to keep it fair with an honor system that is explained in their rules. It also uses McMMO style skills so you level up as you play and unlock special abilities.
The world generation is Tectonic so the terrain looks realistic with big mountains and valleys. There are also custom items like furniture and it is entity based so they plan limits to help with lag.
The vibe is calm and friendly and more chill than chaotic. It seems good if you want to grind build explore or just hang out.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPurpleSMP Chill PVE Crossplay 1.21.11
PurpleSMP is a small survival server that feels simple but still refined. It is mostly PVE and it is meant to be a relaxing place to build on the latest Minecraft versions. PvP is off by default but you can turn it on if you just want to mess around with friends.
It has mcMMO so grinding skills and resources actually feels satisfying. The economy is fully player made since there are no server shops and no server currency.
Your builds are protected with land claims and the server also logs every block placed or destroyed. It even backs up your inventory when you join leave and when you die so staff can help restore items if you lose stuff because someone broke the rules.
There is a strong anti cheat and staff get alerts right away when it triggers. There is no world border so you can go far out and find untouched land and make something huge. You also get a personal vault for extra storage and there is a live map you can view like a google maps style page.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPUK Survival Stress Test Server
I found a brand new UK survival server that is mainly here for stress testing and performance checks. The owner is mixing Azure hosting with Minecraft and wants players to jump in and see how it feels.
It runs on Paper 1.21 and the gamemode is Survival. The server is hosted in the UK on Azure UK South so it should feel snappy for UK players.
If you join the test server you are basically helping them push the infrastructure and report if anything feels laggy or weird. They also offer free 48 hour server trials for anyone who wants to try running their own server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHaven SMP True Vanilla Crossplay Survival
I found a vanilla survival server called Haven SMP and it is still pretty new since it has only been around for a couple months. It is made for players who want a long term world where your builds and choices actually matter.
It sticks close to true vanilla so there are no game breaking plugins. The economy is player driven with shops and trading so it grows naturally from what players do.
There are no protected claims so it relies on people choosing peace. The rules are strict and the staff is active so griefing stealing and harassment are not allowed. Fair play is for everyone and they say there is no favoritism.
Java and Bedrock can play together and there is optional proximity voice chat. There are also a few free quality of life things like graves that hold your items for a short time after you die plus some fun commands like sit spin and hat.
They want a world with no map resets ever so joining early means you can help shape the history.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
