GlowSMP is a newly launched vanilla plus SMP for players who want to build grind or just chill. It supports both Java and Bedrock and it runs on 1.21 through 1.21.10.
The server has claims so you do not have to stress about griefing. It also adds a bunch of quality of life stuff like voice chat and messages better harvesting chest sorting a gradient tool graves and a live map.
There is a fishing system with lots of new fish you can catch then sell for money. It tracks what you get and has a leaderboard for the best fisherman.
You can find special enchantment books that help with building and gathering like breaking a whole tree at once or getting haste to mine faster. Jobs are also a big thing here since you are in every job and you earn experience and money from most actions with leaderboards to see who does what the most.
One of the coolest parts is a centralized storage network. You can make a terminal in your base and link it to your chests so storing and searching items is way easier.
It is fully free to play and everything is obtainable for everyone. There are vote ranks and a shop option but buying stuff is not required.
Minearchy 1.21.11 SMP Plus Minigames

Minearchy is a long running Java server on 1.21.11 and you do not need any mods to join. It feels like it is built for people who want a real community and not just random players.
Survival has grief protection and chest shops so your builds and your stuff can stay safe. The economy is balanced and you can use auctions and player warps to get around and trade. It also has the mcMMO skill system so you can keep leveling up just by playing.
There is a live dynmap so exploring the world is way easier. You can also do daily and weekly quests and jump into special events.
If you like fighting there are dedicated PvP and PvE zones. The server also says it is not pay to win so progress is earned through play.
When you want a break from survival there are lots of minigames like TNT Run and TNT Tag plus Prop Hunt and Block Party. There is also KitPvP and games like Quake Mini Walls Zombies Squid Game Among Us and MineKart. It seems like they keep updating it and adding things based on player feedback.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGOOMB SMP Amplified Vanilla Season 2

I found GOOMB SMP and it is a vanilla survival server on an amplified world. The world got reset about two months ago so it still feels like a fresh season with lots of new bases popping up.
They started with a smaller border so people were closer together. Now the border has expanded so there is way more room for big plans and different build spots.
The End is open and players kicked off an egg hunt event. It sounds like a good way to meet people and get involved instead of just grinding alone.
The community is really active on Discord with shop ads trade talks and lots of screenshots. Voice chats are often full of people hanging out and planning stuff.
Rules are pretty clear. Be respectful and keep it drama free. No hate speech or NSFW. No griefing no stealing and no unconsented PvP. Joining is done through an application and then you get whitelisted.

I found a hardcore survival server where you only get one life. If you die you get permanently banned so you really have to stay alive.
It is fully vanilla and it is just pure survival with no tpa and no rtp. You can explore a lot and even go as far as the farlands. You can build whatever you want and the vibe is that players can kinda rule the server.
Cracked players can join and any Java version works. Bedrock latest also works too.
The main rule is no cheating no xray and no hacked clients. People also say there is a player who hunts others so you should be careful when you join.

Nether roof access is allowed. Phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night. They still block stuff like exploits lag machines duping spamming and harassment or racial slurs in chat.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCorruption SMP Vanilla Lore Recorder Group

Corruption SMP is a very vanilla survival server and it is not a big network thing. It feels more like a small group world where people actually know each other. They keep the member cap under 40 so it stays chill.
A big part of this SMP is making lore and recording videos. If you want to join as a real member you have to do a written application first. They want you to explain how you will add story and lore to the server.
If you do not want to be a full member you can still join as an extra. You can help as an actor or a player in their videos. They are also looking for more people for another recording coming up this week.

It works for Java and Bedrock and even cracked players can join. The big idea is the role system where you can pick Passive if you want peace or pick PvP if you want chaos so different players can still play together.
The world has custom biomes and huge structures like ancient temples. There are rewards to find and it feels like it wants you to keep exploring.
There is player driven trading that is more like villager style trades and not a normal money shop. There are also PvP and Passive arenas where keep inventory is on only in the arena so you can practice without losing stuff.
