Atclan SMP is a survival multiplayer server that runs all day and night. It is a place where you can meet players who feel friendly or run into players who feel like enemies.
The whole point is making your own storyline as you play. You can try to be the hero or go full villain and see how your path turns out.
It supports both Java and Bedrock so more people can join the same world and just play it out.
Dark Ages Kingdom Wars SMP
Light roleplay allowedNaval travel adventuresOrganized team eventsOverhauled combatSiege warfare fights
I found Dark Ages and it is a team based SMP with 30 players total. Everyone is split into teams of 5 and you try to build up your teams kingdom.
It stays pretty close to vanilla so it does not feel like a huge mod soup. Combat is changed with Better Combat so fights are a bigger deal.
To grow and defend your kingdom you use mods like Talhanations Recruits and Workers. There are also Siege Weapons and Small Ships plus Almiris Weapons so battles can get wild on land and on water.
Even with all the strategy and fighting the server wants people to stay civil and respectful. Role play is welcome and small beef is fine as long as it stays good natured.

FrogSMP is a semi vanilla survival server that wants things to feel wild but still fair. It has pvp and some semi anarchy freedom but cheating and exploiting is a hard no. If you try hacked clients x ray or dupes you are getting clapped by staff.
The pvp rules are serious. You cannot log out to dodge fights and you cannot use the spawn command during combat. There is also a grace period at the start where pvp is off for the first 3 hours so people can get going.
Stealing is allowed only if you are a real enemy. If you are not an enemy then taking stuff is not ok. Griefing anything gets you banned so builds are not meant to get wiped for no reason.
It is Java only so Bedrock players cannot join. Netherite upgrades are disabled so diamond stays important. There is also only one mace for the whole server and whoever crafts it first is the only one who can have it.
You can set your spawn with spawnpoint and use a spawn command to save time. The vibe is goofy but staff still runs the place and they expect people to chill and not bully or lag the server with giant lag farms.

ArcticMC is a brand new survival server that mixes Towny and faction style play. It feels chill but you can still fight for land and make alliances or just do your own thing.
PVP matters here and they try to keep it fair with an honor system that is explained in their rules. There is also McMMO so you level up skills while you play and unlock abilities later.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys. They also have custom items and furniture that is entity based so they plan limits to help with lag.
The community vibe is calm and friendly so it seems good if you want to build explore grind or just hang out.
