I found Broomstix SMP and it is a hard difficulty server that works for both Java and Bedrock players. It runs on the latest version with backwards compatibility so people can still get in.
The server has custom enchantments and a cool trick where you can put a lead on mobs to teleport them. There is land claiming with ProtectionStones and the rules say no grief so your builds can stay safe.
There is a bartering economy system plus server shops and a public market. You can also use homes and private messaging and player teleport commands so it is easy to meet up.
PvP is mostly in an exclusive main arena and you keep inventory there. Random teleport is allowed in the overworld and every Sunday you get free fly in the overworld.
The community stuff is strong too with Minecraft and Discord integration and responsive staff. They even do homework help on Discord and there are voting ranks and rewards and tutorial warps.
Build a Nation in ATM10

I found a modded server called Iperios that runs on All the Mods 10 version 5.5. The main idea is nations where players can make their own group with a government plus laws and ranks.
If you do not want to start your own nation you can join one that already exists. To get in you join their Discord and ask for whitelist then check the new player info channel for what to do next.
After you get whitelisted a staff member helps you and gives a beginner kit so you can start playing. You need the ATM10 modpack installed on version 5.5 to join.WebsiteDiscord
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGerman Vanilla Survival With Chill QoL

I found a small server for German players that is mostly vanilla and is about having fun and playing Minecraft together.
It has some simple QoL commands like a home command and an enderchest command so getting around and managing stuff feels easier.
The server is whitelist only so you have to get approved before you can join.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Semi Anarchy SMP PVP Grind

I found a brand new Minecraft Java semi anarchy SMP that is built for a fun and tough PVP experience.
The vibe is Diamond SMP since netherite is not allowed. Ender pearls have limits and you cannot use elytra in combat. Maces have a cooldown plus enchantment restrictions but you can still get infinite maces.
It also has playtime rewards and it is not pay to win. The rewards can help you get shulker boxes before the End opens which happens one week after launch.
The server is launching later today so it feels like a fresh start where everyone is trying to get good fast.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMinedHype Long-Term Vanilla SMP
Builder friendly landjava bedrock togetherOverworld nether foreverRTP adventure startVanilla-style gameplay
MinedHype is a friendly long term public survival server that has been run by the same owner for 6 years. It started back in 1.14 and it has had over 19400 unique players join.
It feels mostly vanilla and it runs on Minecraft 1.21.11. There is no pay to win and there is no money economy plugin so trading is done with player run shops using item trades.
You can protect your builds with claims and CoreProtect is used to help protect the server too. Grief is allowed if you did not claim the area so you should claim your stuff.
The Overworld and Nether are meant to stay long term and they will not be reset. There is no set world border or spawn and players spawn randomly within the first 40k blocks. You can also use rtp to go within 50k blocks and then set a home.
Java and Bedrock players can play together. There is a web map you can use and chat reports are disabled. There are free events with prizes and a public shopping district where people can apply for a shop.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPReal Vanilla Hardmode No Plugins Survival

Foggy Willows is a server for people who want real vanilla survival. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks.
The spawn is not fancy and there is not a big story to read first. You just join and play how you want. Build what you want and do your own thing.
It is hard mode and there is no tp and no sethome. There is also no world border so you can keep traveling.
Players are expected to handle their own social problems. The server is self hosted on a machine made for it and it stays on the latest stable vanilla version. There are no donations and there is a Discord.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTwo Worlds Server Risk vs Safety

This server has two worlds right next to spawn and they are super different.
One world is for danger. PVP is on and there is no grief protection so anything can happen. The whole point is to gather materials and ores and make farms like sugar cane cactus and pumpkin. You sell what you get to the server shop for money. This world resets once in a while like every 2 months.
The other world is small like 500×500. It is protected with no PVP and you can claim land so it cannot be griefed. Automatic farms are not allowed there and this world does not reset.
The owner is also looking for people to join and help make the server.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Whitelisted Survival With Lasting Builds

Farmlands is a cozy Minecraft survival server that feels small and calm. It is whitelisted so people take it slower and builds and farms actually matter.
The main world is meant to last so you can settle in and keep working on long term projects. There is also a separate resource world that resets so you can gather materials without messing up the place you call home.
Gameplay stays close to vanilla with a few quality of life features and a custom advancement pack for extra goals. The rules are strict about no griefing no stealing and no toxicity.
The economy is player driven so you can trade or run your own shop. There are no ranks and no pay to win so it stays fair.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPZest Creative Citybuild With Optional Geopolitics

Zest Creative is a creative city build server with a long running tight knit community. People join to build big projects together on a very large custom terrain world.
There is optional geopolitical roleplay with lore and worldbuilding. You can mark a claim and it gets shown on the live map so you can start your own story. If you are not into roleplay you can just build your city and ignore it.
To get in you join the Discord first and do a short application. It is mainly there to keep griefers out. After that you can earn access to WorldEdit and other helpful commands.
The rules are pretty laid back and there are events sometimes. Staff and players are often online to chat and give build feedback and team up on projects.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Garden SMP Life and Roleplay

The Garden is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that is built for worldbuilding adventure and roleplay. It uses a bunch of plugins to add flavor without turning it into a pay to win mess.
The big hook is the life system. You start with 3 lives and you only lose them through PvP. When you run out you become a ghost and now you are on the other side of the veil.
Some vanilla stuff is turned off to fit the roleplay better like elytra and ender chests so people actually build roads and travel systems. You can lock chests with trial keys and you can craft lockpicks to break into stuff. There are chest shops and you can brew alcohol and beers plus lots of QoL things.
When you join you wake up on top of the clouds and you have to stick the landing. Then you head down the Monolith pick a race like Human Halfling Orc or Elf and wake up at the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna. From there you can sail out to explore or settle with other players. The vibe is relaxed with optional challenges and the staff and mods are active and attentive.
