I found a Java server that is running on version 1.21.
It is called Amethyst and it feels like it is meant for people who want to jump in and play on a modern version without a bunch of extra info to learn first.
There is not a lot of details posted about modes or rules so you kinda just join and see what the vibe is like.
Solo Leveling Style Survival RPG
DaemoniaCraft is a survival RPG server with a Solo Leveling kind of vibe. It is all about grinding and getting stronger over time in a way that actually feels earned.
You can jump into gates and dungeons and fight custom magic beasts. The server has a class system so you can build your character and keep progressing. Gear goes from E rank up to S rank and you level up by hunting crafting and trading.
It also has a towny style survival setup where you can claim land build cities and try to control big areas. There is a huge 1 to 750 scale Earth map plus custom generated worlds.
It supports Minecraft 1.21.10 and works on Java and Bedrock. It is also new and still being developed. The server says it is not pay to win and you can play at your own pace. There are events guild stuff and group PvE content too.

The main vibe is Towny with geopolitics and war. It is not meant to be heavy griefing or nonstop PvP. People are pushed to form towns and grow little communities that can work together and argue over land and power.
There is a server story with an entity named Misty who watches what happens and shows up in different forms. The world has borders and the server has jobs a culture system progression ranks and MCMMO. You also get chest locks an auction house player warps and player vaults.
Enchanting is a big deal here since vanilla enchantments are craftable using culture tablets. There are three tablet types called Power Freedom and Balance and your culture decides what you can craft. You cannot get everything alone so trading matters.
Gear progression is slowed down since villagers do not give enchanted books. You need to craft enchantments use the enchanting table or find loot in the world. There are also custom enchantments to boost gear for combat and war.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Pay To Win Modpack Network
Genesis Gaming Network is a growing Minecraft network that is trying to keep things fair and fun. The big deal here is no pay to win at all. There are no hidden donation ranks and no paid advantages.
Instead of buying perks you get time based ranks as you play more. It feels like they actually want you to earn stuff over time. They also say there is no locked content.
The community is small but tight and still growing. Staff is active and they say player feedback matters.
Right now they run a bunch of modpack servers like AllTheMons and ATM10 and All the Mods 10 To the Sky and Artifice and Industry and MC Eternal 2 and Homestead and Nightfall Craft. They are also working on launching more servers and they mention a Hytale server in development.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBanana Sandwich SMP Season 3 18+
I found Banana Sandwich SMP Season 3 and it is an 18+ survival server on Java 1.21.11. The world is about 2 months in so you are not stuck in the early grind. There is already infrastructure and an active shopping area plus a safe Mushroom Island hub.
This server makes proximity voice chat required so people actually talk while playing and it feels more real. The economy is diamond based and it is all player run with shops.
It also has some nice extra stuff like invisible item frames custom armor stands and you can sit and ride. There is a Bluemap too so you can see the world. They say it is zero pay to win and more about chill building and teamwork.
