I found a small geopolitics style Minecraft server called 5tarRock and it is semi vanilla on Java.
It has a medieval times vibe and it uses a bunch of in house made plugins to help it feel like that.
The server also has a huge detailed custom map that tries to be realistic like a planets geography.
The owner is redoing the server right now and they want a more active community instead of a big older playerbase.
Balanced Non OP Prison With PvE Lair
RiotBlockMC is a new Prison server that is still in beta and it is not the kind where you max out fast. The progress is slower and feels more fair so you actually have to work for it.
It has a balanced economy with classic rank progression and custom enchants that are meant to work for long term play. The server is being updated a lot right now and they say there is no pay to win stuff.
There is also a PvE area called the Wardens Lair where you fight mobs and loot dungeons to make money instead of only mining. The mobs scale in difficulty so it can get risky but the rewards are better.
They are testing the economy the mob difficulty and how fast progression should be. Progress made during beta will not be reset. It is Java 1.21+.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBedrock Factions Realm With Hardcore Twist
I found a Bedrock factions realm that is starting up and looking for players.
It has a few quality of life mods like tree capitator.
The rules and how stuff works will be decided by polls once everyone is in the Discord. There is a mace limit a 3 life hardcore setup and a smaller world border.
You answer a questionnaire and then you get a Discord friend request.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBeeetCraft Chill Vanilla Plus SMP
BeeetCraft is a small Vanilla plus survival world that just started and it is whitelist only. It is meant for people who want a chill place and want their builds to last.
The gameplay stays close to vanilla with quality of life tweaks and nothing that feels overpowered. Netherite is turned off and the End is not open yet so progress stays more balanced.
Players help decide where the server goes next by voting on features and updates. The vibe is slower and long term with towns that form naturally plus shops and a real player economy.
The server is on a dedicated self hosted machine and the whitelist is there to keep griefing out. Events are planned and they also want to add quests and jobs later.
Right now people have been shaping the center spawn and new players can join early and help build it up.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Fabric Modded World With Voice Chat

This is a chill Minecraft Java server running 1.20.1 on Fabric and it is for 18+ players.
It is a small server with about 5 to 6 regular people and they want a few more friendly players. They use their own mod list with extra monsters plus weapons armor and furniture so the world has more stuff to find and use.
The main vibe is exploring and building a world that feels lived in. People make cozy bases shared towns and paths and they go on random adventures together.
They also use proximity voice chat so you can talk while building or when you run into someone. It is not meant to be sweaty and everyone plays at their own pace with cooperative good vibes.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTHE BEST JAVA 1.21.5 SERVER

World of Sidürgate is a civilizations server with organic roleplay and storytelling. People make characters and build nations based on whatever ideals they want.

AeternalCiv is a geopolitical civilization building server where you can try to build a life and a name for yourself. You can be a citizen in a group or run your own place as a king or queen or just stay solo as a hermit.

I found a Lifesteal SMP on a tight 1000 by 1000 world border so everyone runs into each other a lot. It is built for pvp strategy and survival and it is meant to feel competitive.
The lifesteal rules are simple. If you kill a player you gain hearts and if a player kills you then you lose hearts. Mobs do not change your hearts so it is all about player fights.
The unique thing is Spirit Mode. When you would die at 1 heart you turn into a spirit instead of just being out. You drop your inventory and you cannot interact or attack or pick up items. You are invisible and invulnerable and you get 30 minutes to survive as a spirit and the timer keeps going even if you log off.
If your spirit timer runs out you get sent back to spawn and your hearts reset to 2. Then you are back in survival and you keep playing. The server is planned to go live in about 1 to 2 days depending on how many players join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
