I found a vanilla SMP that is open for people to join.
It has a Java address and a Bedrock address so players on both can get in.
If you want normal survival with other people this is basically that.
Eden Permanent World With 2500 Players
Eden is a Minecraft server that is trying something different. The world is meant to be permanent and it does not wipe when people get bored. Your builds are supposed to last and the server has tools and special mechanics to help protect your land.
The world is tough because resources are scarce. Farming is also more challenging because crops are locked to certain biomes. There are industrial factories too so players can build bigger systems and not just small bases.
What makes it feel alive is that admins do not force events. Players make the wars and the political deals and the trade networks by themselves. The world map and the wiki are kept up by the community. There is even a custom printing press factory so players can publish books about their faction lore and laws and religions and it all gets archived on the wiki.
It feels like a big real time fictional universe made by the players and it wants more people to jump in and leave a mark.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAdult Vanilla SMP That Never Resets
I found Xapros SMP and it is a chill vanilla survival server for adults only. It has players from lots of places so it feels like someone is online at almost any time.
The world is meant to be long term since it started in January 2025 and they say they will not reset. It is a good place for huge projects and megabuilds. Peak time looks busy with around 20 to 25 players online.
It runs on Fabric so redstone and farms act like singleplayer. They also added BlazeandCave advancements if you want extra goals.

Travel is easier with a Nether ice boat highway and there is a nice spawn plus a diamond shopping area.

The Driftlands is a fresh Minecraft survival world on Java Edition that is made for long term play and big builds.
The main idea is kingdoms and factions where players build settlements then grow them into towns cities and nations. People can team up make alliances or start rivalries and slowly create shared lore.
There is a strange portal in the center called The Drift and it is a big mystery in the world. Some players treat it like something sacred while others want to study it or try to control it.

This is a modded modern apocalypse survival server called Parasitus. The whole thing is set in a quarantined zone named Alpigus and it feels like a horror story that is actually happening.
For the first 7 days everyone is trapped inside the zone while the quarantine wall still has power. When the grid fails the wall opens and the Nether unlocks and the End becomes reachable so the server suddenly gets way bigger.
There is also a huge deadline where a nuke drops inside the wall and wipes everything in the zone. If you do not escape in time you are basically finished.
It is not hardcore and there is land claim so people cannot grief or force PVP on you. But it does not stop stealing and PVP can be toggled in claims with commands so you still have to be careful.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Bedrock Realm Towny Survival

I found this competitive survival SMP that runs on a simple strength system. When you kill a player you gain 1 strength. When you die you lose 1 strength. Your strength shows how well you are doing so every fight feels important.
The server is hosted in EU London. It has proximity voice chat so you can hear people nearby which makes fights and meetups feel intense.
