SurvivalMC is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to feel like normal Minecraft but a bit smoother. It runs on Minecraft 1.21.10 for both Java and Bedrock so lots of people can join.
From what I saw the server adds quality of life plugins and datapacks that do not ruin the normal survival feeling. The goal is to make gameplay better without turning it into a crazy modpack.
The community looks pretty active and friendly. They have a big discord with hundreds of members and the staff team is very active and ready to help players.
The server has been around since July 21st 2020 and they say it is lag free and focused on giving a nice survival experience. They are also celebrating a grand reopening after taking a break to improve things.
They use a plugin called Bluemap so you can check out the world map from the web and see all the builds from above.
If you want a long term semi vanilla survival world with an active community this server feels like a good pick.

Spugunke is a new SMP that is all about community and long term survival. The server just started so early players get to help shape the world and set the tone for how the community grows.
The main focus is on player made towns and teams. You can build shared bases farms and big projects or join groups that focus on pvp exploration or grinding resources. You can also play solo if you want. Both competitive and relaxed playstyles are welcome.
The rules are relaxed but still fair. Griefing stealing and random killing are not allowed. Pvp is only allowed when everyone agrees so fights are more like planned battles or friendly duels. Town or team wars can happen but only if both sides want it.
Spawn is meant to be a real community area not just a place you pass through once. Players can build there and hang out and it is supposed to feel like a shared hub for everyone.
The server supports full crossplay between Java and Bedrock so friends on different platforms can play together. It uses simple vanilla style plugins like tpa sethome spawn and CoreProtect plus Discord integration to keep things organized while staying close to normal survival.
There is an End event planned for later so players can gear up and prepare together. The server is also looking for moderators as the community grows.

Eden Block – No Reset Survival World
biome-based farmingCommunity Focusedemergent gameplaygrief resistant buildsLong-term Survivalminimal admin helpNo map resetsore progressionpersistent worldplayer nationsPlayer Politicsplayer-driven economySandbox Survivalsemi hardcore vibeSemi-Anarchicslow growth farmingSurvival multiplayerTrade-focusedVanilla Plusxp crop farms
Eden Block is a survival server that wants to last forever. The world is not supposed to reset so players can build a long term place that keeps its history.
The server mixes a few different styles. There is almost no admin intervention and what players do really matters. The goal is a player run world where groups and nations can grow over time.
You can use stone and other blocks to reinforce your builds. This makes griefing super hard because each reinforced block has to be broken many times. There are also snitch blocks that record what people do around them so you can track what happens to your stuff.
Mining and farming are different here. Ores can appear while you mine and biomes have different ore rates. Crops have different growth speeds in different biomes and some crops will not grow in some places at all. Crops take a while to grow even while chunks are unloaded and they are used to make XP in factories.
There is a plugin called Itemexchange that lets the economy grow naturally by the players. Shops are already set up and a central trade hub is being built by members of a few nations.
The server is pretty new but the core community has been together for almost ten years. They usually have around 15 to 25 players during peak time and they seem to really care about making a long term world.
