Phoenix SMP is a Java semi vanilla survival server that just started a new season. It is built for long term world building and exploration. The community is small and they want new members to join in and stick around.
This place is 18 plus and LGBTQ friendly. They use pronoun roles in their Discord. People are friendly and it feels more like a group of friends than a random lobby.
They are trying jobs and a bit of roleplay this season. There are also team advancements if you want to cooperate. The economy is a mix of player shops and public farms so it does not feel too grindy.
They have strict rules against griefing and stealing. The server runs Paper on version 1.21.11. They use quality of life stuff like custom nether portals more mob heads player heads fast leaf decay enderman anti grief universal dyeing armor statues armored elytra and cauldron concrete plus CoreProtect. All add ons and changes get decided by a community vote.

Real SMP With PvP And Raids

This server is an SMP that actually lets you fight. It is built around PvP and the whole risk of getting jumped while you play. If you like the thrill of not being totally safe this one is aiming for that.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPArkumSMP Desert Wasteland Duo Survival Games

ArkumSMP is a community server running a competitive Duo Survival Games event on a hand made Desert Wasteland map. It does not use normal world generation so the whole place is built for fights and smart movement.
The gameplay is meant to feel like pure Survival Games with custom coded chest tables. Loot is made to be fair and it pushes you to explore the map.
You can bring a partner or get paired up in the lobby. Expect open dunes for long range fights and tight ruins for close up battles. The event is on Java 1.20.1 and it is whitelisted so you have to join first and get your IGN added then show up early for the briefing and kit selection.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTHE ARCADE TOOK OVER SPAWN

I found this server where the spawn has an arcade that is fully playable. It has pool snake 2048 minesweeper and reaction time. It was meant to be a small thing to do between grinds.
Now it is the main event. People log in walk straight to the arcade and stay there for hours. The spawn arcade stays packed a lot.
There is still a bunch of other stuff too like custom armor sets world bosses a player driven economy bug catching and custom farming. It feels like there is always something to do even if you just want to chill at spawn.

I found a small Semi Vanilla SMP that is in testing right now.
They said the real start is in about a week so it feels like a fresh join where you can get in early and help test things.
It is meant to stay close to vanilla survival and keep it simple with a small group vibe.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Fabric Vanilla SMP

FabricCraft is a new survival server that sticks close to the base game and feels more open ended. It is semi anarchy so most things are allowed and the world is meant to last.
There are no land claims and there are no resets so the map can build real history over time. Alliances and trade and raids and rivalries just happen naturally from players.
The server runs on Fabric so redstone and farms work the way you expect. It also has Simple Voice Chat if you want to talk in game.
Hacked clients and unfair mods are not allowed. Griefing is not allowed within 1k of spawn and moderators handle that instead of claim systems.
There is also a creative world with no plot system so you can plan big builds before you do them in survival.
