I found this Minecraft hosting called Pixel Forge and it is all about simple servers that just run well. They use fast NVMe storage and modern CPUs and they tune everything for Minecraft and especially Paper. The plans are based on real performance not fake huge specs.
The Nano tier is super tiny and super cheap. It is for one or two players and just 1GB of RAM so it is only for small test worlds or simple survival. It is not meant for plugins or mods or big redstone.
The Budget tier is made for small friend groups. It has 1 vCore and 2GB of RAM so it can run a vanilla or Paper server with a few players without problems. It is not really for big modpacks or public networks.
The Medium tier gives 4GB of RAM and is good for growing communities. It can handle plugins and datapacks and longer play sessions and still stay stable.
The High tier is for more active servers. It has 2 vCores and 8GB of RAM so it can handle more players and more plugins and bigger farms with less TPS drops.
There is also an Ultra tier with 4 vCores and 16GB of RAM for even more demanding setups.
Overall Pixel Forge feels like it is built for people who want their Minecraft server to run smooth without paying for random useless specs.

This server is called Crusalis and it is all about war and building. It is described as the biggest Minecraft war server and it is also a huge place for builders.
You need to build if you want to get muskets so building actually matters for fighting. You can focus on making cool builds or you can jump into battles or you can do both.
If you want a server where building and fighting are connected this is the one. The community is centered around war and construction and players choose if they want to be fighters or builders or a mix of both.

Foggy Willows True Vanilla Survival

Foggy Willows is a server that really sticks to true vanilla. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks at all. There is no fancy spawn and no big story to read. You just join and survive.
The rules are simple. There is no teleport and no sethome. There are no donations and no world border. It is always on the latest stable vanilla jar and the server is self hosted on a machine that was built just for it.
Players are expected to handle their own problems. If you argue with someone you have to sort it out yourselves. You can play how you want and build what you want. Technical Minecraft players are welcome because nothing gets in the way of redstone or farms.
The world is on hard mode so mobs hit harder and survival feels more intense. There is also a Discord for people who want to talk and plan things. This server is for people who really want the quirks and challenges of real vanilla and not semi vanilla stuff.

Coffee Pot SMP Open No Whitelist
Adventure WorldBedrock SupportCasual playersChill CommunityCOMMUNITY SERVERcreative buildingfriendly vibeshardcore challengeHome HostedJava SurvivalLand Protectionlong-term worldmodded survivalMulti WorldPlayer EconomyQuest GameplaySemi Vanillasmall serverStress testSurvival multiplayer
I found this server called The Coffee Pot SMP and it feels like someones cool home project that is finally ready for more people.
It is a Minecraft network with five different worlds. There is a main SMP world with an economy system land claiming and some quests so you can actually have stuff to work on. There is also a hardcore world if you like playing on the edge and an adventure world that uses their old realms map so it has some history.
They also have a creative world and a modded world with cobblemon but those are still whitelisted so they are more locked down.
For a few days the owner turned off the whitelist on the main stuff so new players can join and help stress test. If you like it you can ask to be put on the whitelist later. The server runs Java but it also lets Bedrock players join so more people can play together.
The whole thing feels like a small chill community that is just starting to grow and they want people who actually enjoy the game to try it out.
