Pixel Springs is a cozy modded SMP on Minecraft 1.20.1 that is made to be long term and not reset all the time. It feels like a place where you can actually settle down and keep your builds forever.
The server is built for builders collectors farmers and chill players. There are a bunch of builder style mods so you can decorate your base a lot. There are also tons of farming mods so you can cook food and complete meals and you earn in game currency for doing that.
If you like collecting stuff there is a custom FTB Quests system that helps you track items and get rewards while you play. There are magic mods like Botania Hexerei Mystical Agriculture and Ars Noveau so magic players have a lot to learn and play with.
The server has in game currency and a shopping district where you can build your own shop and trade with other players. There is a resource world that gets reset sometimes so you do not have to ruin the main world when you go mining or exploring.
The community is small and friendly and the server started about three months ago so it still feels new but it is meant to last a really long time. There is an active admin team that answers questions and keeps working on the server and there are frequent backups so the world stays safe.

DogeM Semi Anarchy Vanilla Takeover
I found DogeM and it is a semi anarchy vanilla server that feels fresh and active. It runs 24/7 so you can hop on whenever.
People are always trying to team up or go solo. You can fight raid loot build and try to take over areas.
The next reset is planned for late May so it still feels worth joining now and getting set up with the community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCaliCraft Democracy Survival With Cobblemon
CaliCraft is a player run server based out of California where the whole point is that players can shape what happens. Every two weeks everyone elects an Emperor and that person can actually change a lot. They can add or remove plugins across gamemodes and make laws and even imprison people.
