CaliCraft is a player run Minecraft server where the community shapes what happens. Every two weeks players elect an Emperor and that person can actually change the server. They can add or remove plugins across any gamemode make laws and even imprison people including staff.
If you get marked as a fugitive you can end up spawning in prison when you die. You can also get dragged in handcuffs if you get caught. The Emperor has to follow a Constitution but they can make temporary laws during their reign. Some laws can become permanent through a 3 day Discord poll.
There is a lobby first and it helps you jump into different gamemodes fast. The server supports versions 1.17.1 to 1.21.10 and it supports both Java and Bedrock.
The gamemodes include Modded Survival with custom enchantments skills jobs an auction house an economy custom dungeons and vote crates with epic gear. It is a claim world with a kingdom run by the Emperor. There is also Vanilla Survival with quests chest sorting and daily rewards. Skyblock is here too with classic islands and some addons.
There is also a Cobblemon mode on a separate Fabric server so you need the Cobblemon modpack installed. The server has a custom resource pack with unique mobs animals elites and dungeon bosses with special drops so it does not feel like plain vanilla.

Solo Leveling Towny Kingdoms on Earth

DaemoniaCraft is a survival server that mixes Solo Leveling vibes with medieval kingdoms on a huge Earth map. Players start as E Rank hunters and try to climb all the way up to S Rank. You unlock custom skills and chase better gear by finding crafting and trading.
The world is all about kingdoms and territory. You can build castles and fortresses and fly your banners. Alliances can happen and so can betrayals and wars. You can conquer big areas or just build a small fishing village and stay out of trouble.
Gates open around the map and they bring dangerous monsters and dungeon bosses. Kingdoms can team up to clear them and grab the rewards and resources. If you control the gates you get a big advantage.
The economy is player driven with markets and jobs. Towns take shared effort to maintain and territory generates valuable resources. The server says it has no wipes and no seasonal resets so progress is meant to last long term.

Croak Craft is a friendly SMP on Java using Fabric 1.21.11. It is meant to feel like real vanilla survival and everyone is welcome no matter who they are.
The world is kept clean and fair. There is no creative mode used and there is no fancy spawn. Admin commands get shown in chat so it is easier to trust what is going on.
The server is up all day and night. It also uses Carpet mod so bots can stay AFK at farms.
They take rules seriously. Griefing and stealing are not allowed and there are options for players who want PvP and players who want to stay peaceful. Hackers and xray users get permanently banned if it is proven.
The server starts on March 21 so it is a good time to join on day one and grow with the community.

I found LegionCraft and it is a OneBlock server that is all about grinding and getting stronger.
It says there is no pay to win so you win by skill and time played.
The big thing here is the bosses. You fight them and try to get rare key drops. Those keys can open crates and the crates give powerful gear and big rewards.
It also has a custom OneBlock world where you expand as you grind. It supports crossplay and there is a Bedrock port too.
