I found a Minecraft Prison server being made on MineFort. It is still in development but you can already jump in and play.
It has achievements and it is meant to be a grindy prison style server. The owners are opening it up for people who want to join early and check it out.

I found a Minecraft server called Everbloom.
There is not much info posted about it so you kind of just join and see what it is like.

Pixel Springs is a cozy modded SMP on 1.20.1 that is made for people who want a long term world that does not reset. It feels welcoming and chill and it is built around builders collectors and cozy gamers.
The mod list is aimed at building and decorating so you can make really detailed homes and towns. There are also lots of farming and cooking mods so you can grow a huge variety of crops and complete meals for rewards using an in game currency system.
If you like collecting stuff there is a custom FTB Quests setup that helps guide you through mods and gives rewards while you play. Magic players have options too with mods like Botania Hexerei Mystical Agriculture and Ars Noveau.
There is a shopping district for player shops and a resource overworld dimension that resets sometimes so resources are not limited. The community is still in its earlier days since the server started a few months ago and there is an admin team around to help plus frequent backups.

This is a small Java SMP that stays close to vanilla and is all about building with long term plans. People here like big projects and hanging out while they play.
It is mainly adults only and it aims for a chill social vibe. You will see players in voice chat and also in game with proximity chat.
There are a few classic tweaks that do not mess with the normal challenges. Stuff like extra mob heads and player heads armor stand posing simple voice chat and a Discord to Minecraft chat link.
The rules are the usual common sense ones. No griefing no stealing no trolling no cheating and no unconsenting pvp. There is a quick application that is mostly a vibe check to keep bad actors out.

Bramble SMP is a modded Java roleplay survival server where you make a character and decide who you become. You can lean hard into roleplay or just play it like a normal SMP with building farming and exploring.
The vibe is medieval fantasy and the world has ongoing lore. You can build a small farmstead or try to grow a huge kingdom. Players can make towns form alliances and even start wars if that is the story they want.
It also has a currency system so people can trade open shops and hire others. Land claiming is there too so you can protect what you build. The server is whitelist only and you get in by submitting a character.
The main lore hook is about divine siblings and a realm called Bramble where souls were judged. The god of death vanished and now things are messed up and you can dig into that mystery while you play.
