Marthia Nations is a semi vanilla server that feels like a big long story. It used to be a normal SMP and slowly turned into a nations server. The current world has been running for over three years so there is a lot of history everywhere you go.
On this server people build empires and fight battles. You can use working ships and planes with plugins like Movecraft. Some people focus on wars and strategy. Other players just build a small quiet base and relax. It really depends on what you like.
There are plugins like Brewery where you can make drinks and Dynmap so you can see the world map in real time. Geyser lets more players join in different ways. The server is semi vanilla so it still feels like normal Minecraft but with extra tools.
The community seems pretty friendly and the staff team is helpful. It is more than just a random server. It is a place where people know each other and build stuff together over a long time.

This is a big civilization style Minecraft event with room for 100 players. It is inspired by Ishs civilization events so it has that kind of organized and competitive vibe.
To join you have to go to their discord and submit an application. So it is not just randoms joining and leaving all the time. It feels more serious and more focused on people who actually want to play.
The owner says they have strong hardware with 64 gigabytes of ram and an intel xeon silver cpu and a big ssd. So the server should run smooth when a lot of players are online.
If you want a big event with lots of players and more of a civilization feel instead of just normal survival this server looks pretty cool.

Puffer SMP is a hermitcraft inspired survival server that is made for adults only. They use a strict application so no kids or random griefers get in and the playerbase stays mature.
The server feels very community focused. People like to work together on big builds and farms and they plan fun stuff like minigames shenanigans and secret bases. There is a shopping district with a working economy so players can trade and make their own shops.
They run the SMP on a strong machine with 64gb ram and it stays up 24 7. There is also a creative server where players can design builds together using tools like World Edit and Axiom. Both servers have Bluemap so you can see the world from the web.
The staff team is active and helpful and they host regular fun events. There is also a Reddit page to keep everyone updated. The whole vibe is that this is a place you join and then never want to leave because the community is so positive.
If you want a mature hermitcraft style SMP with an active community and serious application process this server is exactly about that.

This is a lifesteal style Minecraft server where PvP actually matters. You gain hearts when you kill other players and you lose hearts when you die. If you lose all your hearts you get banned so every fight is a big deal.
There is a one hour grace period for new players so you do not lose hearts right away. It gives you some time to get gear and learn the server before things get super serious.
The server has simple teleport commands like sethome home tpa and tpaccept so you can move around and play with friends easily. There is a plugin that stops people from using commands in combat and it punishes combat logging by spawning an npc that can still be killed and drops your stuff.
There are protections against crazy speed cheats and against really bad chat spam so things stay somewhat fair. You can spend vote tokens in an in game shop to get custom name colors and custom motds. The server also tracks your playtime kills and deaths and gives rewards when you hit certain milestones.
You can even vote to skip the night by typing goodnight so you are not stuck in the dark if enough players agree.

Horizoncraft is a community SMP that feels really friendly and chill. When I joined it felt like everyone already knew each other but they still welcomed new players. People talk a lot and the vibes are pretty relaxed.
The server is mostly vanilla survival. Players build everything in survival and the world feels natural. Sometimes the community votes to use creative mode for a special event or project but that does not happen a lot.
Players do a bunch of different stuff. Some people focus on PvP. Some record videos or stream. Around spawn there is a kind of civilization where people build cool bases and share resources. Other players just go off on their own and live in the wild.
There are player made events and little minigames that keep things interesting. Everyone seems to help each other and it feels like the server wants to grow slowly with kind players instead of trying to be super huge right away.
If you want a community survival server with good vibes and different play styles all in one place Horizoncraft is pretty solid.
