Reedwood SMP is a new crossplay server that is trying to be a safe place for people who just want to chill and make friends. The whole idea is to give players a spot where they can relax and feel comfortable.
The server is still in development so they keep things pretty controlled. You join the discord then fill out a simple application and then you can connect. It feels more like a small community instead of a giant random server.
Roleplay is a big part of the vibe here. They want players who like to tell stories or act out characters but also people who just want a calm survival place. The staff team is pretty active and they say they are there to help with anything you need.
The server is meant for ages 14 and up so it stays a bit more mature and safe. They really focus on making your interactions with other players as good as possible and they try hard to keep the community kind and welcoming.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNations at War Political SMP

I found this political SMP where players make nations and try to get more powerful through relationships and deals.
You can start your own country and build its story over time. The whole point is diplomacy and betrayal and even propaganda like real life.
People can set up armies and also plan an economy inside their nation. The admins help when problems happen and they listen to suggestions since the server is still developing and trying to get better.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLong-Term Chill Java SMP No Wipes

I found a small community Java survival server that has been running for about 8 months and it is meant to be long term with no wipes planned. It is 16 plus and the people there seem to want a calm and more mature vibe.
The gameplay feels close to vanilla since it uses plugins and not mods. There are no claims and there are no locked chests. There is also no home or teleport commands so you actually travel and build like normal.
Building is a big deal here and people make themed group areas. There are ancient styles like Aztec and Egyptian. There is medieval and a modern city theme too. You can also build sci fi or magic areas plus underground and Asian inspired zones.
They use proximity voice chat and you have to use it. If you like slower progress big builds and long projects this server looks like a good fit.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCommunity Vanilla SMP With Clear Rules

This is a community driven vanilla SMP that is trying to bring together around 25 to 30 players.
The vibe is chill and respectful. PvP is only allowed if both people agree. Griefing is not allowed. You are expected to respect other players boundaries and builds.
If you want a simple survival place with clear rules and a growing group this server is aiming for that.
