This server is called RefinedVanilla and it is a true vanilla anarchy world. There are basically no rules except you cannot use hacked clients. You can build bases destroy stuff explore far away and try weird experiments. It tries to stay exactly how Mojang made Minecraft so it feels like singleplayer but with other people.
The owner uses Fabric so the game keeps real vanilla mechanics. Redstone works like it should. TNT chains and piston machines act like singleplayer. Tick timings stay the same so technical players can make farms and machines without everything breaking.
The performance is tuned a lot. The server changes simulation distance mobcaps and render distance while people are online. This keeps it running smooth even when more players join.
There are a few gameplay notes. The nether roof is allowed so you can travel super fast. Chunk trailing is patched. Portal chunkloaders will work but they stop when no player is close in either dimension.
If you want a server that feels like real vanilla Minecraft with almost total freedom this one is pretty close.
RefinedVanilla True Anarchy Survival
ASIA INFUSE SMP HARDCORE PVP GRIND
I found an Asia based SMP running Minecraft Java 1.21.10 and it is built around the Infuse plugin. The whole point is real progression where you grind fight and get stronger over time.
It is pure survival and they are serious about it. No teleports no warps and no handouts so you have to earn everything.
The world border is 3000 by 3000 and the server is online 24 7 with offline mode support. They say it is made for competitive PvP and every fight matters.
The vibe is confident PvPers trying to dominate. There is no pay to win and no unfair advantages so it is all skill strategy and teamwork.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOverCraft Semi Vanilla SMP With Progression
OverCraft is a small new SMP server that feels close to vanilla but with extra stuff to keep you busy.
It has land claims so you can protect your builds and your items and feel safe while you play.
I also saw custom items and extra enchants plus tools and armour and abilities. There are crates too and skills and minions and jobs and more.
This server has a lot of content and some of it takes grinding which is good if you like working for your upgrades and seeing it pay off.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPolaris Croatia Kingdom Needs You
Polaris is a server group built around the Kingdom of Croatia. The whole point is to build a strong country and have fun together.

I found a cracked vanilla SMP server that keeps it simple and focused on survival with other players.
It looks like a regular SMP world where you just join in and play vanilla Minecraft with a community vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Towny Factions SMP With Honor PvP
ArcticMC is a brand new SMP that started a couple days ago. It is a chill survival server that mixes Towny and factions so you can build a town and claim land then make alliances or fight over territory.
PvP matters here but it is not just random chaos. They use an honor system and it is explained in their Discord rules so fights are supposed to stay fair.
The server also has McMMO so you can level up skills while you play and unlock abilities. There are custom items too and they even have furniture that is entity based so they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and valleys. The community is meant to be calm and friendly so you can grind build explore or just vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
