Renegade SMP is a Java survival server that is all about community and long term play. It is for players who are 18 or older and it is on a whitelist so people who join actually want to be there.
The server feels like vanilla Minecraft but with some small quality of life upgrades and a few fun plugins. Nothing is crazy modded so it still plays like normal survival. The world is permanent so there are no resets. You can build as big as you want and not worry about your stuff getting wiped.
There is a friendly and active player base that hangs out and builds together. There are shared places like a shopping district and they are working on a gaming district too. It is good if you like building exploring redstone or trading with other players.
The server is against pay to win and wants fair play. It is made for people who are tired of toxic servers chaos and dead worlds. If you want a calm long term survival home with adults this is the type of server that fits.
The server runs on Minecraft version 1.21.9.

MineRealm Classic SMP No Resets

MineRealm is a public SMP that has been running since 2010 and a ton of players have joined over the years. It feels like a long term survival place where people actually stick around and build stuff together.
The server stays close to vanilla but it adds a few custom features to help the community and keep survival interesting. The map is smaller and it expands over time with new land generating on the latest Minecraft version.
It is 100 percent legit survival with no pay to win and no item spawning. Builds are protected with a classic plot system and grief protection using CoreProtect. There are no world resets so your builds can stay forever and the world is shaped by players not prefab hubs.

always online gameplaybuilder friendly survivallong-term worldterraforming projectstown building crew
I found a Vanilla Java SMP that is starting Season 2 on a fresh world but it is inside an already established server. It feels like a place where your builds are supposed to last and not get wiped out fast.
When you join you spawn in a central hub and you can pick where you want to play. There is the brand new Season 2 world. There is also a Season 1 world that has over 2300 in game days and it is already built up. There is also a creative superflat world for testing and planning.
The server runs on 1.21.11 Java using PaperMC and it is online 24 7. It is whitelisted and you have to join the Discord and apply to get in. They say it keeps out griefers and protects long term builds. It is meant to feel like pure vanilla with only light quality of life and protection plugins and no mods or gameplay changes.
The community is small and chill and focused on building. It sounds best for people who want towns cities castles mega bases terraforming and big community projects for the long run.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPQuesting Modpack Server With Races

I found a modded survival server that is tied to a story based questing pack called Banished To The Wastelands. It is in public beta and they want playtesters. You can test it on the server or you can do it in singleplayer survival.
The server usually has a small group on at a time. Right now it averages around a few players.
The pack has a lot of content already with about one and a half dimensions worth of stuff and over 20 bosses. Some bosses are custom made. There are 156 mods and the pack is built so most of them feel changed to fit the same theme.
When you join you pick a race and a fighting style. That choice decides what combat and utility skills you can unlock. Your abilities grow as you defeat more enemies.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStrengthSMP Style Semi Vanilla PvP

I found a semi vanilla PvP server that is inspired by StrengthSMP and it is all about getting stronger from fights.
When you kill players you get a strength boost and if you drop down to minus 10 strength you get eliminated with a ban. There is also a revive beacon system so other players can bring you back with an unban.
It has a custom spawn and a custom nether portal area plus a massive 100k by 100k worldborder so there is tons of room to play. The server started on the first of janurary and the owner says events can happen once more players join.
They also mention the server runs on 24GB of ram and a CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads at 4.60 GHz.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMech Rehabilitated Modded Fresh Restart

Mech Rehabilitated is a modded Minecraft server with a small friendly and active community. It feels like the kind of place you hop on after work or classes and just vibe while still doing big adventures.
The modpack has 300 plus mods so there is a lot to mess with. People explore and loot huge structures. They fight bosses and try to get crazy strong. If you are more of a farmer type there is also a big cooking side with lots of recipes.
Some of the mods mentioned are Create Alexs Mobs and caves Terramity Farmers Delight with addons Cataclysm Etched and little picture frames for community movie nights. The server just came back with a brand new version of the modpack and a clean slate. It is whitelist only and you join by filling out a short form.
