Rosedalean SMP is a newer Minecraft survival server that is trying to grow its community. It is a whitelist server for players 18 and older and it runs as enhanced vanilla with add ons so you do not need to install mods.
From what I can see the community is pretty welcoming and they want people who actually play and are active. There are factions you can join or you can make your own group and try to become the strongest team. You can also just build a cute village with friends if that is more your style.
The server runs events like a colosseum battle arena and even a Secret Santa event. There is simple voice chat for easier talking. There are Terralith biomes so exploring the world feels a lot cooler. They also use a bluemap so players can keep track of what has been explored.
There is an easy ticket system so you can ask for help or report stuff. The owners say they take the community seriously and want suggestions so the server can improve. Overall it feels like a friendly SMP for adults who want a fresh but long term world with extra features but still a vanilla feel.

AeternalCiv is a geopolitical civilization building server where players try to make their own path. You can live as a citizen. You can try to be a king or queen. You can also just be a hermit and do your own thing.
It has building protection with reinforcement using Citadel. It also uses Snitchmod so actions can get tracked. There are extra systems like Slimefun and Origins plus Brewery and ValhallaMMO. The world also has seasons and levelled mobs so survival can feel more RPG.

SwiftServers is a free Minecraft hosting platform that is trying to be the opposite of the usual free host pain. It is made to feel fast and simple and they say the panel is fully custom and built from scratch so it is lightweight and easy to use.
It works for a chill vanilla SMP with friends or a Paper server. They also support Spigot and Fabric plus server types like Hytale Luanti and ClassiCube.
They talk a lot about being safe too with DDoS protection and a backup system so you can create and restore backups fast.
The plan they highlight comes with 8 GB RAM a Ryzen 5 3600 10 GB NVMe storage and a 1 Gbit uplink. They also say they do not cap player slots and you can get a server going in under a minute with no credit card.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPProgressive Anarchy From 1.0.0
I found Specterium and it is an anarchy survival server that is trying to feel like a museum of Minecraft. It starts on Minecraft 1.0.0 and then it updates every week to the next major version until it gets to the modern era.
The big deal is you can mess with the weird stuff from each version and try to get discontinued items like alpha slabs and other old blocks. They also say they will not patch exploits or dupes until the server reaches the modern versions so each era has its own broken tricks.
The server has been around since 2019 and this is their third opening. The old world files were not shared so this is a brand new map and everyone is starting over.
It is true anarchy with one rule. Do not try to lag or crash the server on purpose. Other than that it is all on you and stealing griefing and exploits are part of the game.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBedrock Star Wars Factions Survival RP
This is a Bedrock server that mixes survival with Star Wars style roleplay. You pick a side between the New Republic and the Empire and each team has their own cosmetics and upgrades.
Most of the action is faction wars with PvP battles plus raids and attacks with territory control. There are Discord bounties too so people always have a reason to hunt each other.
Both teams can get ships and use them for fighting or moving around. Combat ships have weapons and ammo limits and overheating and you can even crash. Fighter ships are smaller and easier to control and more ships get added as the server keeps growing.
You can collect droids from loot boxes and trade or sell them for credits. Rare droids are planned to give combat or economy advantages later. There are also lightsabers and Force stuff with some rare colors and PvP duels and blocking and more abilities that are still being worked on.
The server runs in seasons with a reset every 2 to 3 months so items and ships and progress wipe. Donators get a gold VIP tag and their names get saved on Discord. There are in game and Discord roles like Troopers Officers and Pilots and the server plans to add more planets and weapons and vehicles each season.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLilacMC Towny SMP No Resets
