I found a survival civilization server called Ruby Civ and it is built for people who want to simulate society in Minecraft.
You can join civilizations and pick a life that sounds fun like merchant thief tyrant or even a king or queen. It is mostly players doing their own thing and the big rule is no hacking and no xraying.
It works on both Java and Bedrock so more friends can join together. The owner says it is heavily optimized and aiming for no lag.
The server is starting this Friday so it feels like a fresh start where everyone can jump in early.

No Claims Survival Where Anything Goes

SmithCraft is a survival server with the old school vibe where you are on your own and anything can happen. There are no land claims so your base is only safe if you protect it yourself.
PvP is on and griefing raiding and stealing are all allowed. The rules are super small and basically come down to do not hack and do not try to crash or lag the server on purpose.
It is mostly vanilla survival with a little quality of life stuff and no pay to win junk. The world is meant to last with no resets so what you build or destroy sticks around.
Even with all the chaos the people are known for being chill and doing huge group projects. The server runs on the latest Minecraft Java 1.21.11 and it also supports Bedrock players.

I found a semi anarchy survival server that has been running for almost a year. It is built around maximum freedom with minimal rules so you can grief raid build and just try to survive.
The big thing is it supports Java Bedrock and even console players like Switch Xbox and PS4 or PS5. So almost anyone can join and get into the same world.
It is still not full anarchy because cheating is not allowed. No hacked clients no xray even resource packs and no macros or automation tools. You also cannot exploit vulnerabilities or try to crash the server and chat spam gets handled too.

Classic Survival Feelcommunity-driven serverhands off adminserver shaped togethersmall community feel
I found Omni World and it feels like a server made by someone who has tried a bunch of different Minecraft servers and wanted to keep the classic vanilla feel but still add some twists.
The community has been around for years and they seem really close. The server is called Omni 4 because they have made three servers before this and now this is the official one.
It sounds like players get a real voice here and your ideas can shape what the server becomes over time. The owner also says they want to be mostly hands off so the server can mature and feel like the older servers people remember.

collaborative storytellingcrossover universefandom mashup rpmeaningful interactionsplot heavy sessions
Neuroshroud is a roleplay server with its own lore where lots of different fictional worlds crash together into one broken reality. It feels like a patchwork multiverse where characters from any fandom or even original characters can show up and try to survive what is left.
The roleplay here is meant to be deep and immersive. People take writing seriously but they are not rude about it. The focus is on character growth and real interactions not who is the strongest.
It is not a anything goes place. The server wants people who will stick around and help build stories together instead of just posting once and leaving.

I found Moshpit SMP and it feels like survival that still keeps a vanilla vibe but it does not try to be super strict.
There are no land claims so you can build anywhere and people can raid too so it can get wild. It supports both Bedrock and Java so more friends can play together.
It has player shops plus an auction house and duels if you want to make quick cash. There are custom enchants that are meant to stay balanced like 3×3 drills and lifesteal.
The world has custom terrain that still looks normal. PvE gets harder the farther out you go and there are random world events every 30 minutes that can help or hurt or just be weird.
The owner says they are active and keep changing stuff based on feedback and the server runs fine even on low end PCs.
