I found a server called Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to stay close to vanilla Minecraft. It has very few changes and it is made for people who want a real survival world where stuff can actually happen.
It runs all day and night and it lets you join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They recommend 1.21.10 so you do not get weird problems.
The world is huge with a 2 million block border and it is meant to last since there are no map resets. There is no teleporting and no pay to win. PvP and griefing are allowed so you should build smart.
The main extra command is spawn so players far away are not stuck forever. Nether roof access is allowed and phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They do not allow exploits or lag machines or duping. They also do not allow spamming or harassment or racial slurs in chat.

I found RevsMC and it is an 18 plus Minecraft Java SMP running the All The Mods 10 modpack. It feels like one of those servers where people actually plan to stay and build a real history over time.
The main idea is nations and groups. You can create or join a nation faction or clan and then build cities grow industry and push magic and tech progression. People also run shops set up trade networks and try to build their own economy.
Politics are a big part of it with alliances and rivalries depending on what players decide. Conflict exists but you do not have to be part of it.
PvP is opt in or opt out for players and nations so builders traders and explorers can play without being forced into fights. If groups do want conflict there is kill on sight between hostile parties and raiding is only allowed when both groups agree to raid each other.

VastalaMC is an SMP that is trying to build a fantasy world that keeps growing instead of resetting every few months. The cool part is players make the history as they play.
You can found towns then build kingdoms and alliances. The world has different regions with their own cultures and resources and environments so where you live actually matters.
Player choices shape the politics and the trading and the conflicts. The server world is meant to move through different eras over time.
It supports Java and Bedrock crossplay. The server is still being developed and it is opening soon.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSolaris SMP Vanilla Plus Adult Community

Solaris SMP is a relaxed Survival server that stays close to classic Minecraft but adds a few Vanilla plus upgrades. It is made for adults who want a stable long term place to build with other people and not feel rushed or forced to grind.
Season 2 started last weekend and the pace is slower on purpose. The End opens on Mar 14th so players can enjoy early game first.
It has proximity voice chat and Discord linking so people can talk while they play. There is also a live browser map with Bluemap and an AudioPlayer for ambient music and custom tracks during builds or events.
Building gets extra help with armor stand posing plus mini blocks and mob or player heads as collectibles. There is also a separate creative planning server with Axiom and WorldEdit so you can design builds before you do them in Survival.
For safety it uses tools like CoreProtect and Ledger for grief protection and rollbacks. It also uses Carpet features like renewable sponges and coral plus Vanilla Tweaks like elytra from the dragon fast leaf decay silence mobs renewable sand and more.
The server is hosted in US Central Dallas Texas and the playerbase is a mix of European and American players. The world is open with monthly pruning and the economy is based on diamonds with shops encouraged. Suggestions are discussed and voted on in Discord before changes get added.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModern Apocalypse Quarantine Survival Server

This is a modded modern apocalypse server with a big horror vibe and a story that moves forward on real dates. Everyone starts trapped inside a government quarantine zone called Alpigus and the grid is only stable for a short time.
For the first 7 days players cannot leave the zone. When the wall loses power the world opens up and the Nether unlocks and the End becomes reachable.
Later the server hits a grid failure event and a nuke drops inside the wall and wipes everything in that area. If you did not escape before it happens you are basically done.
It is not hardcore. There is land claiming and it stops griefing and PvP but it does not stop stealing. You can also toggle PvP inside claims using claim commands.
