I found this server called AVP SMP and it is a modded survival world that is made for long term play. The whole thing is set up with a sci fi style and AVP type theme so it feels different from normal Minecraft.
The server uses Create and Immersive Engineering so players can build big factories and power systems. People are supposed to work on huge bases and shared infrastructure projects together. There is also space exploration and alien style threats so there is more danger and progression than regular survival.
PvP is turned on but it is not forced so you do not have to fight if you do not want to. The world is meant to last a long time and there are no planned resets so big builds actually matter.
This is an application based server so they only let in people who really want to play and help keep the community solid. The server runs 24 7 and it will fully start once enough players join so everyone can begin at the same time.
The version is 1.21.1 and it is still in pre launch so it is a good time to get in early.

This is a lifesteal style Minecraft server running version 1.21.11 and it is hosted in Finland so it feels really smooth if you are in Europe.
The world is permanent and there are no resets so everything you build and every fight you have actually matters over the long run.
The server uses custom written plugins that change the gameplay so it does not feel like plain vanilla. It is made to give a unique lifesteal experience while still feeling familiar if you already know survival.
The hardware sounds strong with a dedicated Intel Xeon cpu fast NVMe ssds a lot of ram and a solid network so it should handle players and fights without lag.
If you want an online lifesteal server that is focused on Europe and long term play this one is pretty cool.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLegacyMC Australian Vanilla Anarchy
LegacyMC is a vanilla anarchy server that feels like old school Minecraft but even more crazy. There are no rules and no limits so you just join and try to survive however you want. Nothing is protected and nothing is safe.
The server has no land claims and no teleport commands so every base has to be found by actually traveling. PvP is always on and griefing and raiding are allowed so you have to be careful who you trust. If you build something it can last forever or it can be blown up the next day.
There are no gameplay changing plugins and no pay to win stuff. There are no ranks and no admin interference so what happens on the map is all from the players. The world does not reset so everything you do leaves a mark and becomes part of the server history.
LegacyMC is hosted on dedicated hardware in Australia so it is really good for players from Australia and New Zealand who want low ping. The owner says the server is fully paid for and they will not ask for donations. You just log in and play in a true sandbox world where chaos and freedom are the main things.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAnarchy Network Semi‑Anarchy Vanilla Survival
Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy Minecraft server that tries to stay super close to normal vanilla survival. It launched on October 11th 2024 and it is always online.
The rules are really light. Griefing is allowed and PvP is allowed. There is no pay to win and there are no map resets. There is also no teleporting like /home or random teleports. The only thing you can do that is not vanilla is use spawn so people who go really far out are not stuck alone forever.
The world border is set to two million blocks so there is a ton of space to explore and hide in. The server also lets you use the nether roof. Phantoms are removed which is nice and only about half the people on the server have to sleep to skip the night.
You can join on pretty much any Java version from 1.7.2 to 1.21.11. They say it is best to use version 1.21.10 so you do not have problems.
Even though it is semi anarchy there are still a few rules. You cannot use exploits or make lag machines or dupes. You also cannot spam chat or use harassment or racial slurs. So the server is still wild but not totally toxic.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSwiftServers Free High Performance Hosting

This server is a hardcore vanilla style SMP and it is still pretty new. It has been open for less than a month so the world is not super old yet.
The main idea is that you only get a limited number of lives. When you use up your deaths you get banned for the rest of the season. Each ban gets longer until you are gone for the full season so dying actually matters a lot.
You start with some basic tools and you also get invisibility and regeneration when you spawn. This is so you can get away from the spawn area safely. They said they do not really have spawn killers but they still protect new players just in case.
The server runs 24 7 and it is a free community server with no ranks and no pay to win stuff. It is on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it works with Bedrock 1.21.131.
