Vanilly SMP is a family friendly server that is all about bonding and having fun with other players. The community is pretty big and people help each other so you can work on builds that stick around.
It has warps so you can travel to player made spots fast. You can set a home and teleport back to your build when you want.
You can trade with other players to get the stuff you need. There is also a crate system that can give special custom items that are not just for looks.
Pets are a thing too and you can get them from crates and also from mob drops. If you worry about griefing you can claim land and use trust so friends can build with you. There are rules you have to follow and they are posted for everyone to read.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Is Built To Last

I found EchelonMC and it is a hand built survival server that has been in active development for about two months. It is hosted in Canada and the owner Eddy builds it based on what players suggest. They say over 100 player suggestions are already in.

The players seem active and friendly and it is heavily moderated so griefing is almost not a thing. It looks like the goal is a solid long lasting world with a good community and positive gamers.
