I found BackToBlocks and it feels like a simple survival server that sticks close to vanilla but still adds some helpful stuff.
The spawn is built by the community and the server runs events. There is a decorated Nether Hub and a decorated End Island. There is also a player run shopping district for trading.
It has light quality of life commands like sethome and tpa. There is an itemflip command where you can gamble items just for fun. Phantoms can be toggled too.
The vibe is no silly plugins and no pay to win. It is not focused on pvp but pvp and raiding are allowed with limits. Griefing is not allowed so it stays more about community and building. It works for both Java and Bedrock players.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDeadMans Land Hardcore PvP Raid SMP
DeadMans Land is a survival multiplayer server where people play ruthless and nothing feels safe. It is made for players who want PvP all the time and want to fight for everything they keep.
Raiding is fully on so bases can get broken into and looted. Griefing is allowed too so if you lose a fight you might come back to nothing.
It is open world survival with scarce resources and dangerous land so you have to stay ready. The admins stay active and it is not pay to win so it is mostly about skill and strategy.
People build hidden bunkers and big compounds and set traps. Trust is rare and betrayal happens a lot so you either rise up fast or get wiped out.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTitanMC Classic Prison Returns
TitanMC is a classic Prison server that is trying to feel like the old days. It keeps things simple with no crazy enchantments and no visual overstimulation. It is just Prison and grinding.
The server is a reimagined version of the original with changes made to help balance. There is a big prestige system with 100 prestiges. The first prestige is its own ward and it gives you a private cell block and a mine. Later on you can hit milestones and get rewards that can beat any store rank.
There is also a token shop to help reduce pay to win. Tokens cannot be bought and you only get them by playing. The token shop has everything from the store plus extra items. They also say their crates are not pay to win.
It supports 1.19.4 up to the latest version.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChillGrindSMP – No P2W Survival
So I found this server called ChillGrindSMP and it is just a simple Java survival world that feels really relaxed.
It runs on version 1.20.10 and it uses ViaVersion so people on a bunch of different Java versions can still join together. That makes it easier if you do not like updating all the time.
The main thing here is no griefing. People are not allowed to wreck your builds or steal your stuff so you can actually spend time building and grinding without worrying about it getting ruined.
There is a gravestone plugin too. When you die your items go into a grave so you do not just lose everything. It makes the server feel less stressful because one mistake does not destroy your whole progress.
They also have a simple player economy. It is not super complex and it is meant to be easy for everyone to use. It fits the chill style of the server.
There is no pay to win stuff at all. No crates and no weird monetization tricks. Everyone plays on the same level which is nice if you are tired of servers that sell power.
The community is small and pretty chill and it feels welcoming if you just want a place to relax grind and build with other players.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
