LilacMC is a Towny survival server that is trying to be fun and friendly for everybody. It has a player driven economy so players control the market and there are no admin shops.
The world is almost 5 years old and it has never been reset and they say they do not plan to reset it. That makes it feel more like a long term home.
It runs Towny and mcMMO plus other core features and some custom stuff made just for the server. There are over 200 custom trees you can grow to decorate your base.
There is also a custom mob arena system with different difficulties and challenges plus buffs and debuffs and different maps and mobs. They also added custom farming fishing and mining to keep endgame players busy.
The server supports versions 1.21.4 through 1.21.11.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTech and Magic Origins RPG Realm
I found a newer server that is built around a custom tech and magic modpack and it is meant to last a long time. The main vibe is role play and RPG style survival with a big community focus.
Players get a lot of choice in how they play because of the origins setup. You pick things like a race and class and magic alignment and a background plus a second class. There are tons of options so it is easy to make a unique build and grow stronger over time with the skill system.
The tech side is based around create so people can build factories and trains and make big projects. There are also options for players who do not want to be magic users so you can still fit into the world.
Exploring sounds like a huge part of it with lots of dungeons and structures and scary creatures across the realm. You can claim land and build kingdoms and factions and guilds using the claim and colony tools. It is a keep inventory server and it is less than two weeks old.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Modded Survival With Proximity VC
I found a small Minecraft Java server that is running on 1.20.1 with Fabric. It is a chill modded world with about 4 to 5 regular players.
They use a custom mod list that adds new monsters plus weapons armor furniture and more. The main idea is to explore and build a world that feels lived in with cozy bases shared towns and paths.
It is not a sweaty place and it is not PvP focused. People play at their own pace and it is more about relaxed teamwork and good vibes.
They also use proximity voice chat so you can talk while building or when you run into someone while exploring.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
