The Anchor is a survival SMP that is trying really hard to treat players seriously and actually listen to feedback. The whole point is that changes get talked about so the community feels seen by staff.
It has cross play so Java and Bedrock players can join together. The overworld is meant to never reset so your progress stays.
There is a playtime based rank system with big gaps between ranks. Claims matter a lot here because builds are protected and claimed areas cannot be griefed. After you hit the second rank your claims become permanent.
There is also a tag system that a lot of regulars like. You can earn keys by voting or using the vote shop then open a crate for one of 42 unique tags shown next to your name. The server also talks about trading tags later on.

It looks like the goal is to keep things simple and play normal Minecraft without extra stuff.
I found a Bedrock anarchy server that is basically brand new. It feels like a fresh place where people are still getting started.

Origin SMP is a survival server with a story vibe and a big focus on PvP progression. It runs on 1.21 and it works for Java and Bedrock players.
The main thing here is the tier system. When you kill players you gain tiers and when you die you lose tiers so fights actually matter. The world is finite at 2500 by 2500 so you run into people a lot and it stays intense.
It also uses proximity voice chat so you can talk to people right there while you trade or argue or team up. There are no land claims so the world is shaped by trust and politics instead of plugins.
The rules are semi anarchy. Stuff is allowed but random griefing with no story or purpose can get rolled back so the long term SMP narrative stays alive. The community is friendly and active daily and it is built for builders pvpers roleplayers and content creators.
