I found this semi vanilla SMP where the main idea is community and building while still feeling like real survival.
It has a diamond based economy so people trade with diamonds and set up player shops. There is also a shops menu so you can browse stores fast or make your own.
You can protect your builds with land claiming using golden shovels. The server is PvE focused with no griefing and there is no keep inventory.
It supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so more friends can join. There is a live world map you can check in your browser and separate resource worlds so the main world stays clean.
They run weekly events and have ranks plus vote rewards that give you perks just for playing.
