I found this Minecraft server called Mending Party and it lets Java and Bedrock players play together.
It is a survival server with an economy and chestshops so trading is a big thing. The world has an 8k by 8k border so people end up closer together and it feels more alive.
PvP is toggleable so you can decide if you want to fight or just chill and build. They also want to run events sometimes.
The server is not meant to stay the same forever and they want it to evolve from community feedback and what the staff team sees.
They do not use land claims on purpose because they think claims split people up. Instead staff enforce the no grief rule and they say they have tools to stop griefing and protect builds.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Custom Hand Built SMP
I found EchelonMC and it is a hand built survival server that is made to last. It is hosted in Canada and the owner Eddy has been building it for about two months with players helping by giving suggestions.
It feels like the opposite of those SMP servers that get messy then die. This one is about long term building and real progression with a strong community vibe. There is no pay to win and they are not planning main world resets. It also is not a copy paste plugin pack server since the systems are custom made for this place.
There is a currency called Echelites that you earn just by playing like mining farming fishing exploring and building. You can spend it on progression and quality of life stuff.
Land claiming is a big deal here with visual borders and chunk settings. It has protection for TNT and creepers plus fire spread control and raid prevention. It also has things like fluid freeze mob spawn control claim decay options claim bundling and per chunk player access so huge builds can stay safe.
There are teams with invites member management shared access and private team chat. You can list public builds so people can visit vote and climb rankings. There are timed graves too so your items are protected with balanced recovery mechanics.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy 18 Plus Survival With Lasting Builds
