I found this server called KiaTEC and it is a semi vanilla survival world that is still pretty new. The world is only a few weeks old so it does not feel all used up. It is for people who just want to build explore and hang out without drama.
The server runs Java 1.21.1 and it has real survival with no pay to win. Everyone mostly uses Simple Voice Chat so people actually talk and chill together. There is a main vanilla SMP hub and they are working on a dungeon server but that part is not done yet.
They added some light quality of life stuff like random teleport so you can find a new place to start and tpa so you can travel to your friends. Spawn is protected so nobody can break it and they plan to turn it into a real lobby later.
Rules are simple. PvP only happens if everyone agrees first. No griefing no stealing no cheating and no exploits are allowed. You have to respect other players and their builds and if you break trust you get a permanent ban with no second chances.
They are also looking for moderators who are mature and active and want to help the server grow from the ground up. The whole vibe is chill survival with a friendly no drama community that wants more active people to join.

Mappercraft is a survival server with light roleplay where players make their own nations and fight for power on an earth style map of Southeast Asia.
From what I saw you pick any place you like and staff mark it as your settlement. Anything you build around that point is protected by them and they can roll back grief if you reported your claim the right way.
You can merge settlements into a full nation and then do diplomacy with other nations. People make alliances or go to war and sometimes it turns into big total destruction battles for land.
The server feels close to vanilla because staff handle most systems and there are no big gameplay changing plugins and no mods required. They only use some small plugins like fast tree chopping better minecarts no creeper damage no phantoms and a plugin that puts images on maps.
There are also server events and competitions every now and then where you can win rare items that are hard or impossible to get normally. Players are also allowed to host their own events whenever they want.
