I found a Bedrock Edition SMP that is keeping it super small with only 10 players total. It is set up so the first people to fill out the entrance form get the spots and then it is full.
The server is meant to run smooth since it is allocated 4GB RAM. It is free to join and it is hosted on Falix Nodes.
The play style is pretty wild because there are no restrictions on exploration or PvP or stealing. More details are said to be inside the form. They also plan to do monthly events so it sounds like stuff will happen often.
You do not get the address right away since they only share the info through the form for security and a better experience.

Balanced economy rulesBedrock Edition Supportbuilder friendly rulesLegendary Hunt EventsPvP Tournament Nights
NextLevelHub is a long term Minecraft community with two main places to play. It supports Java and Bedrock so more friends can join together.
One option is a survival realm that keeps the classic survival feeling. The world is meant to last so people can build big projects and actually make history. The vibe is friendly and non toxic and they want no griefing and no drama.
The other option is a Pixelmon server on the latest version. It has tournaments and PvP events plus legendary spawn events. The gameplay is balanced and they say it is not pay to win.
They are mainly looking for active players who want to stick around. Builders grinders and battlers all fit in. 16 plus is preferred for a more mature community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPInfinite Islands And Boss Fights Forever

This server is all about building on infinite islands that never reset so you can keep expanding as you grow.
It also has custom cave systems with multiple levels. The caves have regenerating ores plus custom mobs and bosses so there is always something to fight.
Fishing is a big deal here with over 100 unique textured fish to catch and collect and 60 fishing mobs to take down.
There are hundreds of quests that help you with progression. Seasonal payouts are a thing too so you can compete hard or just play chill.
Your islands are profile based so if you get bored you can start a new one and swap back whenever. The server supports 1.21+ and runs native on 1.21.10. They are also recruiting staff so joining early matters.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPInfinite Islands Boss Fights Forever

This is a lifesteal style SMP called the Skerp SMP and it is an open world server.
You do not just grind for the best gear. Maces and elytras are only gained through events. If you try to get them any other way it is banned. So winning events actually matters a lot.
There are teams you can join so you are not stuck playing alone. This also helps a ton because it is lifesteal and if you go solo you will probably get wiped fast.
The discord has around one hundred players and voice chats are pretty active. People are usually hanging out and talking while playing. The whole server feels like a group trying to survive together but also compete in events at the same time.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
