I found a vanilla plus Minecraft server that keeps the normal feel but adds some extra stuff. The mods are mostly furniture and new crafting recipes like new types of armor. There are also new items that do not go too far from vanilla.
It is not a full modpack. You get a zip that has the needed mods so you can drop them into your mods folder for whatever launcher you use.
The rules are simple. No cheating or hacked clients. No exploits or dupes. No x ray or kill aura or fly. Anything that gives an unfair advantage is not allowed.
Griefing raiding stealing and killing are allowed. It is a small community and the server is being switched over from an older themed setup so you might see some leftover mentions in the chat areas.

I found a self hosted Vanilla SMP that is all about normal survival on Java 1.21.10.
It has a world map you can use and besides that it stays completely vanilla.
They are trying to keep it as a small community and they also want operators to help it grow. It runs on an old desktop that has been up for a long time so it is meant to stay online.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLong Term Java Bedrock Survival

I found a Java 1.21.11 server that is mostly vanilla with a semi anarchy vibe and a lifesteal setup. It feels simple and it is made for people who like PvP and taking risks.
The server is usually up all day and if it says sleeping it starts back up in like 30 to 60 seconds when you try to join.
It also lets cracked players join and it uses SkinRestorer so your skin still shows.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLighthouse SMP Vanilla Bedrock Survival
