I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is being tested right now
The plan is to fully start in about a week so it feels like a fresh beginning with a small group

HighTide SMP is a new 18 plus survival server that just opened and it is aiming for a tight crew where people actually talk and connect.
It is whitelist only so you have to apply and they want trusted players. The server supports both Java and Bedrock so you can join from pretty much any device.
They run community nights like game nights and movie nights plus event nights and drinking nights. The plugins include graves so you do not lose your stuff when you die. There is faster tree chopping a dynmap you can view online and CoreProtect to stop grief.
There is also chest refill after five minutes so other players get a chance to loot and you can toggle PvP on or off for duels. They plan to start the world on the first Saturday once they hit 30 members.

The Perch is a Java SMP that is meant to feel like a second home. The community focus is a big deal here and they try hard to keep things away from toxicity and drama.
The server has a survival feel and they put a lot of thought into changes so the game does not feel bloated. Features can be toggled off if you do not like them. Farms and redstone contraptions are also meant to behave like they do in the base game.
They stay in contact with players using suggestions and tickets plus bi monthly feedback forms. They also post weekly change logs and run monthly events.
There is a playtime based ranking system where you unlock perks by playing. The economy is described as fair and balanced and there are lots of player run shops. There are also small gameplay tweaks to make things nicer and a web map where you can view all worlds.
The listing shows version 1.21.11.

SableCraft is a small semi vanilla SMP that is trying to be long term. It is not trying to be some massive public server that wipes all the time. The whole point is to start from day one and grow a real community that stays.
It is a survival server with a chill vibe and respectful players. Builders casual players and creators are all welcome here. The server is also clear about being no pay to win and not anarchy. They want no drama and they want the community to help shape the direction from the start.
Season 1 is opening up through applications and the launch is coming soon.

Crystal SMP is a newer survival server that has been running for about three weeks and it looks like it plans to keep going for a long time.
The vibe is chill and community first. You are expected to treat people kindly in game and out of game. Harassment racism discrimination and general toxicity are not allowed.
Light roleplay is encouraged and people try to keep in character stuff separate from real life stuff. Fights and raids are meant to be for lore or personal goals and not just to make someone feel bad.
The rules also focus a lot on respecting the world. Do not kill players with no gear or people inside the spawn box. Do not mess with other builds or entities and ask if you think something is abandoned. If you blow up terrain like with a creeper you should fix it.
Trading is supposed to be fair and clear. Bug exploits and item duping are not allowed. Also do not destroy the End portal or trial vaults and spawners.
Chat and voice are meant to stay relaxed with no spam lots of swearing or political or religious debates. You can use roleplay names or nicknames if you want.

Questo e un server Bedrock Vanilla in survival. Sembra pensato per giocare tranquilli e fare progressi senza roba moddata.
Ha uno spawn carino e c'e un negozio per comprare e vendere cose. C'e anche un premio giornaliero per chi entra ogni giorno.
Se sei nuovo c'e una guida e qualcuno che ti da consigli. L idea e di creare una community che gioca insieme e si aiuta.

SobaCraft is a chill Minecraft Java SMP where people just relax and play together. It feels like vanilla plus and it is meant for building exploring trading or just hanging out.
The survival gameplay is slightly modded but the vibe stays simple and laid back. PvP is optional and it is not the main focus.
This server is not anarchy and griefing is not the point. It is more about making cool stuff with other players and having a friendly community.

I found a chill SMP called Jujutsu Origins. It is just normal survival Minecraft but with the ORCA Jujutsu Craft mod on.
There is no forced roleplay and no big serious lore. You basically survive and build like usual then you work on unlocking cursed techniques as you go.
PvP is optional so it is not supposed to be constant wars. It feels more like a small community where you can grind mess around explore and fight mobs or bosses when you feel like it.

Yukraft is a relaxed semi vanilla Minecraft server with a cozy community feel. It has a huge 50k by 50k world so you can roam far and still find a nice place to settle.
You can use sethome so getting back to your base is easy. When you want to trade you can head to the shops warp to buy stuff or sell your own goods. Players can also make their own warps so it feels social and you can check out other builds.
There is AutoTreeChop you can toggle for faster tree chopping. There are Moxie points plus top voter leaderboards and your rank and permissions can reflect how active you are. If you want extra safety for a build or town you can get Homestead or Town permits. Death Chest helps if you die since your items get stored in a locked chest until you return and CoreProtect helps with grief and theft tracking.

MineStrike is a new network that just went live and it has Skyblock and Survival. It supports crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can play together.
Skyblock is about building up your island and grinding for progress. You can trade with other players and use the economy and shops.
