Elysium is a small Java server with multiple worlds and it is looking for more players who are 18+. The server used to be public in 2022 then it closed at the start of 2024. Now it is back with a fresh new server that reopened in early November.
There is a Survival world on 1.21.10 with a 10k by 10k border and mcMMO skills. It tries to feel more vanilla because teleport commands are off except for home bed. People travel using a Nether roof system and there is a spawn shopping area with chest shops that use diamonds.
There is also a Plots world with 85 by 85 plots so builders can work in private. You start with one plot and can earn more as you move up build ranks.
Creative has a superflat freebuild world for bigger community builds. You can build together if everyone agrees and you are not allowed to mess with other peoples builds without permission. There is a Hub world for moving between worlds with spots to chill and an amphitheater for events. There is also a second Creative world that is a perk for build ranks.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLazyCraft No Paywalls Survival SMP

LazyCraft is a chill survival SMP I found that really sticks to the no paywalls idea. It is 100 percent free to play and it tries to keep a semi vanilla survival feel while still giving you a lot of helpful commands.
The world is made for long term play. The overworld is huge and the nether and end are claimable. There are also resettable resource worlds in every dimension so you can keep gathering stuff.
PvP is off in the overworld unless you go to the spots where it is allowed. Phantoms are also turned off everywhere which is honestly nice.
Building feels safe because there are strict no grief rules and you can claim land. You can fly inside your claims and start with free sethomes. You can also make towns with Lands and set up player warps.
The economy is mostly player driven. You can sell ores to a server shop. You can trade with players and use the auction house. You can also make unlimited chest shops and there is a special world just for player shops.
For quality of life you get things like feed repair trash and condense without needing ranks. There are craftable mob catchers plus tree feller with auto replant. You also start with player vaults.
The community is small but active with about 10 online during the day and 10 plus regular daily players. The owner actually listens to suggestions and adds new features. It supports Java and Bedrock 1.21.11.
