I found this server called StillPoint SMP and it feels like a simple chill place to play.
It is a brand new world and the idea is to stay mostly vanilla. There are just a few quality of life mods that make things easier without changing the game too much.
The cool part is it supports both Java and Bedrock so your friends can join no matter what they play on. It is set up to run fast so it feels smooth.
If you want a fresh start on a mostly vanilla survival server and just hang out and play with people this one seems pretty nice.
