I found this Minecraft network that is pretty new and still in early launch. It is called NovaCraft Network and it focuses on fair progression and actually listening to players. It does not feel pay to win and it does not rely on weird gimmicks.
The main gamemode right now is Skyblock. It has balanced progression and a player driven economy. It seems made for both casual players who just want to chill and also for competitive players who like to grind and race ahead.
There is also BedWars with 2v2 and 4v4 maps so it is good for small groups and friends who want quick pvp games. For people who like classic Minecraft there is a Survival world on hard difficulty with normal gameplay and nothing super crazy added on top.
The owners say they focus on fair progression active development and community feedback that actually matters. They are asking for players who want to help shape the server from the ground up so it feels like they really want ideas and suggestions.
Right now the server runs on Java 1.21.x and older versions are supported too. They also say Skyblock is just the beginning and that Lifesteal and Factions are planned for the future as the network grows.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTowny Survival SMP With KitPvP
This server is a towny survival world mixed with a kitpvp arena so it feels like two games in one. The main world is about building towns and claiming land with towny so players can make cool bases and whole communities.
There is also mcmmo and jobs so you level up skills and earn money just by playing. It feels like normal survival but with more progression because your abilities get better over time and you can get paid for the stuff you already like doing.
The kitpvp arena uses balanced kits so fights are about skill and not who spent more money. The owner is very clear there is no pay to win and the player shops and crates are set up to be fair instead of super overpowered.
The rules seem pretty chill and the focus is on being respectful and having fun. New players are welcome and towns are recruiting so you do not have to play alone. There is also crossplay for java and bedrock so more friends can join together.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill New Survival SMP Needs Players

Davidscloud is a chill survival network that has been around for a long time. It feels like a community that actually wants players to relax and have fun without pay to win stuff ruining it.
The main Minecraft server is survival with strong protection. Every player starts with claim blocks so you can protect your base right away. Your land and your pets are safe and only you and people you trust can build there. If something goes wrong the admin team helps and investigates.
The server is focused on quality of life. There is a banking system that pays interest every hour you play so you can slowly build up money. You can spend that money at the market at survival spawn where merchants sell things like fish potions wood and other useful items.
There are multiple worlds to explore. Besides the normal survival world there is an amplified world with the new caves and cliffs generation so it looks crazy and fun to explore. The server is also working on an event world and a creative plot world so there will be more ways to play.

This server is called HoneySMP and it feels like a small friendly world where everyone actually knows each other. It is not one of those giant pay to win servers. Instead you can earn stuff like ranks and keys just by playing and grinding.
The whole vibe is about community. At spawn there is a community chest area where people take what they need and leave extra items for others. It really helps new players get started and makes the place feel welcoming.
They run weekly events like Elytra races and a custom event called Honey Heist where everyone hops in voice chat and plays together. It seems like the kind of server where events are actually social and not just random minigames.
There are some custom coded features too. There is a key forging system where you can combine keys and try to upgrade them into better ones. The server also has a player driven economy so you can sell stuff from your farms and run shops.

Oathwood SMP is a survival server where everything revolves around towns and community. It has Towny so players can build towns claim land and actually protect what they make.
There is an economy and it feels like players run most of it. People set up their own shops using Shopkeepers and trade with each other instead of just using some giant admin shop.
Builds are protected with ChestLock so your stuff is a lot safer. It makes the server feel more long term and not like you will lose everything in one night.
The gameplay is focused on balanced survival. It does not sound super crazy or over the top. It is more about playing for a long time and slowly growing your town and your friends.
The server lets both Java and Bedrock players join so more people can play together. It has space for about forty players which keeps it from feeling too crowded.
Overall Oathwood SMP feels like a chill place to settle down build a town and try to leave a little legacy with your friends.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRuins Legacy Earth Realm Wars
This server is a Bedrock realm that just started a new season and it is built on a 1 to 4000 earth map. The world uses normal Minecraft structures and biomes so it feels like regular survival just on a huge map.
You can claim land and stay peaceful and just build cool stuff. Or you can start wars and fight other players. You can also do both at the same time so the server works for builders and for people who like pvp.
The realm is mostly vanilla so there are no crazy addons or heavy mods. It is made to be a clean experience without a lot of lag.
There are rules so things do not get totally insane but the staff are pretty chill and they give players a lot of freedom. It feels like a place where you can play how you want as long as you do not go too far.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrownZenith Vanilla SMP Whitelist Soon
CrownZenith is a small vanilla style SMP that is looking for a few more players. It feels like a chill place where people just want to play survival together without a lot of extra stuff.
Right now anyone can join and there is no application. They only want around ten to fifteen players total so it still feels like a small server. When they reach that number they plan to turn on a whitelist so it stays cozy.
