I found FluxoriaMC and it is a vanilla survival server with a relaxed semi anarchy vibe.
The big thing is no resets so the world stays and players kind of run everything. People make alliances and trade. Then you also get rivalries and raids.
It is semi vanilla survival with minimal rules. Hacked clients are not allowed and mods that give unfair advantages are not allowed. There is also OpenAudioMC available server wide.
I found a survival world that is not brand new and that is kind of the point. It is a long term world that keeps growing instead of resetting every few months.
People are still starting new towns and building roads and making community spaces. New players join all the time and it feels like you can show up and still matter.
It is hard difficulty vanilla survival and it is built around trust. There are no claims and no locked chests. There are no payments and no perks. PvP is on but it is only by agreement.
It works for Java and Bedrock so more friends can play together. It feels like singleplayer but with other people around making the world feel alive.
I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now
They plan to fully start in about a week so it feels like a good time to join early and get ready
It sounds like the goal is simple survival with that mostly vanilla kind of vibe and a small group of players
I found WinterMC and it is a modded survival SMP with a brand new world. It has 120 plus mods so there is a lot to mess with right away.
People can claim land so your builds stay protected and you can relax more. The world generation is custom and it is made to look huge with continents and islands and big landscapes.
Exploring seems like a big deal here since there are more structures like dungeons and better strongholds and mineshafts and cave biomes. If you like automation you can build Create factories and rail stuff too.
Survival has extra food and farming content and a bunch of quality of life mods like backpacks waystones JEI corpse and voice chat. It also has more decoration and building options so bases can look really nice.
The vibe is chill and the goal is to play without unnecessary chaos while you build explore grind or just hang out.

It looks like a simple survival server with that mostly vanilla feel and a small group vibe
PurpleSMP is a relaxed survival server where the vibe feels pretty laid back. It uses mcMMO so leveling up skills makes grinding and gathering stuff feel more rewarding.
The economy is player made with no server shops and no currency so trading is based on what people think items are worth. You also get a personal vault for extra storage when your inventory is full.
PvP is off by default which keeps things calmer. If you want fights you can toggle PvP with friends or go battle in the arena.
There are land claims to protect your builds and a live map you can check to see the world. The server also supports crossplay so you can join from different devices. You can get vote crate rewards and there is a booster rank with perks for boosting the Discord.
This is a small semi vanilla SMP that started as a project made by a dad and his son and it turned into a bigger world over time.
The server feels calm and not chaotic. It is more about creativity and community and just hanging out in a world that has a bunch of weird little systems.
There is a betting arena with chicken security. There is a town kennel where you can adopt a wolf if you are worthy and it chooses you. There is a postal system so players can send mail to each other. There is a public smelter that is funded by taxes. There is also a museum that tracks the world and the players.
You can submit an image online and get it as map art in game. There is also a dynamic patrol system that responds to mobs. The owner is looking for a few thoughtful players to explore and give feedback.
ArcticMC is a new survival server that mixes Towny and factions so people can build towns make alliances and fight for land.
PVP matters here but it is meant to stay fair since the server uses an honor system that is explained in their rules.
It also has McMMO skills so you level up things like mining combat and potions while you play and unlock special abilities.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and valleys. There are custom items too including furniture and it is entity based so they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag.
The vibe is calm and friendly and more about chilling building and exploring without constant chaos.
Kanzo MC is a welcoming Minecraft server that sticks to a pure survival experience. It has a big community and it feels like a place where people actually want you to have fun.
Players can explore a massive world and build towns with other people. There is a player driven economy so trading and growing your wealth is a big part of the server too.
The vibe is kind and inclusive and the moderators are helpful and respectful. The owner is involved and seems to really care about the players. The server supports Java and Bedrock and it runs on version 1.21.10.
Sometimes staff and the owner are not online daily because of work or studies so you might need to be patient.
Rosebloom SMP is a friendly seasonal survival server that supports Java and Bedrock crossplay. It is a chill place where people build explore mine farm do redstone or just hang out and relax.
Season 3 just started and the server runs community events with in game prizes. Some prizes can be nether stars valuables and custom items.
It also has custom biomes plus custom food and crops and some quality of life plugins. There is a rewards system and seasons that do not drag on forever.
The community vibe is focused on kindness and respect and it is meant to feel safe for everyone. New players and longtime players both fit in.
