They want the community to stay 18 plus so the vibe is more mature but still very kind and welcoming. It feels like a place where you can relax and play modded Minecraft with people who stick around for more than one season.
This server is called the Silly Little Smp and it is a really social modded world.
It has a lot of mods and the whole point is to hang out and talk with people. They use voice chat and proximity chat so you can hear people when you get close in game. There are also late night voice calls and people talk in general chat and in game.
The server is around two months old but not a lot is built yet. They want new players who actually want to help shape the world and make it feel alive.

The server has a custom world and a separate mining world for grabbing resources. There is rtp so you can teleport around and up to three personal warps so you can save your favorite spots. The worlds are pre generated so it is smoother and less laggy.

I found this server called Cozy MC and it feels really calm. They can have around 100 players online and it still does not feel crazy or loud. People actually help each other and it feels like a real shared world.
The world is just normal Minecraft survival. It is vanilla so there are no weird plugins changing the game and there are no plots or minigames. Everyone just builds near each other and shares roads and railways and other stuff.
The server is trust based so there are no land claims. You are supposed to read the rules carefully first. If something bad happens staff has tools to roll stuff back so that helps keep it safe.
Chat is pretty calm and people are respectful. PvP is only allowed if both players agree so it is not a constant fight server. You can join and start exploring right away.
To unlock full interaction like breaking blocks and picking up items you have to read all the rules. This is how they keep the world protected but it still feels like a real multiplayer server and not just singleplayer with chat.
If you want a peaceful multiplayer survival world that feels like it can last a long time this server is made for that.
Sparked is a long term vanilla style SMP that feels like you just joined a friends server. It is simple on purpose and it feels really barebones in a good way. There are no crazy menus or popups and no warps and no land claims and just minimal quality of life stuff.
The server is focused on building and on talking to people. The community is mature and made of adults from different backgrounds. Most people play kind of like Hermitcraft but still do their own original thing. The admins stay active and they actually hang out with the players and keep the server running smooth.
Even though it feels super vanilla there are some protections behind the scenes so your builds stay safe if something happens. The owners also try to be open about server costs and specs and bans so it feels honest and transparent.
There are a few datapacks from Vanilla Tweaks like more mob heads and armor poser plus proximity voice chat and bluemap and player heads. Overall it is a chill place if you want a simple trust based world with a mature group.
