I found a new survival server that is trying to get active players and build a real community. It is Minecraft 1.21.11 and it keeps the vanilla feel but it also has some terrain generation mods and some QOL plugins.
There is simple voice chat you can use if you want. The Nether and the End are turned off for now so people do not rush everything and quit.
The world has a border around 4k blocks so players stay closer and it feels more alive. The server really wants builders and people who will make towns and civilizations and countries with some lore instead of everyone hiding underground.
The whitelist is planned to turn on later once there are enough active players.
