I found a semi vanilla SMP server that is all about community and building cool stuff while still feeling like real survival.
It has a diamond based economy so people trade with diamonds and run player shops. There is also a shops menu so you can browse stores fast or set up your own.
Claims are a big deal here since you can protect your builds with golden shovels. It is PvE focused with no griefing and it also does not use keep inventory.
Java and Bedrock players can play together. There is a live world map you can check in your browser and separate resource worlds so the main world stays clean. You can also earn ranks and vote rewards and there are weekly events with a friendly community.
