This server is called MineRealm and it is one of the longest running SMP servers I have seen. It has been online since 2010 and more than two hundred thousand players have joined over the years. The world is smaller at first and slowly expands so new land always uses the latest Minecraft version.
The gameplay is focused on survival and is fully legit. There is no pay to win and no item spawning. Everything you see was gathered and built by players. There are no fancy spawned in hubs or prefab structures so the whole world feels really player made.
MineRealm uses a classic plot system and grief protection so your builds stay safe. They have their own protection plugin and also use CoreProtect so griefing is not really a thing here. The server tries to stay close to vanilla but adds a few custom plugins to make community stuff and long term survival feel better.
Another cool thing is they do not reset the world. So if you build something big it will stay there for the long run. There is also public infrastructure already developed to help new and old players travel and grow.
Overall the community feels dedicated and welcoming and the server is made for people who like long term survival and a stable world that does not just restart all the time.

This server feels like old school Minecraft and I kind of love it. It is just normal survival and it feels really simple and chill. There is no crazy stuff or weird custom systems. It is mostly just you and the world and what you decide to build.
The whole idea is to be classic and pure. You join a survival SMP and start from nothing. You explore you mine you build and you try to stay alive. It feels like how the game used to be when you first started playing. That makes it feel really comfy.
The community is a big deal here too. People are friendly and like to work together on projects or just hang out and talk. It is not sweaty or super serious. It is more about having fun and being creative with other players.
They also have optional proximity chat. If you want more immersion you can talk to people when you are close to them in game. It makes exploring towns or caves with friends feel more real. If you do not like that you just do not use it.

The Pen – Classic Grind Prison PvP

The Pen is a classic old school prison server that feels like 2014 again. It is not OP and you actually have to grind for everything. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you work your way up through the ranks.
The whole prison is built around risk and reward. You have to mine your own ores then smelt them and walk through PvP zones to sell them in the commissary. There is no instant sell so you really feel the danger when you carry your stuff.
There are ranks like A all the way up to Parolee and Citizen. After you reach the top you can prestige for special rewards. You can also get a prison cell or a plot where you store items build things grow illegal crops and even make your own shop.
Guards play a big role here. Swords and potions are illegal so if a guard sees you with contraband they can fight you and even send you to solitary confinement for bad conduct. There are also quests you can do for money or special items plus custom fishing and parkour challenges around the prison.
The server has a bounty system and an auction house. You can put bounties on enemies and hunt other players or sell items to everyone. The vibe is grindy and tough but it really focuses on that old prison community feeling where survival and PvP actually matter.

Beocraft is a vanilla style SMP that has been running in some form for around 8 years. It is made to feel like a Hermitcraft type world with players building everything by hand in survival. The server focuses on classic survival where you relax play and slowly build big projects.
