I found Crafted Survival and it feels like a semi vanilla SMP where people actually stick around. It is built around community and a simple economy that uses diamonds so trading feels real.
It has land claiming so your builds stay safe and it is focused on PvE with no griefing. There is no keep inventory so it still feels like true survival.
You can make player shops and also use a shops menu to browse stuff fast. There is a live world map you can check in your browser and there are separate resource worlds so the main world does not get trashed.
It supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so more friends can join. There are ranks and vote rewards plus weekly events so there is always something going on.

This is a social Minecraft server where people are trying to turn an SMP skyblock world into a real friend group. The main point is to play together and talk a lot so it feels like a community not just random players.
There are around 10 active players and they are looking for more. The server runs weekly gatherings every Wednesday night around 7PM EST and people hop in to hang out and go on adventures together. It is also open the rest of the week so you can play and chat whenever.
The community likes using first names or a simple nickname and it makes things feel more personal. They also care a lot about respect so everyone can feel comfortable and welcome.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
