I found a server called Teapot SMP and it is a survival SMP you can join right now.
It is meant to feel classic and simple. Before you play you should read the rules in the servers Discord so everyone can have a good time.
Classic Survival SMP You Can Join
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLuminary Falls Adult Whitelist Survival SMP
Luminary Falls is a long term survival SMP that feels cozy and story rich. It is made for adults and it is whitelist only with an 18 plus rule. The community is meant to be welcoming and uplifting and it is LGBTQ plus friendly.
The server runs on Java and it also has full Bedrock crossplay. People can use client mods that do not give an advantage like Litematica Xaero’s Sodium and Dynamic Lights.
It keeps the vanilla feel but adds quality of life plugins and datapacks. There are resource worlds so the main world does not need resets and your builds can stay for years. Players are active at all hours and the server sees about 50 unique players each week so it usually feels alive.
To join you read the rules and then you do the whitelist application through the Discord bot.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCreate Survival With No Infinite Farms
This is a modded server running a pack that is built around Create as the main thing. The whole point is to stop the usual cheesy loop where people rush farms and get infinite iron or gold and turn the server into a laggy mess.
The gameplay is meant to feel harder and more planned out. You have to think about every cog and shaft and how you spend your stress units so your builds stay efficient and actually matter.
It also tries to push a slower pace so people do not just rush big milestones right away. The vibe is more like an SMP where you can build up over time trade with others and even try to control the economy if you want.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCobbleSMP Fresh Cobblemon Survival Server
CobbleSMP is a brand new SMP that uses the Cobblemon mod. It makes survival feel like Minecraft with Pokemon running around so you can play and explore.
It is Java only and you need the Cobblemon mod to join. The server is hosted on Aternos so it is not online 24 7.
There is no claiming so you have to respect other players builds. Do not grief because if you grief you get banned.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPZest Life Modded Roleplay SMP
Zest Life SMP is a modded server that is inspired by the Life Series made by Grian. It feels the most like Secret Life and it uses custom tasks to make everything more intense and interesting.
From what I can tell this server is all about community and roleplay instead of just rushing to kill each other. Players are encouraged to build characters and interact with others so it is more about story than about PvP.
The server uses the Life Series mod by Mat0u5 and a few small quality of life mods like visual and sound stuff that do not really change the gameplay. You have to be able to run the Life Series mod on your own game because it is needed on both client and server.
There is an age limit of 17 or older and they say they do not make exceptions. They also do not want people who speedrun gear and rush to final fights. If you mainly want roleplay and fun moments and not a murder spree this server seems made for that.
To join you have to fill out an application so they can filter who gets in and keep the community how they want it.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEyees SMP Semi Vanilla Survival
This is a small Minecraft SMP called Eyees that tries to stay pretty close to vanilla so it feels like normal Minecraft but with other people.
Right now the server is still pretty small so you can actually meet players and not get lost in a giant crowd. It feels more personal and it is easier to find a place to build and just play.
The server is made for people who just want to join and have fun in survival and do normal Minecraft stuff together. If that sounds good then this server is probably for you.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNorth Vanilla Season 2 Semi-Anarchy SMP
This is a new season of a server called North Vanilla. It is a survival world that plays like real vanilla. There are no gimmicky plugins and no TPA so you actually have to travel to find people.
The server is semi anarchy. That means it is less strict and players have a lot of freedom. There is no mention of claims or special protections. The world is driven by what the players do together.
This is season 2 and the first season was used to test stuff. Now they want to go full throttle and get as many players as the server can handle. The server runs in Europe and uses the newest version of the game.
The community already has a healthy playerbase that is excited to start this new season. It feels like a good place if you want a fresh start and want to leave your own mark on the world. The server does not support cracked accounts.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermitcraft Style 18+ Proximity SMP
This is a Hermitcraft style survival server that is made by the players for the players. When I joined I saw around 5 to 20 people on during the day and everyone seemed pretty chill and talkative.
The world is focused on a diamond based economy with a real shopping district where people make their own shops. There are also public builds and big community projects that anyone can join.
Most people use proximity chat so it feels way more social than normal servers. You can just walk up to someone and start talking while you build or mine.
The server tries to keep the normal vanilla feeling but with some extra cosmetic and quality of life plugins. New plugins get added from community requests and from polls so the players actually decide what gets changed.
It is Java only on version 1.21.11. The server is whitelisted and only for players 18 and older so it has more of an adult community vibe.
Overall it looks like a long term community centered SMP where people like to build together trade with diamonds and hang out in proximity chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCobble Commons RPG Skills Towny SMP
This is a community based Minecraft SMP that really focuses on players and not money. There are no paid ranks and no pay to win crates and every perk is something you earn just by playing.
The server uses a bunch of quality of life plugins to make survival feel bigger. You can level up RPG style skills like mining farming and fighting and those skills give you helpful passive abilities and stat boosts over time. There is also a rank system with different paths and the ranks even have build requirements so you always have goals and projects to work on.
Towns are a huge part of the server. Players use a land claiming system to build organized towns and districts and these towns help you reach your rank goals. There is also tons of custom furniture and cosmetics so you can decorate your house and make it look different from normal vanilla builds.
The economy is fully player driven. You set up your own shopkeeper stalls and trade with other players instead of buying from some admin shop. The server is self hosted so it is meant to be stable and last for a long time. You can join from both Java and Bedrock so it is easy to play with friends on different platforms.
Overall this server feels like it wants you to stay for a long time and slowly build up your skills your town and your place in the community without ever being forced to pay for anything.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPure Vanilla Survival SMP
This server is a pure vanilla SMP style place.
It is just normal Minecraft where players can join and play together in survival.
There is not much extra info given but it feels like the idea is to keep things simple and close to the original game.
If you want a basic multiplayer world where you just mine build and survive with others this server is going for that vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
