I found this server called Dawnforge and it feels like a chill vanilla style SMP where people actually talk and play together. It is focused on survival and it runs on version 1.21.8.
The server is semi vanilla but it really leans into normal survival gameplay. You just join and play like a regular Minecraft world. The owner says there are daily events and community builds so it sounds like people team up a lot.
The community is friendly and mature and they care a lot about being non toxic. New players get welcomed fast and staff members are helpful so it does not feel like you are joining alone. It feels more like a group that wants a long term world instead of constant resets.
The server works for both Java and Bedrock so more friends can play together. There is no pay to win which is nice because everyone has to actually play the game instead of just buying power.
If you want a place to build chill and talk with people and slowly become part of a long running SMP Dawnforge looks like that kind of server.

Semi Hardcore Community SMP

This is a new Minecraft server that is trying to build a small community.
The main idea is semi hardcore. If you die you do not lose everything forever. Instead you are gone for a certain amount of time then you can come back. So it still feels scary to die but not as brutal as full hardcore.
The server is unmodded Minecraft but it does use plugins. The owner just wants a place to play with other players and decided to host their own server for that.
To join you have to send an application first. The application is very simple and can be done in text so it is easy to get in and easy for the owner to read through.
The server is planned to open on December 10th 2025.

This is a chill whitelist survival server that feels like a big friend group. It runs on Minecraft 1.21.10 and is Java only. There are usually a few people on all day and a bigger group of regular players who come back a lot.
The main thing that stands out is proximity voice chat. You can talk to people who are near you in game which makes exploring and building way more fun. The voice mod is optional so you can still play if you do not want to install it.
The server uses plugins like jobs so you can earn money by doing normal Minecraft stuff like mining and chopping trees and then unlock extra cosmetics and commands. There is a random teleport you can use once to find a place to live. There are also plugins to lock your chests and doors and CoreProtect is there to roll back damage or theft if something goes wrong.
You can change your player height and do fun things like sit on stairs and slabs. There is also a world map you can view in a browser so you can see where everything is and plan your builds.
The server gets regular updates based on what the community suggests and votes on. It is made by the players for the players and it is focused on being friendly and community centered.

Twilight Sanctuary is a chill 18 plus Minecraft server that feels like a small town. Everyone is encouraged to talk and hang out and make real friends. The owner really cares about player feedback and wants every person to feel like their opinion matters.
The server is mostly vanilla with some small quality of life plugins. It runs on Paper and has Java and Bedrock crossplay so more people can join. There is a diamond based economy that is inspired by hermitcraft so trading feels fun and player driven.
There is a resource world where people can go to gather materials and keep the main world looking nice. The server also has a live Bluemap so you can see the world from a browser and plan where to build.
The world border is smaller on purpose so players set up bases closer together. This helps people run into each other more and makes the community feel alive. There are lots of events planned and also surprise pop up events so there is usually something going on when the server is busy.
Twilight Sanctuary has already been running for over a month and is still going strong. There are still many projects to join and new ones to start and the community keeps growing with more adults who want a friendly place to play.

Ethis is a semi vanilla SMP that feels a lot like a small Hermitcraft style world. It runs on Fabric 1.21.10 and it is based in Germany.
The community has been together for around five years. People know each other well and new players get welcomed into that group. Some players like huge projects and redstone builds. Others just like to mess around and hang out. You do not have to be super good at the game. You just have to be kind and open.
The server uses a voice chat mod so you can just walk up to someone talk for a bit then run off again. It makes meeting people less awkward and makes random moments a lot more funny.
The gameplay is kept simple and close to vanilla. There is no land claiming no teleport commands and no home commands. You actually travel to people and builds which makes the world feel connected.
They host events and game nights both in game and on Discord. When players feel burned out they can still join for a game night and stay in touch.
To join you need to fill out a real application. After that they do a short voice call just to make sure everyone fits and to keep out toxic players. It sounds scary at first but it is just there so the server stays friendly and chill.

Dots Stuff SMP is a chill vanilla plus Minecraft server that I found and it feels like a small hermitcraft style world. It is Java and the server is hosted in the UK but they say everyone is welcome to join.
The whole thing is about being community driven. People build together and do fun social events and just hang out with great players. It is not some sweaty competitive server. It is more like a cozy multiplayer world where you actually get to know people.
They use a bunch of quality of life plugins so the game feels smoother but it still keeps that vanilla feeling. The server is non political and they make it clear that it is a safe place for LGBTQ plus players.
It is whitelist only so you need to join the server community and fill out a simple application first. That helps keep out trolls and makes the server feel calmer and friendlier. If you want a relaxed hermitcraft style SMP with a nice community this one seems pretty good.
