This server is called Vanillacraft and it is a semi vanilla style SMP where players just play survival together without tons of plugins getting in the way.
The server is focused on being friendly and community based. People are nice to new players and there is a loyal playerbase so you see the same people online a lot and can actually get to know them.
There are no economy plugins or GUI shops or land claim systems. Instead players make their own shops and trade with each other so the item economy is run by the community. There is a market district and a community spawn with farms and other helpful stuff if you want a little headstart.
You do not get teleports here. If you want to travel you use the nether roof or fly with an elytra and explore like normal survival. There are also no pay to win ranks and there is not even a server store so your progress is based on playing not paying.
Even though there is no land protection the staff is active and they use Coreprotect so griefing is watched and handled. The whole idea is a simple survival server that feels fair and social without being overloaded with plugins.
Vanillacraft SMP – True Semi Vanilla
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFabricCraft True Vanilla Semi Anarchy
This is a survival server that is trying really hard to be actually vanilla. It runs on Fabric so the farms and redstone work how they do in normal Minecraft. Most servers say they are vanilla but use plugins that break stuff so this one is made for players who really care about redstone and contraptions.
The world has no land claims and no resets so everything you build or destroy stays. Players can form alliances trade with each other start rivalries and raid bases. It feels like a semi anarchy server with very few rules but you still cannot use hacked clients or mods that give you an unfair advantage over other players.
From what I can tell the server just launched so the player count might be low at first. It is meant for people who want long term survival a persistent world and real vanilla style mechanics with Fabric instead of big server plugins.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPParagon SMP Semi-Tame Anarchy
Paragon SMP is an anarchy style world but it is not full chaos. You can steal from people and do some light griefing but the idea is not to blow everything up and ruin the whole map. It feels more like sneaky survival than pure destruction.
The server uses Simple Voice Chat and you actually need it if you want to join. That means most people talk instead of just typing. It makes teaming up or betraying people way more intense.
There are no extra gameplay mods besides performance stuff so it still feels like normal Minecraft. Keep inventory is off so dying actually matters and makes every fight risky.
The world is 10,000 by 10,000 so it is not infinite and players will eventually run into each other. With around 50 player slots it can get busy but still feel like a small community. The server is also LGBTQ friendly so everyone can feel safe playing.
To join you have to go through a whitelist application and then wait a bit to get accepted. It gives off the vibe of a semi anarchy server where trust is rare but the community still has some respect for each other.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Custom Long-Term SMP
EchelonMC is a custom made survival server that feels really different from all the copy paste SMPs.
It is built for people who want to stay on one world for a long time and build big stuff together. The server is not about PvP stealing or griefing. It is more about teamwork building and slow community progress so your work does not get wiped for no reason.
The whole server runs on custom coded systems instead of random plugins. You can walk to make paths that give you speed boosts. There is a currency you earn just by playing that you can spend on useful things. Land claiming is advanced with chunk borders and settings to stop grief fire TNT and other stuff.
You can also publish chunks so other players can visit your builds and you get rewards and rankings. There are teams with nametags so you and your friends can share utilities and play together. When you die you get graves and a back command to help you recover items and teleports.
There are voting rewards Discord chat link a spawn hub with custom NPCs and protection against x ray. The server is on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 and older versions also work. The owner keeps updating it with patches and listens to player feedback so the server keeps improving without wiping the community.

This is a vanilla survival SMP that really tries to stay like normal Minecraft. The world has been running since 2019 and the overworld has never been wiped. So there is a lot of history builds and old bases to explore.
