I found this Minecraft network that is pretty new and still in early launch. It is called NovaCraft Network and it focuses on fair progression and actually listening to players. It does not feel pay to win and it does not rely on weird gimmicks.
The main gamemode right now is Skyblock. It has balanced progression and a player driven economy. It seems made for both casual players who just want to chill and also for competitive players who like to grind and race ahead.
There is also BedWars with 2v2 and 4v4 maps so it is good for small groups and friends who want quick pvp games. For people who like classic Minecraft there is a Survival world on hard difficulty with normal gameplay and nothing super crazy added on top.
The owners say they focus on fair progression active development and community feedback that actually matters. They are asking for players who want to help shape the server from the ground up so it feels like they really want ideas and suggestions.
Right now the server runs on Java 1.21.x and older versions are supported too. They also say Skyblock is just the beginning and that Lifesteal and Factions are planned for the future as the network grows.

This is a small Minecraft server that feels really polished and planned out. It has a Skyblock world and a Survival world and both are made to feel satisfying and not like every other random server.
Skyblock is focused on competitive island progression. You build up your island and try to climb the leaderboards and grow your own little empire. It is for people who like grinding and racing others in a fair way.
Survival has land claiming so your builds stay safe. There are custom enchants bosses and quests so it is not just plain vanilla. It feels like the owner actually put effort into making everything fit together instead of stuffing in a bunch of messy plugins.
The server is 18 plus and they really want a mature community. They are tired of toxic chat and little kids screaming all the time. There is no pay to win so everything you get you can actually earn by playing.
Right now the server is still pretty small so new players will actually matter. If you join you will help shape what the community becomes because people will actually notice you.
