This server is called CollideCraft Season 3 Time Zero and it feels really intense. You crash in a broken world and nothing is easy at all. The dimension is messed up space is tight and resources are hard to find so you actually have to fight to survive.
It is a semi vanilla SMP with lite lore so it still feels like normal Minecraft but the story and world are a little twisted. Time does not feel right and the environment is unstable so you always feel a bit on edge.
There is lifesteal so every fight actually matters. People can form alliances and factions so you never know who you can really trust. Players also get to choose some of the plugins so the community helps shape how the server plays.
They run frequent events and the owner says there is more hidden under the surface so it sounds like you discover stuff as you go. It really feels like a place where survival is earned not just given.
Season 3 Time Zero launches on December 22 and you can join early to secure a whitelist spot before it fills up.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKronos SMP Earth Nations War Server

Kronos SMP is a full Earth server where the map is scaled 1 to 500 so the continents are actually huge and the oceans actually matter. Everyone starts in a fresh empty world so there are no old empires or stacked nations or destroyed land.
You pick a real location on the Earth map and claim it. Then you defend it or try to take land from other players. Factions can grow into nations and the whole server is about geopolitics and wars and alliances instead of just grinding.
The economy is run by players so power comes from land and people you control not from kits or pay to win stuff. Wars are real and borders actually change when people win or lose. Nothing is just cosmetic.
The server is for Java Edition version 1.20.1 and is hosted on strong hardware so it can handle big player counts. Admins do not play favorites and there is no pay to win.
This server is mainly for people who like planning and maps and history and drama that actually affects the world. It is also for players who enjoy leading and scheming and staying up late for wars. If you just want a super chill SMP this one is probably not for you.

You can join from both Java and Bedrock and even console players can get on by adding the special friend account. It is a crossplatform world where everyone meets on the same map and fights or talks it out.
