I found a small survival server that just started Season 3 and the world is still really fresh. It is meant for people who actually like normal Minecraft and want to stick around long term.
It runs on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 and it keeps a vanilla style feel with only a few quality of life changes. One custom thing they added is player heights so you can pick how tall your character is.
The vibe is calm and friendly. PvP only happens if both people agree and griefing or stealing is not allowed. There is also optional proximity voice chat if you want to talk while playing.
They are looking for mature players 17 plus who want to build up the world over time with bases roads towns and projects.

Durian SMP is a really new survival server that has only been around for about a week. It has a small group of around 14 consistent players so it feels close and active without being crowded.
The gameplay is mostly vanilla and it has a few helpful tweaks like graves so your stuff is safer and a shop plugin so players can trade with each other. People will help you get started and set up a base but nobody is just handing out max gear.
The admin uses logging and rollback tools to protect players. If something gets taken and you can show proof like logs or screenshots they will help return items that were wrongfully taken.
Rules are taken seriously. PvP is only if both players agree. Stealing and griefing can get you warned or banned based on how bad it is. No slurs or hateful words in chat voice or Discord. Cheating is an instant ban and duping is handled with strikes.
You can join if you are a Java player and you are 16 or older. There is a whitelist process with a form so you have to be honest.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew 18+ Semi Vanilla SMP Survival

Spugunke is a new semi vanilla SMP that is all about long term survival and community. The world just started so early players can really shape the land and become part of the base history.
The server is focused on player made towns and teams. You can make your own town or join someone else and work on farms big bases or huge projects together. Some people might build pvp teams or exploration groups or resource squads. You can also play solo if you want. The server works for both chill players and more competitive ones.
Rules are relaxed but also fair so it stays fun. Griefing is not allowed. Stealing is not allowed. Random killing is not allowed. PvP is only allowed when everyone involved agrees. Town or team battles can still happen but only when people say yes so things do not turn into total chaos.
Spawn is planned as a real community area not just a spawn point. Players can add their own builds there and hang out. The server is social and people like to be online at the same time and talk in voice calls while they play so it feels like a small community.
The server supports both Java and Bedrock so different platforms can play together. It only uses vanilla style plugins that make life easier but do not change the core survival gameplay. There are basic commands like home and tpa and some protection tools plus a plugin that links things with Discord. There is also a future End event planned so players can gear up together for it. Moderators will be needed as the server gets bigger.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
