Riot Block MC is a new prison server that is not pay to win and not OP. It feels built for fair progress where you actually have to play to get ahead.
The big highlight is the Wardens Lair. It is a huge cave system where you fight mobs and they drop cash. If you go deeper you can find hidden dungeons with unique loot and better rewards.
If you like the classic prison vibe there is also a mine and grind progression path. It has dozens of custom enchants and they run regular community events too.

Crown SMP is a new Java server for 1.21.8+ and it is looking for players and staff.
It has player choice PvP so you can toggle PvP in the survival world. There is also a dedicated PvP world where combat is forced so you can go fight when you actually want to.
Survival uses land claims so your builds stay protected. Unclaimed land is fair game so claiming matters and the rules feel balanced for smart survival.
There is a massive quest system with over 10,000 quests so you can explore grind and do objectives at your own pace. Jobs help you earn money from things like mining farming and building and there is leveling and prestiges for long term progression.
The economy is meant to stay balanced with player run chest shops and trading plus carefully tuned server shops. Extra stuff includes a mob arena custom enchants and redstone powered flight that uses fuel and a lot of cosmetic focused rewards.
