The Pen is a classic prison server that feels like the older grindy style where you start with basic tools and leather armor and you work your way up. It is not one of those easy instant rich servers so you actually have to mine and smelt your ores and then take the risk of walking through PvP areas to sell at the Commissary.
The server leans into roleplay with Guards who help new players and also enforce contraband. Swords and potions are illegal and if a Guard catches you holding them they will fight you. If you act up you can even get sent to solitary confinement.
Ranking up goes from A through H then Parolee then Citizen. Once you hit the top you can prestige for special rewards. There are quests for extra cash or special items plus custom fishing and parkour challenges around the prison.
Making money is not just mining either. You can rent a cell or a plot to store stuff build and make your own shop. You can also grow special custom plants that are illegal in the prison for profit but you have to hide it from the Guards. If you have beef with someone you can put bounties on players and go claim ones you see on the board.

I found a survival server that goes hard on world building and geopolitics. Players make nations and the whole world is about diplomacy war economy and just staying alive.
It runs on 1.21.11 and it lets people join on different versions with ViaBackward. The world starts at 5000 by 5000 and it can expand when more players show up.
Travel is a big deal because there are no elytras. There are also no villagers so you cannot just trade forever. Crafting is tougher with custom recipes and netherite is 1 to 1 so it is not free.
Claims and borders are handled with a lands system so nations can hold territory. Roads and rails matter too since you move faster on proper roads and minecarts go way faster on powered rails.
There is a grindstone rework that lets you pull enchantments off and turn them into books. Farming and fishing are reworked so food and loot take more planning. You can also silk touch spawners and move them which changes defense and farming a lot.
The rarest thing is the mace since only ten exist on the whole server and each player can only craft one. Enchantments on it are restricted so it stays balanced and feels like a real legendary item.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Pen Classic Prison Grind Returns
