EchelonMC is a hand built survival server that was made from scratch and kept in active development. It is hosted in Canada and it has had about two months of work put into it so far. The owner builds it around player suggestions and over 100 of those ideas are already in.
This server is for long term building and real progression. It is not pay to win and the world is not planned to reset. It also is not trying to be a recycled server with copy paste systems.
There are custom coded systems like a currency you earn by just playing. Mining farming fishing exploring and building all help you earn it and you can spend it on progression and quality of life stuff.
Land claiming is a big deal here with visual borders and lots of settings. It can help stop raids and protect builds with controls for TNT creepers fire fluids and even mob spawning. You can also do things like chunk settings claim decay and claim bundling for big projects.
You can make teams and use private team chat. You can also list public builds so other players can visit and vote. Graves are included too so your items are protected for a limited time with balanced recovery.

I found LegionCraft and it is a OneBlock survival server where you start small and keep breaking blocks to grow your island. It feels like every block matters because you are always trying to push forward.
There are challenging bosses and when you beat them they can drop keys. You can use keys on crates to get rare loot and epic gear so fighting is actually worth it.
It also has chunk hoppers so you can automate parts of your island. The server says it is not pay to win so it is meant to feel fair while you build grind fight and loot.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
