I found a completely vanilla Bedrock SMP that is looking for chill players. The community seems really dedicated and friendly and they like to chat.
The owner sounds serious about keeping the rules fair and keeping the server fun. It stays true to normal Minecraft with only a realm management tool for rules and a scoreboard for tracking.
You can build and you can also PVP. Griefing and stealing are allowed too so it can get wild. A new season is starting tomorrow so it is a good time to join.
I found a new Minecraft SMP called Dying Light SMP and it is meant to be serious and long term with players who actually stick around.
It is using a Strength SMP plugin so your gameplay changes based on what you do. The idea is you get stronger over time and try to survive longer while making your own story.
They are doing applications to keep the server active and not full of random people who quit fast. Expect player driven alliances and conflicts with a serious but still fun vibe.
The server is launching this weekend on Friday 27th of March at 7pm GMT+0 and they say day one is a big deal.

I found a hardcore SMP that is trying to feel like those Minecraft civilization videos but it runs all the time and it is not just a one time event.
It is invite only and the only way new people get in is if someone already inside invites them. This is meant to keep the community active and help avoid trolls.
The server has secret tweaks and mechanics and they do not give you guides. You are supposed to figure things out yourself which makes paying attention really matter.
There is also a built in clan and family system so you do not just show up alone in a hardcore world. You join as part of a group and you end up being part of an ongoing story.
Rosedalean SMP is an 18 plus Minecraft server that feels like a chill community world. It runs enhanced vanilla with a hermitcraft style vibe so it still feels like normal Minecraft but with some extra cool stuff.
The server uses add ons instead of full mods so you do not have to download anything extra. There is simple voice chat for players who like to talk while they play. The world uses Terralith biomes so exploring feels fresh and different. There is also a blue map so you can see how the world looks as people build and explore.
The community is a mix of casual and dedicated players. Some people make big factions and try to be the strongest group on the server. Other people just build cute villages and hang out with animals. Anything goes as long as you follow the rules and do not troll or grief.
It is an application only server which helps keep out trolls and griefers. There is an easy ticket system if you need help with something. The staff and players like to run community events and they really listen to suggestions from everyone.
