This is a StoneBlock 4 server running on Minecraft 1.21.1 and it feels pretty smooth. It is hosted on dedicated hardware with 16 cores and 32GB of fast RAM so the server usually holds 20 tps and runs really stable.
The server is in Europe in Belarus and it also uses a proxy tunnel through Germany. Because of that players from the US and Asia usually get better ping and lower latency. It feels like the owner really cares about performance and connection.
There are fancy progression based ranks that you unlock as you advance in the game. These ranks are connected to a discord integration so your progress shows in game and on discord. It makes the grind feel more rewarding and gives you stuff to work toward.
The server started on October 30th so the world is still pretty fresh. It is a modded experience focused on StoneBlock style gameplay and progression. If you want a stable modded server with neat ranks and good ping this one looks like a solid pick.

EchelonMC is a custom survival server that tries to stay simple and feel like normal Minecraft. You do not need any mods or special client stuff. Everything works on a regular install so it feels really familiar and easy to get into.
The server focuses on survival and keeps the core gameplay the same. Nothing feels super overpowered or crazy. Even Endermen cannot pick up blocks so your builds stay safe. Most systems are made to feel natural while you play instead of shoving menus in your face.
At spawn there are interactive NPCs that explain features and give you basic info. There is also a wilderness NPC that can teleport you to a random area if you just want to start fresh. The spawn hub is clean and gives you what you need when you first join.
EchelonMC has some cool quality of life stuff too. There is a command controller so you only see commands you can actually use. There is auto pathing where the ground wears down slowly as players travel so the world shows where people move. The server can update many things live without having to restart all the time.
The community is meant to help shape the server. There is a suggestion system in game where you use a command and it opens a book and you can write your ideas. The team reviews suggestions often and really wants player feedback to decide what gets added or changed.

LanderYT SMP is a semi vanilla server that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. The world is about four months old and the server resets once a year so you have time to build big projects without the world feeling too old.
The server is very friendly and they do not allow griefing or killing. It is focused on a peaceful survival style where people can build and trade and work together.
There is a custom texture pack with shop permits cool hats and custom weapons. These items are only cosmetic and do not change how the game works so the server still feels very vanilla.
The only teleport command you can use is spawn in the overworld. Because of that players are encouraged to make roads and highways connecting bases and shops.
They also use several Hermitcraft style datapacks like single player sleep player heads and armor statues. Discord chat is linked to Minecraft chat so people can talk easily whether they are in game or not.
CoreProtect is installed so staff can check griefing and protect builds. Events are hosted sometimes and you can win event coins that are used to buy cosmetic items like the hats and weapons.
There is a small staff team that tries to keep the server calm and fun and they listen to players when there are problems.
