I found LichCraft and it is a Java semi vanilla SMP on 1.21.11 with a fantasy vibe. The world is built up by the community and there is a big spawn city that players made together.
It has custom boss fights made with MythicMobs and special drops. They are working on more stuff like instanced dungeons and custom items like a Healing Wand and a Fireball Wand plus teleport crystals.
Survival feels fair because you can protect your land with claims and you start with a lot of blocks then earn more by playing. There are timed gravestones so you can get your gear back. Admins try to stay out of the way and big changes need an 80 percent community vote.
People connect everything with ice highways nether portals roads and shared builds. There is also a live map so you can see what is going on. The economy is player run with shop hubs in spawn the Nether and the End and you can buy a shop plot with diamonds.
Rules are simple be kind do not cheat and do not lag the server. VPNs are not allowed.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMarthia Nations Semi Vanilla Empires
Marthia Nations is a semi vanilla server that feels like a big long story. It used to be a normal SMP and slowly turned into a nations server. The current world has been running for over three years so there is a lot of history everywhere you go.
On this server people build empires and fight battles. You can use working ships and planes with plugins like Movecraft. Some people focus on wars and strategy. Other players just build a small quiet base and relax. It really depends on what you like.
There are plugins like Brewery where you can make drinks and Dynmap so you can see the world map in real time. Geyser lets more players join in different ways. The server is semi vanilla so it still feels like normal Minecraft but with extra tools.
The community seems pretty friendly and the staff team is helpful. It is more than just a random server. It is a place where people know each other and build stuff together over a long time.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
