I found this server called AVP SMP and it is a modded survival world that is made for long term play. The whole thing is set up with a sci fi style and AVP type theme so it feels different from normal Minecraft.
The server uses Create and Immersive Engineering so players can build big factories and power systems. People are supposed to work on huge bases and shared infrastructure projects together. There is also space exploration and alien style threats so there is more danger and progression than regular survival.
PvP is turned on but it is not forced so you do not have to fight if you do not want to. The world is meant to last a long time and there are no planned resets so big builds actually matter.
This is an application based server so they only let in people who really want to play and help keep the community solid. The server runs 24 7 and it will fully start once enough players join so everyone can begin at the same time.
The version is 1.21.1 and it is still in pre launch so it is a good time to get in early.

This is a semi vanilla SMP called Outcrafted and it is starting season 3.
The server wants around 50 to 100 active players so it feels alive but not too crowded. It is for players who are 16 or older so the vibe is more mature.
It is mostly normal survival but with a few twists. There is simple voice chat so people can talk while they play. There are dungeons and taverns that add cool custom structures so exploring the world feels fresh. There are also some custom maces that change up combat a little for this season.
You do not need to fill out an application to join. You just join and follow the rules and then you are good to go.
Season 3 starts on Friday the 16th so everyone can jump in at the same time and grow the world together.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAnarchy Network Semi-Vanilla Chaos Survival
Anarchy Network is a semi anarchy Minecraft server that tries to feel like pure survival. It launched on October 11th 2024 and is hosted in New York City in the United States.
The server keeps things super close to vanilla. There are almost no rules and barely any extra commands. There are no map resets no teleport commands and no pay to win stuff. Griefing is allowed and PVP is allowed so you are never really safe. The only special command you get is spawn so people far away can still reach other players.
There are a few small changes to make gameplay smoother. The nether roof is allowed phantoms are removed and only about half the players online are needed to skip the night. The world border is set to two million blocks so there is tons of space to explore and build.
The server is online all the time and you can join on almost any Java version from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. The owner recommends joining on version 1.21.10 so things work better.
Even though it is semi anarchy there are some limits. Exploits lag machines duping and spamming are not allowed. Harassment and racial slurs in chat are also not allowed. So you can be chaotic but you still have to respect those basic rules.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHomesteadCraft 21+ No Reset Survival
HomesteadCraft is a survival server that is only for adults 21 and older. The world has been running for about four years and it never gets reset. It just gets expanded when new updates come out so you can build long term stuff and not worry about losing it.
The community feels small and chill. There is no drama and no kids. People there like big builds and huge projects and you can really tell because the world has been around so long.
The server runs Java 1.21.8 and uses a few quality of life plugins. There is one player sleep normal difficulty and antigrief claims. You also get aura skills and an acuteloot plugin. Most plugins can be turned off if you do not like them.
They have separate resource worlds for the overworld the nether and the end that reset every week. The main world does not reset so your main base is always safe.
There is a player run shopping district and even a gaming island for extra stuff to do. There is no required playtime so you can play when you want and still fit in with the rest of the server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
