Hydro SMP is a long term vanilla survival server that focuses on staying grief free and fair. The owners use performance mods and staff tools but the gameplay is still normal Minecraft survival.
The community is really big and active with thousands of people in the Discord. Some players have been around for years and new players join all the time. Big decisions for the server are voted on by everyone so the server feels very community driven.
Griefing cheating and similar stuff is not allowed at all. Staff uses tools to check what happened and can roll back builds so players can trust that their bases stay safe.
The server uses a custom resource pack that adds things like custom hats signs and banners. These are just cosmetic and do not change the gameplay. There are also things like proximity voice chat a live map and some small datapacks like dragon drops elytra and more building blocks.
The server runs on strong hardware in Germany and aims to keep 20 TPS so survival feels smooth even with a lot of people online.

Berry Civs is a civilization style roleplay SMP where the world is meant to last a long time. Players build towns trade with each other and make alliances or rivals. The server wants the history to come from what players actually do instead of scripted events.
The world has changed vanilla structures and new custom ones like ruins and fortified places. There are custom biomes and regions so exploring feels fresh and slow instead of just rushing to the end. PvP is allowed but it is supposed to be more structured and not just random griefing.
The monetisation is not pay to win. The store is being made to focus on cosmetics pets and vanity titles so it is only visual stuff. Supporter tiers are earned over time instead of just buying power.
The server runs Java Edition 1.21.11 and has crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can join together. It is hosted in the EU and does not need any mods to play. The server is live and keeps getting improved with long term sustainability in mind.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAurora SMP Season 1 Community Warfare
Aurora SMP is a small survival server that is all about building a community and sometimes having big wars.
The server is starting fresh with Season 1 on December 15 so everyone begins at the same time. It is a fabric 1.20.1 Java server with some quality of life mods and a dynmap plugin.
From what I can tell the main idea is to make friends build alliances and show off your building skills. The vibe is pretty laid back but there is still room for big conflicts between groups.
If you want to join early and help shape a new community Aurora SMP seems like a good place to start.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
