I found a small survival server that just started and it is trying to grow into a close community.
It is fully vanilla on 1.21.11 and they only add a few plugins if the members vote for them.
The vibe is more like a friends server where people trust each other. There are no land claims or stuff like that so it is meant to be chill and relaxed.
They want it to feel kind of like Hermitcraft where people build and have fun without wrecking everything.
Trust Based Vanilla Survival 1.21.11
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLuminary Falls Adults Only SMP No Resets
Luminary Falls is a long term survival SMP for adults who want a chill place that lasts. It is whitelist only and 18+ and it is made for a mature community.
The server runs Minecraft 1.21.11 on Java and it also supports Bedrock crossplay. It keeps the classic survival feel but uses quality of life plugins and datapacks to make things smoother without feeling unfair.
There are resource worlds so the main world does not need resets and your builds can stay for years. They also allow non advantage client mods like Litematica Xaeros Sodium and Dynamic Lights.
The community is active with players from around the world and the vibe is uplifting and LGBTQ+ friendly. You can build explore farm do redstone and join community events and usually someone is online.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMistyMC Long Term Vanilla SMP
MistyMC is a long term 100 percent vanilla SMP that has been running for around six months. It is a no reset world so your builds and progress are meant to stick around.
The server lets Java and Bedrock players play together on the most recent versions. The community is pretty tight and active on Discord and it seems like a good place to make friends.
People join to chill with others or bring their buddies for that two week Minecraft phase. Some players also like forming nations and just living the SMP life.
There is also a Bluemap so you can look at the world map outside the game.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
