I found a small Java semi vanilla server that just released after about 4 months of work. It is built around realism so you have to earn your progress and it is not just free stuff.
It has a completely custom map plus custom ore generation. It also has custom combat and a climate system and more.
Auto farms are disabled so you cannot just automate everything. There is also a 125 dollar contest running for redesigning the servers logo and banner and you enter by submitting your own image.
