I found JSMC and it is called Just Simple Minecraft. It is a long term Java survival server for 16+ players.
The big idea is themed regions. You pick a direction and join a group. Then you build in that theme and help a world that keeps growing.
It is trust based survival. There are no teleports. There are no land claims. There are no locked chests. There is no pay to win. The server wants proper builds and steady progression instead of wiping all the time.

I found a server that brought back an older name and started fresh again. It is survival with plugins and it keeps the game feeling like normal survival.
You can play pure survival while still having terrain protection. The economy is meant to be balanced so trading and buying stuff does not feel broken.
If you explore around you can find spawn egg trackers. Those let you buy drugs and some rare items which makes exploring feel worth it.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
