I found the Kere server and it is a hardcore survival server but it plays really different.
There are no structures and no hostile mobs spawning so the danger is more about staying alive in hardcore while you explore and build.
The terrain generation is made to feel like continents instead of one giant landmass and there are a bunch of small features to discover.
It is on Java and it says version 1.21.11.

Ferrum Aetheris is a modded RP SMP with a big world and a big vibe. The land has old lore about ancient builders draining everything. Now new races show up and the world is trying to recover. You can lean into that story or ignore it and just survive and build.
This server is super player driven. Most things are either naturally generated or built by players. It feels like the future of the world is decided by the people playing and not admins using creative tools.
The roleplay is usually casual and not heavily scripted. It is more about having fun with your character and your friends.
The modpack is medium sized at around 120 mods and it is built to work together. It has moving structures like airships and other vehicles.

UneasyVanilla is a vanilla Minecraft server that mixes survival with a semi anarchy vibe. It feels relaxed and tight knit but it still lets you play wild once you get going.
The world is over 4 years old so there is a lot of history in it. Spawn is completely griefed and your first moments start inside a maze of lavacasts. If you can escape then you can explore and make a base wherever you want.
The server tries to stay true to the original Minecraft feeling. It has some rules though and staff will ban cheaters and keep the server running smooth so normal players can still have fun.
It runs on version 1.21.8 and it is a good place for alliances big builds and tense survival moments where you never know who you will run into.

DawnpeakSMP is a survival world that tries hard to feel alive and kind of mystical. It is set on hard difficulty so messing up actually matters and surviving feels intense.
It has proximity voice chat so talking with people nearby feels natural and random. The server is built around slow meaningful progression so you do not rush to the end and every upgrade feels earned.
I also saw custom mobs and big boss battles that are meant to be way tougher than vanilla. Exploration looks like a huge focus too with custom structures hidden areas dungeons and strange encounters.
There is Towny and an economy so you can start a town or clan. You can make allies start rivalries and trade or fight other groups.
It also says no pay to win at all. No paid kits and no boosts so everyone has to earn their power the same way.

PurpleSMP is a simple survival server that is made to feel calm but still has some nice features. It runs a recent version of Minecraft and is built for players who just want to build and relax without dealing with annoying people.
The server uses mcMMO so you can level skills and make grinding for resources feel more satisfying. There is a player based economy with no fixed shops and no set currency. All the value comes from what players trade and create together.
There are land claims so you can protect your base and build up your own little empire. Everyone gets a personal vault so you have extra storage when your inventory fills up. The server also has a live map you can view in a browser so you can see the world like a map website.
PvP is off by default but you can toggle it if you want to mess around with friends. The server has strong protection systems. Every block placed or broken gets logged and your inventory is backed up each time you join leave or die. Staff can roll things back if someone breaks the rules.
There is also a solid anti cheat. When someone triggers it staff get alerted right away and the plugin takes action until it can be checked. The whole idea of PurpleSMP is to be a small safe and long term place for people who just want to enjoy survival and building in peace.
