ColonyMC is an open beta factions SMP that is trying to be a long term world. It feels like it cares about real progression and faction wars instead of quick resets.
I noticed it avoids instant god kits and it is not pushing a crate spam economy. The server is building systems slowly and testing them while taking player feedback so joining early can matter.
There are over 100 custom enchantments and they are meant to be balanced with a structured rarity system. It also has custom bosses with more planned and the PvP balance gets adjusted.
The world is made for strategy with big terrain and natural choke points plus hidden areas worth fighting over. There is a live Dynmap for scouting and planning and territory control is a big deal.
It supports Simple Voice Chat and Eaglercraft and it has ViaVersion. Version 1.21.10 is recommended.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBumCraft Reborn ATM10 SMP PVE
BumCraft Reborn is a newer modded SMP server that is running All The Mods 10 version 5.4. It started as a homebrew pack but they switched over and they might add their own stuff later.
The vibe is PVE and survival with very light RP. There are a bunch of roles so people can have a status like barons and town leaders and faction leaders and warriors and more.
The rules live in their Discord but the main idea is simple. Do not be a jerk and keep chat clean. They say they are not super PC but they also do not want people acting like loose cannons.
They are small right now with around 15 members. They want to grow and they are mainly hoping for 20 to 30 consistent players even though more is welcome. Activity is not 24 7 so expect it to be chill some days.
They also have lots of Discord channels for stuff like Spanish chat and memes and videos and animal photos and mod suggestions and other games plus bug reports and faction threads.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEarth Map Nations War Event
I found a small Minecraft event idea that takes place on a full Earth style map at a 1-9000 scale.
It is planned as a 2 to 3 hour session where players spread out across the continents and start little nations.
People can make alliances start drama and fight if it happens. It is meant to be more fun than serious and it is still just getting interest.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAstral SMP Story Driven Lore Saga

Halcyon is a Lands PvP server that is going for an immersive medieval feel while still running the latest vanilla Minecraft 1.21.11. It is based in Australia and it has players from Europe the Americas and Asia. It usually sits around 10 to 30 players online.
The world is handmade and the rules are set up to make survival harder and slower. It tries to stop a lot of meta stuff and instead rewards teamwork creativity and players who specialize in jobs. Winning is more about bravery deals and building big cities and fortresses plus getting other players to join you.
Travel matters a lot here because there is no teleportation. People end up making roads waystations and even secret underground rail lines. Some crops and saplings only work in certain biomes so trading becomes important and different areas start to feel unique.
You do not have to follow strict lore. Players can just start like normal and see what stories happen as the server grows. Nights cannot be skipped and healing is slow and only works in certain conditions so you have to be careful out there.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFolksMC Semi Vanilla Factions SMP Wars

The main style is factions so you can join a team make your own group or stay as a nomad. There are wars but they try to keep it fair by having factions negotiate the war rules first so everyone can have fun.
