OnyxSMP is a survival server for 1.20.x that is about starting fresh with everybody on the same level. It is launching as soon as the community gives the go ahead so the start feels like an event.
The vibe is simple and focused. No big complicated hub stuff and no game breaking pay to win ranks. It is built for solid performance with high render distance and minimal lag so building and redstone feels smooth.
It is also community driven and they say they actually listen. A lot of the server choices came from votes and suggestions. If you like building redstone or a little civil chaos you will probably fit in.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPElysium SMP Whitelist Creative and Survival
Elysium is a small Java server that just reopened with a fresh start in early November. It is made for players who are 18+ and it keeps a chill community vibe with a few long time members still around.
There are three main worlds to play in. Survival is on 1.21.10 with a 10k by 10k border and mcMMO skills. It tries to feel more vanilla since teleport commands are off except for /home bed and people use Nether roof travel instead. There is also a spawn shopping district where players can run chest shops and diamonds are the money.
If you like building there is a Plots world with 85 by 85 plots so your builds stay safe. You start with one plot and you can earn more as you move up build ranks. There is also a Creative superflat freebuild world for bigger community builds and higher rank builders. Griefing and changing other peoples builds without permission is not allowed.
The server also has a main Hub world for traveling between worlds using /spawn or /hub. It has hangout spots plus an amphitheater for community gatherings and events. There is a second Creative world too and it is a perk for build ranks so builders can show off in a more exclusive space.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Vanilla World Just Started

I found a server called Kyle SMP 2 and it has this mystery vibe around who Kyle is. They have lore and they are rewriting a lot of it right now so new characters are welcome.
They usually play modded but they are doing vanilla for February and maybe longer. The server rules and any mod decisions get made by a council that players elect every month.
After you have been around for one week you can run for the council too. The world is getting a fresh wipe tonight so it is a good time to jump in.
They really push a fun friendly and safe community. The admins will ban people who ruin it. You have to be 15 or older to join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKyle SMP 2 Fresh Wipe Council SMP
