I found this server called 5tarRock and it is a small semi vanilla world that is getting close to release. The owners have been building it for about four months and they made a completely custom map that looks really detailed.
The whole idea is about realism. You do not just get stuff for free and you actually have to work for everything. Auto farms are turned off so you cannot just afk and win. There is custom ore generation and custom combat and even a custom climate system so the world feels different from normal Minecraft.
The community is small and they are looking for more players who like a challenge and want to grind. Right now they are also running a 125 dollar contest for redesigning their logo and banner and all you have to do is make and submit a picture for a chance to win.

Community Survivalgamerule tweaksgrind-friendlyhard survivalhardcore vibejava bedrocklong-term worldlow rulesMinimal Tweaksnether roofnight skip sleepNo map resetsNo world bordernon reset worldPhantom Controlpvp allowedquality pluginssemi anarchySurvival-Focusedvanilla style
XYZ Vanilla is a semi vanilla survival server that feels close to normal Minecraft but with a few smart changes to make it more fun. It has a semi anarchy style so players get a lot of freedom and the rules are pretty light.
The world is meant to last a long time. There is no artificial world border and no planned map resets so builds can stay around. The server runs on hard difficulty so mobs hit harder and surviving actually matters.
There are some cool gameplay tweaks. Only 25 percent of players need to sleep to skip the night. Nether roof access is allowed which makes travel easier. Phantoms can be controlled with a command so you can choose if they spawn or not. The respawn radius around spawn is increased so new players do not pile up in the exact same spot.
The rules are simple. No hacks or exploits. No lag machines. No duping except for TNT carpet and rails which are allowed. The server works for both Java and Bedrock players and it is best if you play on the latest version so things do not break.
Overall it looks like a survival server for people who want a mostly vanilla game with freedom to do what they want but still keep things fair and stable.

Survival+ Economy Raiding And Real PvP
auction housebalanced gameplayCompetitive PVPCustom Combatenchant combosgear buildinggrind-friendlyhardcore survivallong termno pay towinopen worldPlayer EconomyPlayer TradingProgression FocusedPvp RaidingRaiding AllowedSemi Vanillaskill-basedSMP styleteam-based
This server is called Survival Plus and it is a custom SMP for people who like progression pvp and money stuff but still want normal survival.
The enchants are super custom and have real rarity from common to legendary. They do things like slowness poison weakness wither knockback lifesteal and even turn off other enchants for a bit. So your gear build actually matters and fights have counterplay instead of who hits first.
The economy is all about playing the game. You sell items and level up sell multipliers for different item types. You can use crops ores mob drops and spawners to make money in different ways so you are not stuck doing one boring farm. You can buy basic stuff in shop or buy and sell with other players using the auction house.
PvP is part of the world here. There are teams and raiding is allowed and insiding and scamming items are allowed too. But cheats and unfair advantages are blocked so fights are about skill and gear and builds not hacks.
There is also a cosmetic wrap system for your gear. You can change how your armor and weapons look with different colors effects and themes without changing stats so it is not pay to win but your high end sets still look cool.
The server has an in game guide rtp teams leaderboards and a clean custom menu so it is easy to learn without watching videos.
