I found a small semi vanilla survival server that is in testing right now.
They said the real start is in about a week so it feels like a fresh beginning soon.
It looks like the main vibe is just normal survival with only small changes and a small group of players.
All Outta Blocks is a community centered SMP that feels like a Hermitcraft style world. It is made by the players for the players and the goal is to keep that vanilla experience while still growing when the community wants it.
There is a diamond based economy with a shopping district. You will also see public builds and bigger community projects. Proximity chat is a big deal here and most players actually use it.
There are homes plus some cosmetic and quality of life plugins. New stuff gets added from community requests and polls.
The server is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11. It is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. You can usually find 5 to 20 people online during the day and there are lots of regular active players. If you want friends there are groups looking for new members.

I found a fresh new All the Mods 10 server running version 5.5. It is just getting started so it is a good time to jump in and build up with other players.
The host knows a lot of the mods and says they will try to help if you are new to the pack. It is public but they will kick people who ruin the fun so the vibe is supposed to stay kind and chill.

ZaosMC is a Java Edition survival RPG server that is made for long term play. It is not a seasonal world and it is built so your progress can stick around.
The server leans into RPG style growth with skills upgrades and custom gear. It still keeps the survival feel and tries to stay fair and immersive.
There is a player driven economy with trading auctions shops and currency. Items are meant to have real value so grinding and selling actually matters.
They also say it is strictly no pay to win with donations kept cosmetic or convenience based. The server focuses on stable performance and active development with regular updates.
People can play how they want like building huge bases and towns exploring and pushing toward end game challenges. The community is described as welcoming with builders explorers grinders engineers and solo players.

Land claiming helps keep your stuff safe without being annoying. If you die your items sit in a gravestone for a few hours so it is not super stressful.
There is a skill system that levels as you play and gives small perks over time. When you go raiding together everyone gets their own loot so nobody argues.
Proximity voice chat is optional and you can use party chat too. The server also has seasons and holiday events to make the world feel more alive.
It is Java 1.21.11 and whitelist only and it is hosted in the UK.
BlueHat SMP is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to stay out of your way so you can just play.
There are no land claims and there is not some huge rulebook. You can build big bases raid other players make alliances and start wars if you want.
The rules are simple do not cheat and do not be genuinely awful to people outside the game. Everything else is pretty much allowed.
It is on the latest version for Java. There are also races if you want to be different.
