I found a Vanilla+ survival server that is all about working together and being part of a community.
They run monthly events so there is always something going on. They also do build competitions so you can show off your builds and see what everyone else makes.
It looks like they really want new players to join and just hang out and play together.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSableCraft Long Term Semi Vanilla SMP
SableCraft is a small semi vanilla survival SMP that is being opened up from the very start. It is meant to be long term and not the kind of place that wipes all the time.
The vibe is chill and respectful and it welcomes builders casual players and creators. The server is trying to stay clean with no pay to win no anarchy and no drama.
It is community driven from day 1 and they are running player applications for season 1 plus optional staff applications. The launch is coming soon so people can get in early and help shape how it goes.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLunar Falls 21+ Cozy Semi-Vanilla SMP
Lunar Falls is a community focused SMP for adults who are 21 and up. It is made to feel relaxed and friendly so you can build stuff make friends and just enjoy survival.
The server runs on Minecraft 1.21.10 using Fabric and it is hosted in the Eastern USA. It stays vanilla with some QoL datapacks and you do not need any mods or resource packs to join.
There are no paid ranks and no fly or tp commands. It also has some grief prevention style rules like no fire tick no phantoms and no enderman grief.
You can use a live map with BlueMap. There is also an optional lightweight resource pack with custom textures for things like food drinks and hats plus optional Simple Voice Chat.
Players use a diamond economy with a player run shopping district. The season started on Sept 26th 2025 and they still have room for more people plus regular events community projects and challenges. People play from lots of places and solo players are welcome too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
