I found a hardcore survival SMP called LUMI HARDCORE and it is mostly vanilla with one big rule. You only get one life.
If you die you do not come back right away. You end up in an infirmary until the next reset and there are no revives.
The world resets every 60 days so each season uses a brand new seed. That means nobody keeps a huge head start for long and everyone gets a fresh start together.
It is whitelisted so you have to apply to get in. It also supports both Java and Bedrock since crossplay is enabled.

Anarchy Unbound is a lawless survival server where players get total freedom. There are no rules and no bans and no protections. Admins do not step in so whatever happens is on you.
The world is huge with a 1,000,000 by 1,000,000 border so you can fight near spawn or vanish far away. There are no resets so every base and crater stays as server history.
Duping is allowed if you can figure it out. Nothing is explained and nobody is going to hand you answers. People guard info hard because it can change everything.

Halcyon is a Lands PvP server that goes for a real medieval vibe with an old school survival feel. It was started by a postgraduate medievalist and it runs on the latest vanilla Minecraft version 1.21.11. The server is based in Australia but people also play from Europe the Americas and Asia and it usually has about 10 to 30 players on at once.
The world is handmade and the rules are set up to make the game harder and slower. It tries to push players away from meta strategies and toward creativity teamwork and specialisation. Doing well is more about big brave fights smart deals building strong cities and fortresses and getting other players to follow you.
There is no teleportation so travel matters a lot. Players end up making roads waystations and secret railways underground to get around. 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 and there is no pre built story. You can just start like normal and then your own story grows as other players get involved and people even make art books myths and superstitions.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModern Apocalypse Horror Survival Parasitus

I found a long term survival multiplayer server that is meant to be really hard and intense. It is hardcore style where dying gets you banned for 12 hours so every fight matters.
It runs on hardmode and natural regeneration is turned off. That makes food and healing super important and it feels more like a real struggle.
The server has a small group of active players right now. It also has a few MMO style things like skills and collection tracking but it is kept very minimal and mostly just quality of life.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCaveMC Season 2 Semi-Anarchy Underground

I found Summit Survival and it feels like the kind of Minecraft server that keeps things simple. It started back in 2020 and it has grown into a real community even after a lot of the original friends stopped playing.
It is a hard survival server with keep inventory turned off so deaths matter. There are no land claims so you play more naturally with your friends and the world. Trading is based on raw gold and there is a player run shopping district.
The server has a few quality of life commands like spawn and sethome and it also has night skip. Staff are mostly hands off and they step in for cheating or griefing.
The rules are serious about fair play. No hacking or x ray and no removing lava fog. You are not supposed to mess with other player builds or entities and you should keep a reasonable distance from other bases. Big duplication glitches are not allowed but some small single item dupes are ok. Hate speech and anything that pushes real world violence is not allowed.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded AVP SMP Build Big Survive Hard
This is a modded SMP where people try to build huge projects and actually keep them. The world is meant to last and they say there are no resets so your bases stay around.
The main vibe is tech and building. You can make big factories and set up power systems and mess with multiblock style builds and moving contraptions.
There is also space exploration for new areas and rare stuff. The survival side is serious because alien threats like xenomorphs and facehuggers can ruin you if you are not ready.
PvP is turned on but it sounds like you only do it if you want to. The server is whitelist only and you have to apply so they can keep random griefers out. It runs on 1.21.1 and it is up 24 7.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCave Only Semi-Anarchy Survival Season 2
