I found UnstoppableSMP and it is based on UnstableSMP. It is a survival server that is open for everyone.
You can join on Java or Bedrock and it also allows cracked players. The version listed is 1.21.11.
The big rule is you should not die because you only get one life every 12 hours. It makes everything feel more serious and kind of stressful in a fun way.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVanilla Survival With Lifesteal Coming Soon
I found a pretty vanilla survival server that is getting ready to open soon.
The main twist is lifesteal so fights matter more and you can take hearts from other players.
They are looking for players and it sounds like the goal is to keep things simple besides that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCustom Plugins Datapacks Bots Built Fast
This is a place where an experienced Minecraft developer is looking to help server owners and also meet new friends.
They have been making custom plugins datapacks and Discord bots for about 12 years. They say if you can describe what you want they can build it and if it does not exist yet they will figure it out with you.
They can make stuff for lots of gamemodes like survival skyblock lifesteal prison SMP and minigames. They also mention custom challenges and events like the kind you see going viral on YouTube Shorts.
Pricing is negotiable depending on how big the project is. They also say they communicate during the whole process so you are not left guessing.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Lifesteal SMP With Proximity Chat
Awesome SMP 2 is a fresh Lifesteal SMP where fights actually matter because you can gain hearts by eliminating other players. It is meant to feel mostly vanilla and not like some huge modpack.
It only uses a couple mods to keep things simple. There is a voice chat mod so you can talk in proximity and that makes random encounters and fights way funnier. It also has JEI so crafting is easier to figure out.
The server is competitive but still supposed to be fun. There are streamers and regular players so people can make content start wars build alliances or just grind and survive. The world is new so everyone starts equal and the owner says events are planned.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLifesteal SMP PVP Raiding Starts Feb 28
I found a Lifesteal SMP that is starting on February 28th. It is built around PVP and base raiding so people can fight and go after each other.
The lifesteal part is tied to PVP deaths. You only lose a heart when another player kills you so natural deaths are not as scary. They are looking for more players to join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
