I found a server called MCVerse that is made for long term survival and big projects. The main idea is no reset and no grief so you can take long breaks and not worry about your stuff.
It is classic survival grind with no custom items enchants or skills. You can trade with player markets to skip some grinding or you can play fully solo style like a single player world. You can rank up for free just by playing and the perks are free.
The community tries to keep chat clean and swearing is not really welcome. Public chat is meant for Minecraft topics and gaming.
There are a few different places to play. The permanent survival world is on 1.21.10 and it has things like claims a map markets clans and fishing contests. There is also a hardcore vanilla option on 1.21.10 with no grief. There is a vanilla mode on 1.21.11 with smaller claims and worlds that last about 6 to 12 months. If you just want to test builds there is creative plots on 1.21.8 and it supports litematica pasting.
Gameplay stays almost purely vanilla but there are some teleports and optional quality of life stuff. Builders also get decoration tools like armor stands mini blocks and heads. The world is big and permanent and newer generation like Pale Gardens has been added into the main world naturally. The server has been online for two years and the players are from lots of ages.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCustom Living Warzone Beyond Spawn

I found a server where the main thing is a fully custom Warzone that kicks in when you go past radius 50 from spawn. They say it is all coded from scratch as one plugin with procedural generation.
Once you cross in the sky locks to permanent midnight even if it is daytime somewhere else. The ground looks wrecked with craters obsidian spikes bone monuments with chains volcanic ash dead forests with cobwebs and magma veins splitting the earth. You also get soul colored particles and you hear creepy stuff like explosions whispers and Sculk Shrieker sounds. Sometimes red nametags show up then vanish.
Deaths matter too. If you die in the Warzone your spot gets a permanent glowing red stain and a Soul Echo that looks like a floating head. You can harvest it for souls but it tells everyone your coordinates.
Meteors can crash down with loot chests and some are Cursed. The Cursed ones give huge loot but you get Glowing for a long time and your coordinates keep getting broadcast so people will hunt you.
There is a roaming Blood Fog and if you step inside your screen goes almost fully black. If you have a lot of hearts and sprint an invisible Heart Seeker can follow you and it sounds like Warden breathing right behind you. The Warzone also has random lightning ground fog and when it rains orange embers fall from the sky.
It supports Java and Bedrock using Geyser.
