I found Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival server that tries to feel like real Vanilla Minecraft. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City.
It stays online all the time and you can join on Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They recommend 1.21.10 so you do not run into issues.
The world is massive with a 2 million block border and there are no map resets. There is no teleporting and no pay to win. PvP and griefing are allowed so you should expect chaos.
The only non vanilla command is spawn so players far away can get back to civilization. Nether roof access is allowed. Phantoms are removed and only half the players are needed to skip the night.
They still have some limits like no exploits no lag machines no duping no spamming and no harassment or racial slurs in chat.

I found a true vanilla survival server that keeps it simple with minimal plugins and no ranks and no pay to win stuff.
It has a big world border so you can travel far and build out. The main twist is you get tempbanned when you die so staying alive actually matters.
When you first join you spawn with some starter items plus invis and regen so you can sneak away from spawn and get set up.
It works on both Java 1.21.11 and Bedrock 1.21.131 so friends can play together.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStrengthSMP Style Semi Vanilla PvP
This is a semi vanilla PvP server inspired by StrengthSMP where fighting actually changes your power. When you get kills you gain strength and it can make you feel way stronger over time.
If you drop down to -10 strength you get eliminated and banned. There is also a revive beacon so other players can bring you back and unban you which makes teams and drama matter a lot.
It has a custom spawn and a custom nether portal setup. The worldborder is massive at 100k by 100k so there is tons of space to run hide and build.
The server started on the first of January and the owner says it runs on 24GB of RAM with an 8 core 16 thread CPU at 4.60 GHz. They also want to run fun events once more players join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
