GoldspireMC is a semi vanilla survival server that is on Season 3 right now. It feels like it is made for people who want to grind and earn their stuff instead of watching someone swipe a card.
The ranks and crate stuff can be unlocked with in game money so paying is not the only way. The economy is run by players with shops and warps so trading and selling is a big part of the server.
You can play on Java or Bedrock which is nice for friend groups. It also has Discord chat connected so people can talk even when they are away.
The Nether and the End have a locator bar enabled so PvP can happen more and it is a high risk high reward vibe. Staff are active and they have rules against scamming and TP trapping so it stays fair.
They also upgraded the server specs to help with lag and they are planning more events after their hub event.
