I found a small friendly Towny and SMP server called GamerHub Towny. It is made for chilling but it can still feel casually competitive. The community is welcoming and you can usually find people around in AU EU and US timezones.
The rules are clear and it is no grief and no stealing. They also say there are no resets ever so your progress stays.
You can build claim land and grow a town with Towny. It also has Jobs MCMMO and an in game ranking system. There is Dynmap so you can see the world. You get player warps and player shops plus a sell only server shop.
It runs on version 1.21.x and it also supports Bedrock players.

The big thing here is player choice PvP. You can toggle PvP in the survival world so you decide when fights happen. There is also a separate PvP world where combat is forced so it feels more like risk vs reward.

Minemist is a small Java 1.21.11 SMP that opened on November 25th 2025. It is hosted in Sydney Australia so it fits Oceania players really well.
The whole server feels like a town and nation simulator with war and geopolitics. There is a server story too and an entity called Misty is part of the world and she watches what players do.
You can make towns and nations and the world is bordered. There are jobs a culture system and progression ranks plus tweaks to enchantments and a slower endgame. MCMMO is also here and you get chest locks an auction house player warps and player vaults.
Enchantments are political because you must pick a culture called Power Freedom or Balance. Each one controls what enchantments you can get so you cannot just do everything alone. If you want it all you have to negotiate manipulate and explore.
Progression is revamped so villagers do not give you easy enchanted books. Enchantments come from crafting the enchanting table or loot and rare materials matter. When somebody has stacked gear it means they actually earned it.
War is used more for politics than for pure PvP. Only nations can go to war with towns and winners can occupy a town or plunder money. You can raid items and break crops but destructive griefing is not allowed and staff can rollback damage. The live map shows where players are in the overworld so everyone can see what is going on.
