StravosSMP is a survival server that tries to keep the vanilla feel but still adds quality of life stuff. It runs on the newest Minecraft version listed as 1.26.1 and you do not need to download a modpack since it is all server side.
If you hate losing your items this server uses a grave system so your stuff stays in a grave instead of despawning. There is also VeinMiner so you can break ore veins faster and get back to building.
The server has a live auction house that makes trading easy and it feels like a player driven economy. You also get /sethome and /tpa so traveling is quick.
It also says there are no buy to win ranks so everyone starts with the same features.
