Waychest is a PvE semi vanilla SMP where it feels like you are starting alone but you are actually in one big shared survival world.
You begin in your own Journey with a random spawn point and you can bring friends. Each Journey has its own spawn and its own progress so it feels like a private Realm but it still connects to everyone else out there.
As you explore you start finding special Waychests and other custom stuff that points you toward places people have been. You can even craft and place your own Waychests later so future Journeys can discover your builds.
There is also a Waychest Flight minigame where you craft an Elytra then fly through rings and it leads you to a Waychest made by a stranger. Fast travel exists too but you have to discover a warp spot first to unlock it.
It runs on Java 1.21.11 and you can join with a vanilla client.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAvarion Story RPG SMP Needs Creators
I found a server called Avarion and it is an RPG SMP that is built around a story driven world. It is made for mature content creators who want to stick around and make videos or stream.
The server has daily weekly and monthly quests and you can get rewards for doing them. There are RPG classes and custom weapons too.
There is a main storyline but it is not scripted so players can shape what happens. It also has balanced PvP and PvE so fighting feels fair.
There is a custom world with rifts to explore and they also talk about future races and expansions. The vibe is world building with light roleplay and collaborative storytelling.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
