Malgazar SMP is a chill survival server where people are meant to build without getting wrecked. It runs on 1.21.11 and it is hosted in the UK on purpur. The community is pretty active and it says you need an official Minecraft launcher so no cracked clients.
The rules are focused on keeping stuff safe. No griefing no stealing no scamming no slurs and no drama. PvP is only if both people agree and stuff like x ray cheats seed maps and duping glitches are not allowed. You also are not supposed to mess with other peoples pets or animals and breaking rules can get you locked in a cage for a while or banned.
There are some QOL features too like keep inventory and explosions not breaking blocks. It has veinminer and mcmmo for leveling skills. Fishing has extra loot with super rare chances and there is a mod that can rollback grief fast and show who interacted with blocks. The world border is set to 15k and the outer end islands reset every week.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBeeetCraft Chill Vanilla Plus SMP 17+

BeeetCraft is a small Vanilla plus SMP that just launched and it is meant to stay tight knit. It is whitelist only and it is for 17 plus players who want a chill place with less drama.
The gameplay sticks close to normal Minecraft with quality of life tweaks and nothing that feels overpowered. Netherite is disabled and The End is also not open yet so progression stays more balanced and slower.
Players help shape the server since people vote on features and future updates. The goal is a long term world where towns can form naturally and shops and a player economy can matter. Rivalries and politics can happen but without toxicity and your base should not get wiped fast.
The server is on a dedicated self hosted machine and the whitelist is there to filter out griefers. Events are planned and future quest and job systems are also planned. There are also ideas for a PvP or semi anarchy server later and maybe Bedrock support if enough people want it.
