I found a survival SMP that is about 2 weeks old and it has a small active group with around 6 to 9 people on. It started after the old world ran for more than 3 years so everyone decided to restart fresh.
It is vanilla plus on fabric and you can still join with a normal vanilla client. The server has extra stuff that mostly helps gameplay like faster leaf decay terralith world generation dynmap claims mini blocks and heads gravestones and backups. There is also proximity voice chat but you need a mod if you want to use that.
They might make a central shopping district later and it will not use any currency mods. They also say they will never sell advantages or ask for money so it is just for fun.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPStarfall Sanctuary Season 4 Vanilla Plus
Starfall Sanctuary is a semi vanilla server that just started Season 4 and it is looking for a few more people to join. It is a small adult group around 10 players and they have been playing together for a long time across many seasons. The vibe is chill and it is more about friends and building than trying to be a huge server.
The world is still fresh and there is a live map you can check. They picked a seed where the spawn continent has all biomes so builders have lots of choices.
It is vanilla plus with a bunch of quality of life stuff like proximity voice chat graves homes and TPA and a toggleable timber feature. There are creative helpers too like an armor stand editor mini blocks mob and player heads invisible item frames and a painting picker with the stonecutter.
They run strict rules and keep things drama free. Mobs do not grief builds and they watch for trouble with rollback tools. X ray and hacks are blocked so it stays fair.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
