I found a decent sized survival SMP with around 10 active players and about 5 daily. It is made to feel like classic Minecraft and it stays really close to vanilla.
There are no teleports so no home commands and no player teleport. There are no land claims either. They use CoreProtect to track griefing and they do strict punishments.
There are no kits and no perks and no scripted towns. Players make their own clans and villages and cities without a plugin running everything.
Voice chat is optional using Simple Voice Chat. The server is EU based and you need to get whitelisted to join.

Toms3 is an anarchy server that is trying to be a small and fresh option instead of huge servers. It is inspired by 2b2t and Hisparquia and it came back with a brand new world after being closed before.
The whole point is no admins and no rules. No bans and no shadowbans so you can do whatever you want. It is cracked and it uses a separate authentication server.
Gameplay stays near vanilla with only a few changes for stability. There is no tpa and no home commands so travel matters. Chat also feels like the old anarchy style with greentext plus whisper and reply and ignore.
There is a strict anti cheat like 2b2t and some movement stuff like Flight and ElytraFly and Timer is blocked. Modified clients are allowed though and they do not really care if you find bypasses.
If you build a lot then printers work and Air Place works too. For pvp it mentions anchors and offhand crystals get heavily penalized. The server has two dupes listed which are item frame dupe and donkey dupe for 1.15.2.
It is made to run long term and if it ever shuts down they say they will release a full world download. It started for Spanish speakers but it has been translated almost fully into english so more people can play.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
