I found a Minecraft server that mixes Towny with classic survival so it feels different but still easy to understand.
You can build a town and grow it with other players. The economy is based on emeralds and you can get them by trading with villagers. There are player shops too so it turns into a real trading game.
You can level up skills and explore the world while you play. New players can get started fast since you can rent homes farms and other spots using /e homes forrent.
The server also says it is strict about not being pay to win so it stays fair and balanced for everyone.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAustralia Vanilla Anarchy No Rules

LegacyMC is a vanilla anarchy survival server that feels raw and wide open. There are no rules and no protection so anything can happen and it can last.
The world does not reset and there are no land claims. There is no teleporting around and you will not see admins stepping in to fix stuff. If you build it you defend it and if you lose it that is just part of the story.
PvP is on and griefing and raiding are allowed. The server is hosted on dedicated hardware in Australia so it is made for low lag for Australian and New Zealand players. It also says it is fully cost covered with no pay to win and no donation requests.
The server started in June 2025 so it is still pretty new for people who want to leave a mark in a long term world.

It supports both Java and Bedrock. There is an online interactive map and the world has Terralith generation with pre loaded chunks. Mobs and the dragon fight are upgraded and you also get things like timber and homes. Shops are planned for a later economy update.
