ArcticMC is a new survival server that started a couple days ago and it mixes Towny with factions. You can build a town and claim land then team up with others or try to take your own space.
PVP matters here but they try to keep it fair with an honor system that is explained in their rules. It feels like the kind of place where people actually want fights to be decent and not just toxic.
It also uses McMMO skills so you level up while you play and unlock special abilities as you get stronger. There are custom items too and they even have furniture that is entity based so they plan limits to help with lag.
The world generation is tectonic style so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys. The community is meant to be calm and friendly so you can grind build or just hang out.

GlowSMP is a newly released Vanilla plus survival server for people who want to build grind or just chill. It supports both Java and Bedrock on versions 1.21 to 1.21.10.
The vibe stays close to vanilla but it adds a bunch of quality of life stuff. There is voice chat and messages plus better harvesting chest sorting a gradient tool graves and a live map.
Fishing is a big deal here since there are lots of new fish you can catch and sell for money. It also tracks what you get and has a leaderboard for the best fisherman.
There are 11 special enchantment books that help with building and gathering like taking down a whole tree at once and getting haste for mining. Jobs are also different because you do not pick just a few. You earn experience and money from most actions and you can see who is doing what the most on the leaderboard.
Claims are available so you do not have to stress about griefing. The server is fully free to play and everything is obtainable for all players. There are vote ranks and there is an optional shop if you want to skip some hassle but buying stuff is not expected.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
