I found a small scale vanilla survival server that keeps things simple. It is made for people who want normal Minecraft without crazy mods.
Chat is not full of constant spam and the rules are simple. The staff is said to be not abusive.
The server is in the EU region and it runs on version 1.21.11.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTMKASE SMP No Rules No Pay2Win
This is a survival server that feels like just playing Minecraft again. There is no pay to win stuff and there are not a ton of annoying rules.
It is a custom SMP that does not use claim land systems. You just join and start building and surviving. The whole point is to get away from crazy plugins and huge rulebooks.
The community is growing and it seems like people join because they want simple gameplay. You play survival build stuff and try to stay alive without a bunch of nonsense in the way.
If you want a server that is focused on normal survival and building with no pay to win this server is made for that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrystalSMP Chill Community SMP
I found this cool Minecraft server called CrystalSMP. It's a semi-vanilla server that's all about a cozy and social experience. It's perfect for players 17 and up who want to unwind and have fun without too many grindy tasks. The server uses Paper and Purpur, which means it's smooth and has some neat features like custom world generation and light cosmetic tweaks.
One of the coolest parts is the towns and nations setup. Players can build their own stories and create awesome places with light roleplay. The world is big, like 10,000 by 10,000 blocks, so there's lots of room to explore. The End is open now but there's still plenty to do, like expanding nations, decorating, and working on lore.
The community is super friendly with around 10 active players every day from all over the world. They just upgraded the server too, so everything runs even better now with more RAM and vCPU power. If you like a laid-back vibe and want to be part of something cool, this server might be worth checking out.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
