I found this server called OrianaMC and it is made for people who really like normal Minecraft survival. It runs on version 1.21.11 and it keeps the game close to vanilla but still has some plugins to make things more fun and last longer.
The main world is survival and you can claim your land so your builds stay safe. That makes it feel secure and you do not have to worry about random people breaking your stuff.
The economy is all about the players. You make money and you spend it with other players and trade with them. The only thing you buy that is not from players is in game ranks. There is also an auction house so you can sell rare items to everyone.
There are custom items like extra tools and armor so it feels a bit fresh but it still keeps the normal survival feeling. It does not feel super modded or confusing.
The server really cares about its community. They want no rude players no sudden resets and no annoying lag. It feels like they are trying to make a peaceful place where players can just play survival and hang out for a long time.
