Corbat SMP is a survival server where the game feels like normal Minecraft again. It skips the crazy custom enchantments and it does not have overpowered modded gear. It is meant to stay clean and balanced so fights and progress feel fair.
It has a jobs system so you can earn money by doing stuff you already do. Mining farming woodcutting hunting and fishing all help you make cash while you play.
The economy is run by players. You can buy and sell with other people and set up player shops. Supply and demand matters so your grind actually has value.
There are factions too. You can claim land build a stronghold make alliances and start wars. It sounds like a place for long term survival with balanced PvP and an active community with no pay to win.

Perils in Paradise is a semi vanilla survival server with a lore based vibe and it is built to be fun for streaming.
The big twist is a five lives system. You only lose lives from PVP so random mobs do not end your run. When your PVP lives are gone you are out.
The server keeps mods minimal so it should run fine on most computers. The main mod is proximity chat so you can get surprise moments and spooky meetings that make great clips.
They really push content creation and the community has people who can help with social media. If you are not a creator you can still apply since they want new players too. They also say the server is not pay to win.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Whitelisted Survival With Resource World
Farmlands is a cozy survival server with a small community feel. It is whitelisted so you apply first and then you can join.
The vibe is slow and relaxed. People take their time on long term builds farms and big projects and the main world is meant to last so your work keeps meaning.
There are separate worlds. The main world is for bases and player builds and there is a resource world that resets regularly so gathering materials does not mess up your home.
Rules are strict about no griefing no stealing and no toxicity. It stays close to vanilla with a few quality of life features plus a custom advancement pack for extra challenges.
The economy is player driven. You can trade with others or run your own shop and there are no ranks and no pay to win stuff.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDrakona Nations Survival Economy Beta
Drakona is a survival server where people build towns and start nations. It feels more community first and it is made for players who like trading and slowly growing a place with friends.
The world has custom terrain with big landscapes and deep cave systems so exploring and picking a town spot is fun. You can keep things peaceful or add risk since PvP is off in towns by default but you can turn it on if you want.
The economy is a big part of it. You can make money with jobs then trade in the Auction House or sell items with a sell menu. Player run shops are planned and the server says it is not pay to win.
There is also a skills system where you level up by playing normally and specialize over time. The server is still in beta but it is playable and they are improving it using feedback.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMineRealm SMP Classic Semi-Vanilla Survival
MineRealm is a really old survival server that has been running since 2010 and a ton of players have joined it over the years. When I joined it felt like a classic SMP world that just kept going instead of resetting all the time.
The world is smaller and it slowly expands so new land generates in the newest version. Builds are protected with their own protection system and with CoreProtect so griefing is not really a thing here. Your stuff is meant to stay safe and not just vanish in a reset.
The server stays very close to vanilla but there are some custom plugins that add a few unique features and help the community play together better. Almost everything you see is built by players and not some giant prefab hub that was spawned in.
There is no pay to win and no spawned items so all progress is done by actually playing survival. The server has a lot of public infrastructure that players made over time so it is easy to get started and then work on your own long term projects.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrabCraft Season VI Vanilla SMP
CrabCraft is a simple vanilla style SMP that tries to keep Minecraft fair and fun. It is inspired by HermitCraft so the whole idea is to play survival with other people without a bunch of crazy plugins changing the game.
The server uses light quality of life stuff that makes things smoother but does not change how the game is meant to be played. There are no ranks and no paid perks at all so everyone is on the same level. They also use proximity voice chat so you can talk to people who are near you in game.
The community is active and respectful and they seem to care a lot about that. Last season over 150 players joined and together they played more than seven thousand hours. The server does automatic backups and has per chunk rollback so if something really bad happens they can fix it.
To join you have to go to their Discord and fill out a short application and then they will reply and help you get started.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Custom SMP Survival
EchelonMC is a custom survival SMP that feels different from most servers I see. The owners use their own code and not a copy paste plugin pack so everything fits together really well.
The server is survival but it has extra systems that are made to help long term play. As you walk around you can make paths and get speed when you use them. There is a currency you earn just by playing and you spend it on progression and useful stuff.
Land claiming is a big focus. Claims have visual borders and per chunk settings and a bunch of anti grief tools. You can control mobs TNT fire spread raids and even fluids so builds stay safe.
There are public chunks where you can publish your builds for other players to visit. You can earn from visitors and try to climb the rankings. You can also make teams invite your friends and use team utilities while showing off team nametags.
When you die a grave appears with your items for a limited time. You also get access to back so you can return after teleports and not lose everything.
The server has voting with rewards a spawn hub with custom NPCs and utilities and Discord chat linking plus anti x ray protections. The staff update it often and they listen to player feedback.
It runs on version 1.21.11 as recommended and older versions are also supported. The server is non pay to win and built to evolve with the community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHollowSMP Survival Plus With Optional PvP
HollowSMP is a Survival plus server that feels like a chill long term world. It runs on Java 1.21.10 and it also lets Bedrock players join so more friends can play together.
The gameplay is mostly normal survival with some quality of life stuff added. The spawn area is protected and it can heal and feed you so new players are safe when they join. There is anti grief and anti cheat and good moderation tools so people can build without worrying about getting messed with.
The server has built in proximity voice chat so you can actually talk to people who are near you in game. It makes exploring and building with others feel way more like a real hangout.
The End is open now and the end cities are still fresh and not all looted so there is a lot to explore for new players.
PvP is not the main focus but there is a special dragon egg system. If you hold the dragon egg it turns PvP on for you and gives you buffs and everyone can see you. If you die the egg moves to whoever killed you. This makes natural PvP moments for people who want it but you can mostly avoid it if you just want a calm SMP.
Overall it is a chill active community that likes building exploring and sometimes fighting on their own terms.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
