This server is trying to be a simple vanilla plus world where players actually matter. It is not about pay to win or speedrunning everything.
From what I see the owners just want a calm survival place with only quality of life plugins. Stuff that makes the game smoother but still feels like normal Minecraft.
The community seems to be the main focus. Players get to share ideas and help shape how the server grows. It feels like they want a long lasting world where you and your friends can settle down and build.
If you want a fair survival server with friendly people and no pay to win nonsense this looks like a good place to try.

Kronos SMP Earth Nations War

Kronos SMP is a full earth server on a 1 to 500 scale and the world is totally fresh. There are no old empires or stacked nations or ruined land. Everyone starts together in an empty world.
You pick a real place on the map. You claim it. You defend it. Or you try to take land from other players. It feels like a mix of survival and strategy and pvp at the same time.
The server is about turning small groups into nations. People care about geopolitics more than grinding. There is diplomacy alliances wars and a lot of backstabbing. Power comes from your land and your people not from kits.
Wars actually change borders. Territory can switch hands so nothing is just cosmetic. The economy is player run and admins do not play favorites and there is no pay to win.
This server is for players who like planning more than just casual play. It is for people who enjoy maps and world drama and leading or scheming or going to war at 3am. If you just want a chill smp this is probably not for you.
It runs on Java Edition and version 1.20.1 and the host is very strong so lots of players can be on without lag. When the map opens it is every person for themselves.

Anarchy Network Semi Vanilla Chaos

I found this server called Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy world that tries to feel like normal vanilla Minecraft but with barely any rules.
The server started on October 11th 2024 and it runs all the time. You can join with almost any Java version from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.10 but they say 1.21.10 is best so you do not have issues.
The world is huge with a border at 2 million blocks so people can go really far out. There are no map resets and no teleporting at all and no pay to win stuff. Griefing and PvP are totally allowed so you always have to watch your back.
The only extra command they let you use is spawn so people who went really far away are not stuck alone forever. Nether roof travel is allowed and phantoms are turned off and only half the online players are needed to skip the night which makes survival less annoying.
They do have some rules. You cannot use exploits or lag machines or duping. You also cannot spam chat or use harassment or racial slurs. So it is still a wild server but they try to keep it from getting totally ruined.
Overall it feels like a raw survival world where the players control almost everything and the staff only step in when someone is breaking the game or being super toxic.

I found this server called Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy world that feels really close to vanilla. It started on October 11th 2024 and it runs all the time so you can join whenever.
The server lets you play pure survival with almost no rules. Griefing is allowed and pvp is allowed so you always have to watch your back. There are no map resets so whatever you build can stay there as long as the world exists.
You can join on Java from version 1.7.2 up to 1.21.10 but they say that 1.21.10 is the best so things do not break. The world border is huge at two million blocks so there is a lot of land to explore and hide in.
There are almost no commands. There is no teleporting and no pay to win shop. The only non vanilla thing you can do is use spawn so people that went really far out do not get stuck alone forever. They also let you use the nether roof and they removed phantoms and only half the players need to sleep to skip night.

This server is called LegacyMC and it is a raw vanilla anarchy world. When I joined it felt like pure survival with no rules and no help at all. There are no land claims and no teleport commands and no special plugins changing the game.
The world started in June 2025 so it is still pretty fresh but already people are trying to make their own legacy. You can build a secret base far away or stay near spawn and fight everyone. PvP is always on and griefing and raiding are allowed so nothing is really safe.
There are no ranks and no pay to win stuff. The owner said the server is paid for and they never ask for donations. There is no admin interference in the world so what happens is all from the players. If you build something or blow something up it stays that way.
The server runs on dedicated hardware in Australia so it is meant for players in Australia and New Zealand who want low ping. Anyone can join because there is no whitelist and there are no applications or queues. You just log in and try to survive.
LegacyMC is for people who like freedom and want a world that does not reset. It feels like a classic survival server where every action matters and you have to deal with the chaos created by other players.
