Vanillacraft is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to feel like normal Minecraft but with other people around. It does not have a ton of plugins getting in the way so it feels pretty close to regular survival.
There is no economy plugin and no GUI shop. Instead players make their own shops and trade with each other so the whole item economy is run by the community. There is a market area and also a community spawn with farms and other useful stuff that people share.
You cannot just teleport everywhere. Players travel using the nether roof or with elytra so exploring and building roads and tunnels actually matters. There are also no land claim plugins so you can build where you want.
Griefing is handled by an active staff team and the Coreprotect plugin so they can roll back damage. The community is described as very friendly and welcoming and the server has a loyal playerbase so you usually see the same people online a lot.
The server just started a new season after resetting the old world so everyone is pretty fresh and starting again. There are no pay to win ranks and they do not even have a server store so progress is based on playing and trading not on spending money.
