I found MCBloodlines and it is a brand new hardcore SMP that is invite only. It is built to make people play in groups and slowly build up real civilizations over time.
The cool part is only players who are already invited can invite new people. It makes the community grow in a more natural way and it helps keep random trolls out.
There are also secret tweaks and mechanics that you are not given guides for. Players have to figure stuff out on their own which makes paying attention actually matter.
It also has a clan and family system so you do not just spawn alone in a hardcore world. You join because someone invited you so you start as part of a group and a story that keeps going.

Straight Up is a vanilla survival SMP that tries to feel like real Minecraft. It is a forever world idea and the overworld has not been wiped since April 1st 2019. The point is to build stuff that stays and make history over time.
There are no teleport commands like tpa or home. There are no land claims and no protected zones. PvP and griefing are allowed so you have to stay aware and travel smart.
They also run proximity voice chat support using Simple Voice Chat if you want it and you install the mod. The server is tuned for stable performance and has an anticheat that is meant to be unintrusive and stop exploits.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
