I found a Vanilla Java SMP that is starting Season 2 on a fresh world but it is inside an already established server. It feels like a place where your builds are supposed to last and not get wiped out fast.
When you join you spawn in a central hub and you can pick where you want to play. There is the brand new Season 2 world. There is also a Season 1 world that has over 2300 in game days and it is already built up. There is also a creative superflat world for testing and planning.
The server runs on 1.21.11 Java using PaperMC and it is online 24 7. It is whitelisted and you have to join the Discord and apply to get in. They say it keeps out griefers and protects long term builds. It is meant to feel like pure vanilla with only light quality of life and protection plugins and no mods or gameplay changes.
The community is small and chill and focused on building. It sounds best for people who want towns cities castles mega bases terraforming and big community projects for the long run.

TierRiseMC is a progression survival server where every step actually matters. You start as a new survivor and slowly rank up as you play. As you rank up you unlock more abilities more perks and bigger claim upgrades so your base can grow with you.
The server uses mcMMO so every action you do helps level your skills. The more you play the stronger your character becomes. There are also custom enchantments that go beyond normal Minecraft so combat and tools feel different with new mechanics and playstyles.
There is a full rankup system that gives real perks like more claim blocks access to new areas better rewards and boosts to the economy. You earn money through jobs mining farming and combat so you always have something to grind.
You can vote for the server to get crate keys random money special items and progression boosts. There are mob arenas and wave based challenges where you fight tough mobs for high risk and high reward payouts.
Land claims are done with GriefPrevention so your builds and progress are safe. As you rank up you get more claim space so you can keep expanding. The server runs on Paper 1.21 and uses plugins like EssentialsX holograms and shops plus a bunch of small survival tweaks to keep everything smooth and fun.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
