Silver Cove MC is a semi vanilla survival server that is built to stay fun past the usual two week hype. It is cross platform and runs on Paper for 1.21.5 and it also lets you join on any higher version.
It uses plugins but it tries to keep the real Minecraft feeling. The changes are more like quality of life stuff so playing feels smoother without turning into something totally different.
What stands out is how the server listens to players. The staff asks the community what should be added and they try to bring in new content regularly based on those suggestions.
It also focuses on being fair. It says it will never go pay to win and ranks are earned for free through effort. There is a store if you want to support but it is optional.
They also run custom events often so people have something to do together and not get bored.
