Pine SMP is a Java only survival server where vanilla style play meets Lifesteal and PvP is actually part of the daily vibe. The server started recently so it is not just a world full of stacked players already.
It uses helpful plugins like RTP and TPA plus sethome and an anti combat log system. People are down to fight but they also like to talk and team up.
The owner and mods are active and not super serious. They want everyone to have fun and they plan events like PvP stuff and parkour. New players are joining and building bases and getting geared so it feels alive right now.

I found Goober SMP and it is a new Vanilla+ survival server that just started so the world is still fresh. It already has a small active group and it feels like it wants a chill community with lots of player interaction.
The gameplay stays mostly vanilla but it adds a few extra things to make multiplayer more fun. PvP is allowed so you can fight if you want but it also pushes building and community projects like towns.
It runs on Java 1.21.11 and it has whitelist on. There is also SVC mod support plus a head drop feature where players can drop their heads. Server wide events are planned too so sometimes it might get chaotic.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
