I found a server called V+ SMP and it is like vanilla but expanded so it still feels normal to play. You can join with a normal Minecraft install so it stays simple.
It has improved vanilla style features and a bunch of quality of life changes. The main vibe is geo political towns and nations where people can team up and do diplomacy and stuff.
V+ Vanilla SMP Starts Soon

I found a geopolitical roleplay server called EarthPol that uses a 1 to 326 Earth map. Players make nations and do politics and diplomacy with other groups.
There is a nation based on Louisiana and they are trying to grow it. They are building a New Orleans style town with ports and more builds.
They want more players to help found new towns in Louisiana and they can fund it with gold. It sounds like a server for people who like roleplay and building and also arguing in politics.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAvalonEarth Towny Geopol EarthSMP Wars
AvalonEarth is a geopol EarthSMP server where players make towns and nations on a 1:500 Earth map. It supports both Java and Bedrock so more friends can play together.
The server uses Towny for claiming and running towns. You get starter money so you can create a nation right away without grinding first.
There is a lot of conflict and wars if you want that kind of gameplay. If you do not like fighting you can stay peaceful and mostly avoid it.
Making money is mainly done through jobs plus farming and fishing. The server had a first season that built a strong community and season two is already active with lots of new players joining.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWar Mechanics Are Live on Halcyon
Halcyon is a Lands PvP server with a medieval vibe and it is built to feel like old school survival while still running on vanilla Minecraft 1.21.11. It is based in Australia and it has players from Europe the Americas and Asia and you will usually see around 10 to 30 people online.
The world is handmade and the server tries to make the game harder and slower so you do not just rush the meta. It pushes creativity teamwork and special roles. Winning is more about brave fights smart deals big builds and getting other players to follow you.
Travel matters a lot because there is no teleporting. People end up making roads waystations and even hidden rail lines underground. Some crops and saplings only grow in certain biomes so trade becomes important and different areas start to feel unique.
You do not have to follow strict lore. You can just play normally and let stories happen as more players get involved. Night cannot be skipped and health only comes back slowly and only in certain situations so you have to plan ahead.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAvalonEarth Earth SMP Nations And War
AvalonEarth is an Earth SMP style server with geopol vibes where players make nations and deal with diplomacy and fights. It supports Java and Bedrock so more people can play together.
The world is an Earth map at 1 to 500 scale so there is a ton of space to claim land and build. It uses Towny for towns and nations.
It feels welcoming because you get starter money and anyone can start a nation right away. There are wars and conflict if you want that but you can also stay peaceful and mostly avoid it.

FabricCraft is a survival server that sticks to real vanilla mechanics by running on Fabric. It is semi anarchy so you get a lot of freedom but there are still a few rules to keep things from being totally miserable.
There are no land claims and there are no world resets so the world stays the same and players decide what happens. People team up and trade then some people fight and raid and start rivalries. It feels player driven all the time.
Hacked clients and any mods that give an advantage are not allowed. Griefing is banned within 1k of spawn and it is handled by active moderation instead of claim plugins.
There is also a creative world with no plots and no big limits so players can test builds before using them in survival. If you like speedrunning there is a manhunt gamemode too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Fantasy SMP With Dragons And War
Bluest Network is a modded fantasy Minecraft server that just went public. It is more than a normal SMP and it feels like a spot to chill and meet new people.
The world is built around adventure with dragons and magic. Players can make their own nations then fight wars and plan conquests or team up with alliances.
If you like roleplay or you want to build a strong nation this server fits that. You can also just relax and play with other people.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMinemist SMP Geopolitics And Enchantment Wars
I found Minemist and it feels like survival got turned into a civilization simulation. You make towns and then you try to turn them into nations. People can declare war and if they win they can occupy your town or steal your money.
The wild part is everyone is always visible in the overworld so hiding is not really a thing. It turns into a big politics game where you have to negotiate manipulate or conquer if you want control.
Enchantments are also a huge deal because you pick a culture and that choice controls what enchantments you can access. You cannot have everything so players end up arguing and making deals over gear.
Progression is slower too. Villagers are not handing out easy enchanted books. You have to craft enchantments use the enchanting table or loot the world and rare materials matter. It is based in Sydney Australia so it is built for low ping hits especially for Oceania players.
They say wars do not mean your builds get griefed into dust and rollbacks exist for major grief. So you can build something cool and still have something to fight over.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Westeros SMP Political Roleplay
WesterCraft is a modded Java SMP that feels like a Game of Thrones style roleplay world. The big wars are over but the realm is not united so players jump into politics and power plays.
People can lead their own House and try to grow influence stability and royal favor. It sounds like power is earned and you can win by smart deals or by making enemies.
The map is a hand crafted Westeros world with places like the Riverlands the North and Dorne. The server is whitelist only so they want quality players and an immersive community.
They are also recruiting builders lore writers and moderators or event staff to help shape the world and the drama.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAvalonEarth EarthSMP Towny War Nations
AvalonEarth is an EarthSMP geopolitics server where players make nations and fight over land on a 1 to 500 scale map so there is lots of space to spread out.
It runs with Towny so claiming land and building nations is a big part of the server. New players get starter money so anyone can start a nation right away without grinding first.
Wars and conflict happen a lot here if you want that. If you do not like fighting you can play peaceful and try to stay out of it.
Money mainly comes from jobs plus farming and fishing and they said more ways are being added later. The server has had seasons and the current season has been bringing in a lot of new players.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
