Malgazar is a semi vanilla SMP that feels chill and welcoming. It is built for players who just want to relax build stuff and meet new friends.
The rules are simple with no stealing and no griefing so your builds can stay safe. It uses small plugins to improve the experience without changing the main survival feel.
There is a new ranking system that makes stuff like mining pvp fishing woodcutting and farming feel more engaging. The End also got expanded by thousands of blocks so there is more room to explore and grab an elytra.

I found a survival server called MinecraftOffline that runs on version 1.21.11 and it is based in Finland so it should feel smooth for European players.
The big thing is the world is permanent and they say there are no resets so your builds can stay for the long run.
It also uses custom written plugins to make gameplay feel different and more unique than the usual survival experience. The server also talks about having reasonable hardware so it should run steady.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRainbow Unity SMP Rank Up Survival
