I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now
The server is not fully started yet and it looks like the real start is planned for about a week
It sounds like a chill survival place meant for a smaller group so you can get in early and be there when it begins
I found a vanilla server called Slug SMP and it is basically anarchy vibes.
There are no rules so people can do whatever and you just join and see what happens.

You load in and it stays simple. There is no fancy spawn and no long rule book to read. Players are expected to handle their own social problems.

I found a brand new empty vanilla server where nothing is built yet. It feels like a fresh world that is waiting for the first big bases and the first stories.
People are basically asking for players to jump in early and help make history. You can play how you like and play when you like so it seems pretty relaxed.
Since it is new there is not much to explain yet. It is more about joining at the start and seeing what the community turns it into.
UneasyVanilla is a European vanilla survival server with a rough semi anarchy feel and a world that has been running since 2020 with no resets. You can tell it has history because there are ruins highways and old bases all over the place.
The server keeps things simple with minimal intervention. There is no land protection and no teleports and no economy systems. Griefing and PvP are allowed so you have to watch your back.
Hacked clients and exploits are not allowed. Spawn is completely destroyed so new players get thrown into the chaos fast. It runs on version 1.21.11.
Bleeding Heart SMP is a hardcore survival server where death actually matters but it still turns into stories instead of everyone quitting. It is not pay to win and it is not scripted so most stuff happens because players make it happen.
When someone dies their player head drops. Friends can grab it and build a Revival Shrine to bring them back. But enemies can keep that head locked up so the players end up deciding who stays dead. That leads to trading bluffing betrayals and sometimes straight up assassinations.
The world is huge with a 30 million by 30 million border and it is a no reset world so joining early is a big deal. The Farlands are enabled too and you can actually walk to them if you go far enough.
Crystal PvP is banned and there is only one mace on the whole server so whoever has it is going to be a big deal. It runs on Java 1.21.11 using Fabric.
Onion SMP is a survival server that is growing fast. It feels made for chill players and also people who grind a lot.
It has claims so you can protect your builds. There are fair duels if you want to test your skill. Keep inventory is on so PvP does not feel so painful.

You can use RTP to find fresh land. You can team up with friends using teams and just build your own story.

It is meant to be friendly and welcoming so anyone can jump in and try to leave their mark.
I found a hardcore social experiment server on Java 1.21.1 where you only get one life. If you die then you are done so everyone has to play smart.
There are two islands and they feel really different. Winter is a brutal wasteland but it has rare minerals. Summer is more fertile and easier to live in but it can get crowded fast.
The server uses one global economy so what happens on one island can affect the other. Simple Voice Chat is required so you have to talk in game and deal with people for real.
A lot of spots are already taken and players apply to join. The whole vibe is surviving with others while the islands compete and the choices actually matter.
