I found a small scale vanilla survival server that keeps it simple. It is for people who want Minecraft without a bunch of crazy mods.
The chat is not supposed to be full of constant spam and the rules are simple. The staff is said to not be abusive and redstone usage is not restricted.
The server is in the EU region. It runs on version 1.21.11 with Hard difficulty and a view distance of 10.
Forseti Hard Vanilla Anarchy Survival
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBrutal Geopolitics Survival Where Nations Clash
I found a survival server that goes hard on world building and geopolitics. Players make nations and the whole world is about diplomacy war economy and just staying alive.
It runs on 1.21.11 and it lets people join on different versions with ViaBackward. The world starts at 5000 by 5000 and it can expand when more players show up.
Travel is a big deal because there are no elytras. There are also no villagers so you cannot just trade forever. Crafting is tougher with custom recipes and netherite is 1 to 1 so it is not free.
Claims and borders are handled with a lands system so nations can hold territory. Roads and rails matter too since you move faster on proper roads and minecarts go way faster on powered rails.
There is a grindstone rework that lets you pull enchantments off and turn them into books. Farming and fishing are reworked so food and loot take more planning. You can also silk touch spawners and move them which changes defense and farming a lot.
The rarest thing is the mace since only ten exist on the whole server and each player can only craft one. Enchantments on it are restricted so it stays balanced and feels like a real legendary item.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSTINKY SMP CLAN ANARCHY TAKEOVER
I found this SMP that is all about anarchy and clans. It feels like the whole point is to fight for power and try to build the strongest clan.
People can team up and rise up together. If you like chaos and clan drama this server is going for that vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTrue Vanilla Fabric Semi Anarchy Survival
FabricCraft is a survival server that stays close to real vanilla mechanics because it runs on Fabric. It is made for people who want farms and redstone to work the way they expect.
The main world is semi anarchy. There are barely any rules so players can do their own thing. There are no land claims and there are no world resets so the map stays persistent and the story comes from the players with trade alliances rivalries and raids.
They do not allow hacked clients or mods that give you an advantage over other players.
There is also a creative world where you can build with lots of space and no plots. Some players use it to test builds before taking them into survival. If you like speedrunning there is a manhunt gamemode too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRetro Atari Anarchy With Crossplay Chaos
Atari Video Music Anarchy is an anarchy server with a retro vibe and a lot of freedom. It works for Java and Bedrock together using crossplay so more people can jump in.
It has warps so you can move around fast like spawn city futurecity and arena. You can set a home and teleport back anytime but it does not protect your base. There is also tpa tpahere and tpaaccept so players can meet up.
You can open your ender chest anywhere with echest which is super handy when you are roaming. The server is mostly anything goes with only two big rules. No doxxing and do not break the server.

The server started in April 2021 and it has been running for over four and a half years. Thousands of players have joined at least once so the world feels old and used in a cool way.

This server is called Straight Up and it feels like old Minecraft but on a huge long term world. The overworld has never been reset since 2019 so there is a lot of history to find and old bases and stories all over the place.
It is survival with no land claims no /tpa and no /home. There is no currency and no factions or big economy plugins so the game is just normal vanilla survival. PvP is on and griefing is allowed so you have to be careful where you build and who you trust.
They use proximity voice chat if you install the Simple Voice Chat mod so you can talk to people who are near you in game. The server is optimized to run smooth and they have anticheat that tries not to mess with normal players but still stops big exploits.
Overall it is a pretty serious survival server where players shape the world and nothing gets wiped so every build and every fight can stay there for years.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Perch SMP – Cozy No-Reset Survival
The Perch is a survival SMP that feels like a second home. It is made for players who want a calm place to play without drama or toxicity. The owners listen a lot to the community and try to build the server around what players actually want.

Garconia is a Minecraft server that tries to be a real democratic country inside the game. The whole idea is that the players decide how the world works and the rules can change over time.
On this server you can try a bunch of different paths. You can run a business and hire other players. You can track and sell items and handle your own company money. You can also own real shops and try to become rich.
If you like politics you can jump into the government side of things. There is a full political system and players can help make and change the laws. Staff are not allowed to control the politics so the power really goes to the players.
The community is still new so early players get a big chance to shape how everything will look in the future. You could end up being one of the first people in the history of the server.
The server is made with a lot of advanced plugins that try to make the world feel more realistic. People can work together start parties and team up with others who share their ideas. This place is for players who want their own story and want to help build a living society in Minecraft.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAnarchy.AE No-Wipe Vanilla Survival

It runs on Java and Bedrock together so a lot of different players can join. The version is 1.21.11 so it feels pretty up to date.
From what I saw the whole point is to survive as long as you can in a world that is meant to last. People can raid you and you can raid them. You have to hide your base and trust almost nobody.
If you want a server where the world does not reset and there are no rules to protect you this one fits that style.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
