I found Olympus SMP and it is a survival server that keeps the classic vanilla feel while still having some unique mods like Stellarity that makes exploring more interesting.
The server has a growing active player base and the vibe seems friendly. Staff is around and they aim for fair gameplay so it does not feel scummy.
People build big bases run a player driven economy and go on adventures together. They also do community events and challenges so there is usually something going on.
It supports both cracked and premium players so more people can join in.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOverCraft Semi Vanilla SMP With Progression
OverCraft is a small new SMP server that feels close to vanilla but with extra stuff to keep you busy.
It has land claims so you can protect your builds and your items and feel safe while you play.
I also saw custom items and extra enchants plus tools and armour and abilities. There are crates too and skills and minions and jobs and more.
This server has a lot of content and some of it takes grinding which is good if you like working for your upgrades and seeing it pay off.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGlowSMP Vanilla Plus With Claims
GlowSMP is a Vanilla plus SMP that just launched and it runs on 1.21 through 1.21.10 for both Java and Bedrock. It feels like a place to build grind or just chill with other players.
Claims are on so you do not have to stress about griefing. There are a bunch of quality of life changes like voice chat and messages better harvesting chest sorting a gradient tool graves and a live map.
Fishing is a big thing here because there are lots of new fish and you can sell them for money plus there is a leaderboard for the best fisherman. There are also 11 special enchantment books for building and gathering like breaking a whole tree at once or getting haste for mining.
The jobs system pays you for most actions and you do not have to pick only a few jobs since you are in every job at the same time. There is also a centralized storage network where you can set up a terminal in your base and link chests so you can search and store items way easier.
The server is free to play and everything is meant to be obtainable by everyone. There are vote ranks and there is a shop if you want to skip some hassle but it is not required.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
