SoloraMC is a fresh survival SMP that is about to release. It is built to keep you busy with quests and story quests plus jobs and crates.
I saw custom terrain along with custom mobs and items so exploring should feel different. There are skills you can level up like a MCMMO style system so you can farm and improve your character over time.
It also has land claim so you can protect your builds. The vibe is up to you since you can stay a nomad play with friends or make a clan then start wars with other teams.
It supports Minecraft 1.21.10 to 1.21.11.
Fresh Survival SMP With Quests And Wars

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Big Update Drops Tomorrow

I found EchelonMC and it is a fully custom survival SMP that has been built from scratch. The server is hosted in Canada and it has been in active development for under two months. Minecraft Java 1.21.11 is recommended but older versions are supported.
The whole vibe is long term building and real progression with a strong community. It is not pay to win and they say there are no resets planned. It also is not one of those servers that just throws a big plugin pack at you.
There is a currency called Echelites that you earn by playing like mining farming fishing exploring and building. You can spend it on progression and quality of life stuff.
Protection is a big deal here with advanced land claiming. You get visual borders and a lot of settings like TNT and creeper control fire spread protection raid prevention and more. There are teams too so you can invite friends share access and use private team chat.
There is also auto pathing with speed bonuses that you can toggle. You can list public builds so other players can visit and vote. Graves help protect your items with a timed recovery system. The server keeps getting updates and they say they already added over 100 player suggestions.
