I found a semi vanilla survival SMP that is all about community and building without getting griefed.
The server has a diamond based economy so players trade with diamonds and run their own shops. There is also a shops menu so you can browse stores fast or make your own.
You can protect your land with claiming using golden shovels. It also supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so more friends can join.
There is a live world map you can check in a browser and separate resource worlds so the main world stays nice. They also do weekly events and you can get ranks and vote rewards just by playing. It is true survival with PvE focus and no keep inventory.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSession Nations With Lore And Trading
Rai Nations is a session based nations server that runs on Wednesdays Friday Saturday and Sunday. It feels good for people who do not want to log in every day and still want to keep up.
The server is mainly about nations and how they deal with each other and also how players act one on one. Diplomacy matters a lot and war is supposed to be rare and a big deal instead of nonstop griefing.
There is a merchants village where you trade credits for lots of stuff like enchants and building blocks. Sometimes events happen there too so it becomes a busy place during sessions.
The world also has lore and mystery with unknown entities called the Unknown fragments. They can mess with sessions in different ways like combat jump scares and strange deals so you never really know what will happen.
The community aims to be player first and chill. Builds are meant to be protected so offline raiding is not the normal way things go. People explore old ruins and add to the world story together and there are usually other players around to talk or trade with.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMineRealm Classic SMP Semi Vanilla Survival
