This is a semi vanilla server that keeps the normal Minecraft feel but still has a little twist.
It is crossplay so more people can join together and it says the community is friendly so it should be a nice place to play.

This is a simple survival server you can join without needing to get whitelisted all the time.

There is also a temporary dyn address that may stop working after the server gets shut down.

I found this semi vanilla SMP where the main idea is community and building while still feeling like real survival.
It has a diamond based economy so people trade with diamonds and set up player shops. There is also a shops menu so you can browse stores fast or make your own.
You can protect your builds with land claiming using golden shovels. The server is PvE focused with no griefing and there is no keep inventory.
It supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so more friends can join. There is a live world map you can check in your browser and separate resource worlds so the main world stays clean.
They run weekly events and have ranks plus vote rewards that give you perks just for playing.

I found a server called MinecraftOffline that runs on version 1.21.11 and it is made for people who want a world that sticks around.
The map is permanent so it is not getting wiped all the time. It also uses a custom plugin suite so it is not just plain vanilla.
It is based in Finland so it should feel good for players in Europe. The server also says it runs on reasonable hardware and that helps keep things stable.

I found NisseSMP and it is a HermitCraft inspired survival server with a vanilla plus feel. It supports both Java and Bedrock crossplay so more people can play together.

There are no land claims so you are expected to respect other players builds. The server also has a player driven economy with shops trading and virtual currency.
It is open access with no whitelist. They also have a live map and the community looks active with around 40 to 60 players online at peak times.
