I found a semi anarchy survival server called CaveMC and the whole overworld is underground. There is no surface at all so you live in caves forever and still get biomes resources and structures.
It feels like enhanced vanilla and it is meant to be brutal. You have to be smart to survive and get ahead.
Season 2 is out with a fresh start and new additions. They are also opening a new place called the Wasteland Dimension with its own gear to fight for big mega structures with secrets and a unique currency for a player driven economy. There is also a new spawn and a custom generated map for that dimension.

Chill multiplayer serverfresh map energyLight plugins serverPlayer Interaction Focuspvp enabled survival
I found Goober SMP and it is a brand new Vanilla plus Java server. It started just a few days ago and it already has around 20 active players so it feels alive.
The server is mostly vanilla but it adds small stuff to make multiplayer more fun. PvP is allowed and people are into building and hanging out so you can fight or make cool projects.
It runs on Java 1.21.11 and it has whitelist on so you need to get added before you can play. It also supports SVC mods and has a head drop plugin so players can drop their heads.
They want a player driven world with towns and community builds. Server wide events are planned too so sometimes it can get chaotic.

I found a brand new crossplay SMP that just started and it has a lifesteal twist. It is made to feel close to vanilla with only minimal plugins.
The player count is low right now since it is fresh which makes it a good time to join early and try to rise above everyone.
There are very few rules so it feels more free like how a lot of people want an SMP to be.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMoshPit SMP No Claims PvP Economy

I found MoshPit SMP and it feels like survival with a vanilla vibe but with more action. It is made to be fun without turning into a total mess and the owner is still working on it and changing things based on what players want.
There are no land claims so you can build anywhere and raid anywhere. It supports both Java and Bedrock players so friends can join even if they are on different editions.
The server has an economy with player shops and an auction house. There are duels too if you want to try to make quick cash. It also has custom enchants that are meant to stay balanced like 3×3 drills and lifesteal.
The terrain is custom but it still looks like it belongs in normal Minecraft. PvE gets harder the farther out you go and there are random world events every 30 minutes that can help or hurt or just be weird. It was tested on low end PCs so it should run fine for most people.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCave Only Semi Anarchy Survival Season 2

CaveMC is a semi anarchy survival server with an enhanced vanilla feel. The big twist is the entire overworld is underground. There is no surface at all so you live in caves forever.
The world uses custom generation made by real Minecraft developers. You can still find biomes resources and structures but everything is under the ground. Survival is meant to be brutal so you have to be smart to last.
Season 2 is out with a fresh start and new additions. A big new feature is the Wasteland Dimension opening on November 8th. It has new gear to fight for huge mega structures with secrets and its own currency for a player driven economy and trading. There is also a new spawn and a custom generated map with special features.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAlways On Lifesteal Semi Anarchy

I found a Java 1.21.11 server that is mostly vanilla with a semi anarchy vibe and a lifesteal setup. It feels simple and it is made for people who like PvP and taking risks.
The server is usually up all day and if it says sleeping it starts back up in like 30 to 60 seconds when you try to join.
It also lets cracked players join and it uses SkinRestorer so your skin still shows.
