I found a small survival server that just started Season 3 and the world is still really fresh. It is meant for people who actually like normal Minecraft and want to stick around long term.
It runs on Minecraft Java 1.21.11 and it keeps a vanilla style feel with only a few quality of life changes. One custom thing they added is player heights so you can pick how tall your character is.
The vibe is calm and friendly. PvP only happens if both people agree and griefing or stealing is not allowed. There is also optional proximity voice chat if you want to talk while playing.
They are looking for mature players 17 plus who want to build up the world over time with bases roads towns and projects.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGoblinSMP Semi Anarchy Vanilla Survival 1.21.11
GoblinSMP is a semi anarchy survival server on Minecraft 1.21.11 that tries to keep things simple and player driven.
It has minimal rules and there are no claims or protection systems. Most stuff is just up to the players so it can get unpredictable.
The server stays more connected because the world border is 200000 by 200000. You end up running into people more often which leads to random teamwork or fights.
The map expands over time so there is new land later but the early game stays intense.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermit Style SMP With Proximity Chat
This is a community centered SMP that feels a lot like Hermit style play. It is made by the players for the players and the server tries to keep that vanilla feeling.
There is a diamond based economy with a shopping district. People also work on public builds and bigger projects together and a lot of players use proximity chat.
You can use homes and there are some cosmetic and quality of life and fun plugins too. New stuff gets added from community requests and polls.
It is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. You will usually see about 5 to 20 people online during the day and there are lots of regular active players and groups looking for more members.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAdult Only SMP With A 4 Year Map
HomesteadCraft is a Java survival server for adults only 21 plus. It is made to be chill with no drama and no kids. The main world has been running for about 4 years and it does not reset. It only expands when updates happen so people can build huge projects over time.
