HomesteadCraft is a Java SMP for adults only and it is 21 plus. The world has been running for about 4 years and it does not reset so people can go really big on builds and long projects.
It is a small chill community with normal difficulty and a no drama vibe. There is no required playtime and most of the quality of life stuff can be toggled off if you like a more vanilla feel.
The server runs on Java 1.21.11 with a few QOL plugins. It has one player sleep plus skills and loot tweaks plus anti grief claims. There is a player run shopping district and a gaming island.
There are separate resource worlds for the overworld and nether and the End. The End resource world resets every week.

They said the real start is in about a week so it feels like a good time to get in early and see how it goes
It is meant to stay close to vanilla and it sounds like a chill small server vibe

LadyKriSMP is a semi vanilla SMP with a fantasy and cottagecore vibe. The world is still new so it feels like a fresh start and you can help shape what it becomes.
It is 15+ and the main rule is to be respectful to other members. PVP is not a thing unless everyone involved agrees to it so most of the time it is just chill survival.
The server supports Java and Bedrock and it also allows cracked players. It uses vanilla plus mods that are there to protect houses so stuff does not get stolen or ruined.
It is usually a small server and it is meant to feel comfy for you and your friends as long as you follow the rules and keep the community stable. Anyone can start the server themselves so people can play across timezones.

I found a simple whitelisted vanilla server that stays on the latest Bedrock version. It is made for people who just want to play Minecraft the normal way with other players.
There are no mods and no fancy spawn. It feels friendly and focused on survival and hanging out.
If you want in you have to do a quick application on their Discord before you can join.

Shobies SMP is a Java SMP that is meant to feel alive but still chill. It keeps the vanilla feeling so it does not feel like a totally different game.
I noticed it has custom mobs and custom items. It sounds like extra stuff to find and fight but without changing the whole vibe.
They just started Season 2 so it is a good time to jump in. Rules are shared in their Discord and you need to get whitelisted to play.

I found a small and growing Cobblemon server that feels like a chill friend group that just wants to play together.
They say they are not toxic and they are trying to keep things friendly.
The big thing here is a point system. If you hit 360 points you can make your own custom gym.

I found a Java server running modded Cobblemon on 1.21.1 and it is built around the whole pokemon kind of vibe.
It sounds like a good place to meet new people and make friends since they say everyone is welcome.
The only hard rule they call out is you must be 18+ to play. They also want you to join their Discord to learn how to join the server.

I found Summitcores Craft and it is a simple whitelisted vanilla server on the latest Bedrock version.
