I found a survival server called CaveMC that is semi anarchy and feels like enhanced vanilla. The whole overworld is underground so there is no surface at all. It uses custom world generation made by real Minecraft developers and the caves stretch forever with biomes resources and structures.
The vibe is brutal survival and you really have to be resourceful to make it. Season 2 is a fresh start with a bunch of additions.
There is also a Wasteland Dimension that opens on November 8th. It brings brand new gear to fight over plus huge mega structures with mysteries and valuable stuff. It also has its own unique currency so players can make a new economy and trade. There is a new spawn too and the dimension is a custom generated map with special features.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Item Drops Survival Chaos
This server is really weird because items are not dropping at all. When you break stuff it just vanishes and it makes the game feel super hard.
From what I can see it is running Paper and only has a few plugins. It feels kind of like a test world where the owner is trying to figure out what is wrong.
If you like strange problems and trying to fix them this server is actually kind of interesting. You have to think about every block you break and you might need to help the owner find what is going on.
It is not a normal survival server but more like a challenge where you deal with no item drops and try to survive anyway.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Lab SMP Vanilla Skyblock Season
The Lab is a vanilla style SMP that just started a new season and this time it is all about skyblock. It feels like a pretty pure Minecraft experience because everything is still vanilla but they use a skyblock setup so the whole world is basically the void.
From what I saw they use some tweaks so that every resource in the game is still possible to get. So even though you start in the sky you can still work toward getting all the normal stuff over time. The focus seems to be on building up from almost nothing and creating a whole world together.
The server is running on version 1.21.11 and it is hosted in Germany. There is no world border right now so the world can expand as people play and explore.
The vibe is like a group of people who like vanilla survival but wanted a different challenge this season. You join up and slowly grow your sky island and help shape the server world with everyone else.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
