I found Blithe and it is a whitelisted semi vanilla survival server with a really talented building community. When you first log in the season 10 spawn area is already super unique and it makes the whole server feel alive.
The staff and owners are experienced and they play daily. The playerbase feels more mature and you can be social or just do your own thing. It has casual players and also more hardcore players but it is not full SciCraft levels.
The server runs on high end hosting so it feels fast and reliable. There is also a live world map you can view online and it shows players in the overworld too.
On survival they use a few plugins like an armor stand editor proximity chat and mini blocks so it feels kind of like those Hermitcraft quality of life options. They also have optional membership perks to support the team and a suggested client side modpack you can download.
There are over 250 whitelisted players and the seasons run about five months. It starts busy around 30 to 50 players then slows down later in the season. They also have a linked permanent creative server that does not reset so people can build big projects test redstone make minigames or just mess around with friends.

I found a fresh Minecraft SMP that is trying to start strong with about 10 to 20 active players. It is survival and semi vanilla and it is meant to be long term so people can actually build a real world together.
The server is big on community interaction and it also has competitive but fair gameplay. They run weekly events like PvP stuff challenges and mini games.
They say there is no pay to win and they have fair rules with consistent moderation. They also have a dedicated staff team and they are looking for a few more mods or helpers. They care more about being active and mature than having lots of experience.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCofferCraft Semi Vanilla Economy SMP
CofferCraft is a fresh semi vanilla SMP on 1.21.11 where you start at the beginning and earn everything the normal way. It is made for exploring building and grinding without the game feeling changed into something else.
The server has land claims and protections so your builds and storage can stay safe. It also has hidden vaults around the world so exploring can pay off.
The economy is mostly run by players with an Auction House for buying and selling. There is no server shop and no easy money system so if you want stuff you mine it or trade for it. There is also a /sell command but only some items can be sold to the server.
It is a SFW community and the launch is limited to 50 players for now. When you join you can use /kit default for starter supplies and /rtp to get started fast.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAltar SMP Launching Tomorrow Join Early

They say it is going to be big and it has good plugins so it should be a solid setup for survival.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Vanilla Kingdoms Faction Server Soon
This is a semi vanilla Minecraft server that is starting soon. It uses a few mods but they are meant to not change the gameplay too much.
The main thing is there are 5 kingdoms or nations or factions. Each one is led by a very small content creator that got picked. Other players can join one of the kingdoms and play as a group.
The server has not started yet so it is a fresh start kind of vibe. You join early to learn the info and be ready when it goes live.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVitaNova SMP Economy With Claims
VitaNova is a semi vanilla SMP that tries to keep the normal Minecraft feel but adds a lot of extra stuff to work toward. It supports Java and Bedrock together and it runs on 1.21+.
The server has a growing economy vibe and it pushes progression with quests. You can earn rewards and unlock ranks just by playing and it is meant to be fully free to play with no pay to win locks.
Building is safer because you can claim land with a protection plugin so your stuff is harder to mess with. There is also a custom world to explore with custom structures to find.
If you like grinding side systems there is custom fishing with rarities and tournaments plus upgraded farming and custom enchantments for combat and mining. They also mention regular events and an active friendly community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSqueejCraft 1.21.11 Semi Vanilla SMP
SqueejCraft is a hard difficulty semi vanilla survival SMP that cares a lot about staying close to vanilla. The server is tuned to feel almost like single player with only a few quality of life changes.

There are home points and chest shops that unlock automatically plus a land claim system so you can protect your area. The economy is meant to be balanced and PvP is optional with protection for your items.
The world is long term with no resets and a 300k world border. It is also made to be nearly impossible to xray and the setup is lightweight and future proofed.
There are server rules and guides for beginners plus help for land claims chest shops and chat features.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Lab SMP Fresh Semi Vanilla Season
The Lab SMP is a small tightknit server that just started a fresh season of vanilla survival about two weeks ago and they want more people to join.
The world border is set to 2k by 2k right now so everyone stays close and actually runs into each other. They plan to expand it later after the dragon is beaten.
It uses proximity voice chat and dynmap is coming soon. There is a shopping district at spawn built above an open ancient city.
The server is on version 1.21.11 and it is hosted in Germany. Sleep percentage is 20 percent and enderman griefing is turned off. The End will open soon and the dragon fight is planned as a group event.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWaychest SMP – Alone Together PvE World
Waychest is a survival server that feels like a big shared world but also a private realm. When you join you start your own Journey with a random spawn like it is your own server. You can do this alone or with friends.
The cool part is that every Journey is still in the same huge survival world. As you explore you start to find special chests and builds from other players. Stuff in the world slowly shows you that you are not actually alone.
The server runs Java 1.21.11 and keeps the game close to vanilla. Most of the extra features are custom made just for this place. There are special Waychests that connect Journeys and reward people who go out and find them. Later you can craft your own Waychests to guide future players to your base.
There is also a flying minigame that uses elytra where you try to fly through rings in the world and it leads you to someone else’s Waychest. There are discovery based warp points too but you have to find them out in the wild before you can use them.
From what I can see this server is all about PvE exploration and building in a calm survival world. You get that quiet solo feeling at the start but the world slowly proves that other players are out there with you.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
