Zest Creative is a longtime creative city build server with a tight knit active community. The world uses a very large custom terrain map and people build cities together over time.
To get in you join the discord first and do a short application. It is mainly there to filter out griefers. After that you can earn access to WorldEdit and other helpful commands and really show what you can do.
Roleplay is optional but it is there if you want it. Players do geopolitical RP and lore and worldbuilding as the world grows. You can mark a claim and staff will show it on the map then you can start your story. You can also mark towns and settlements.
The rules are laid back and there are events once in a while. Staff and players are usually around to chat critique builds and team up on big projects.

BetaBuddies is a vanilla Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 SMP server with a small but active community that wants more people to join.
The whole point is enjoying classic Minecraft and building stuff together while keeping it simple and fun.
The rules are pretty clear. No hate speech or symbols. No griefing stealing or cheating. Try to avoid explicit or offensive meme content. Be kind to each other because bullying is not allowed.
You will need to request a whitelist to play.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Vanilla Hard Mode SMP
I found a long term survival world that stays vanilla and plays on hard difficulty. It is meant to feel calm and actually multiplayer even when a lot of people are on.
There are no land claims and no locked chests so it feels more immersive and shared. PvP only happens if both people agree like friendly duels.
They say no theft and no griefing. They also use tools that can restore builds so the world stays safe.
There are no payments or donations or perks. You can join and explore right away but to break blocks and fully interact you have to read the rules in game and follow the getting started steps.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
