I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now
They plan to fully start in about a week so it feels like a good time to get in early
It is meant to stay close to normal survival with a small community vibe

Fresh World StartPaper performance focusSimple survival rulesSmall Server FeelTesting focused server
I found a brand new UK survival server that is mainly here for stress testing and performance checks. The owner is mixing Azure hosting with Minecraft and wants players to jump in and see how it feels.
It runs on Paper 1.21 and the gamemode is Survival. The server is hosted in the UK on Azure UK South so it should feel snappy for UK players.
If you join the test server you are basically helping them push the infrastructure and report if anything feels laggy or weird. They also offer free 48 hour server trials for anyone who wants to try running their own server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOnion SMP Crossplay Survival 1.21.11
Onion SMP is a survival server that runs on 1.21.11 and it is crossplay so more people can join together.
It has claims so your builds can be protected. Keep inventory is on so dying is not as painful. There is rtp so you can get away from spawn fast.
It also has combat log protection so fights do not get ruined. You can make teams too so it is easy to play with friends.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrossplay No PvP SMP With Claims
I found playJAMS and it is a no pvp survival multiplayer server that works for both Java and Bedrock players.
It has land claims so your builds can stay safe and you get up to 4 homes you can set.
The nether is not always open. On weekdays it opens from 5 to 7 PM EST and on weekends it is open all day.
Nether portals only work at spawn and you use the spawn command to get there.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
