Banana Sandwich SMP is a Java 1.21.11 survival SMP that is already a couple months into the season so you are not stuck in the early game rush. The world has builds and infrastructure set up plus a safe Mushroom Island hub and active shops.
The server is 18+ and tries to stay chill and collaborative with a mature vibe and less drama. Proximity voice chat is required so people actually talk in game and it feels more real.
The economy is diamond based and the shopping district is busy so you can make a shop or trade with others. It also has extra stuff like invisible item frames custom armor stands and the ability to sit and ride.
There is a Bluemap you can use to see the world and it is zero pay to win. Dragon drops elytra is planned for fair access after the End opens in about two weeks.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTerraScape Vanilla SMP Peaceful 18+
I found TerraScape SMP and it is a peaceful survival server for Java players. It is mostly vanilla and it keeps things chill since pvp is only allowed if both people agree.
The community is small and mature and it is an 18 plus server. They do events and the staff says they are happy to help if you have problems.
It has a few plugins like sit map art simple voice chat that you can ignore if you want and Bluemap. The rules are basic but important like be respectful and no griefing stealing or random pvp and you can build freely as long as you respect other people and their stuff.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
