SurvivalTales SMP is a semi vanilla server that just opened and it already feels pretty cozy. It is based in the EU and the whole idea is to make survival more fun without going too crazy with mods.
The server lets Java and Bedrock players join so friends on different platforms can play together. The world has custom generation and custom structures in the Overworld the Nether and the End so exploring actually feels new and not just the same default map.
There is a player based economy and the grind is slower so progress feels earned instead of instant. The server has anti grief so builds are protected and you can focus on surviving and building instead of worrying about random destruction.
They added PyroFishing PyroMining and mcMMO so skills and gathering are more interesting. There is ArtMap for drawing pixel art and there are mob plushies plus a live map that lets you see the world from a browser. Ranks can be earned by voting and there is no pay to win at all.
Overall the server feels like a chill semi vanilla survival world with some cool custom content and a focus on fair play and a friendly community.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEndergrove Adults Only Modded Co‑Op

Endergrove is a Minecraft group for adults who like playing modded survival together. It feels like a chill place where people actually talk and work as a team instead of rushing alone.
They run two servers right now. One is on Forge 1.20.1 with a custom modpack that mixes magic tech and exploration. The other is on Fabric 1.21.1 and is more like vanilla plus but still has a lot of mods and quality of life stuff so it runs smooth.
Both servers focus on community and long term worlds. The idea is to build friendships and projects that last instead of speedrunning everything. Voice chat is used to verify new people and they really encourage talking in voice when you can so the world feels alive.
If you want to see the modpacks first you can grab them on Curseforge and check the modlists there.

The whole city is inside one big jungle biome. Players do not just build random stuff everywhere. You buy plots with diamonds at the Town Hall and all building stays on those plots. It makes the place feel organized and like a real planned city instead of a mess.
There is a main Town Hall where players talk about public projects and what to build next. The founders vote on big choices like when to update the server and what direction the city should go. A wall goes around the jungle so the borders of the city are super clear.
The rules are pretty strict. You have to be 18 or older. The server is fully vanilla. No griefing no cheating and no stealing. Everyone has to be respectful or they just do not belong here.
The server is online and open now and you have to get whitelisted before you can join.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEden MC – No Reset Civilization SMP

Eden is a survival server that tries to feel like a real long term world where stuff actually matters. The map does not reset all the time so your builds and projects are meant to last.
Players can make nations and set up rules and run their own economy. There are no admin shops so trading between players is super important. You use chest shops to sell items and crops grow different in different biomes so towns end up needing each other.
Protection is not just some magic claim command. You use materials to reinforce your blocks so they take a ton of hits to break. Offline raiding is possible but really slow and risky so people have time to defend.
There are snitch blocks that record who walks through your base so you can see who visited. If someone griefs you you do not ping an admin. You hunt them down yourself and you can trap them using an exile pearl that sends them to the Nether as punishment until their time is done or someone frees them.
The community has a core group that has been playing together for around ten years and the server already has about twenty people online at peak times. It feels like the early days of a new civilization and now is when the history is just starting.

This server is called CityCraft and it is a vanilla survival world that feels really classic and slow.
Everyone plays in one big jungle biome and the whole place is built like a real city. You do not just build anywhere. You get a plot with diamonds at the Town Hall and build inside the walls. So the city does not look random and messy. It looks planned and neat.
There is a Town Hall where people talk about projects and vote on big stuff like when to update and how the city should grow. Updates to new versions happen slowly and only when players agree.
The rules are pretty strict. You have to be 18 or older. It is full vanilla survival. No griefing no cheating and no stealing. You have to respect other players.
I think it is good for players who like long term worlds and want to help build one organized jungle city together.

This is a new survival server that just opened and the world still feels fresh and empty and ready to explore. It uses proximity voice chat so you actually talk to people near you and it feels more real and sometimes pretty chaotic.
The server is set to hard difficulty so it is not easy at all. You have to play carefully because survival is rough and every mistake matters a lot. Progression is slow on purpose so getting better gear feels like a real achievement and not something you rush in one day.
There are custom mobs and big boss fights that are way different from normal Minecraft. Battles are intense and you really have to be ready if you want to win and get rewards. There are also tons of custom craftable items like weapons tools gear and decorations that you learn through special recipes.
Exploring the world is a big part of the server. There are custom structures hidden places mysterious dungeons and special encounters that you find when you wander around. It really feels like the world pushes back and has its own story.
