Toejutsu is a vanilla SMP that feels more about the people than flashy stuff. The community is small but pretty active and it has weekly events so there is usually something going on.
It stays mostly vanilla but it has a few twists to make survival feel harder and more interesting. Some players can get curses placed on them. Villagers are disabled so you cannot lean on trading. Diamonds are way more scarce so getting geared up takes longer.
The world border is set to 10k so the map feels tighter. There is also no TPA right now so you have to travel the old school way.

I found a brand new crossplay SMP that just started and it has a lifesteal twist. It is made to feel close to vanilla with only minimal plugins.
The player count is low right now since it is fresh which makes it a good time to join early and try to rise above everyone.
There are very few rules so it feels more free like how a lot of people want an SMP to be.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSmall Anything SMP No Whitelist

This is a small server with around 90 players and it is running on 1.21.11. It is almost fully vanilla so it feels like normal Minecraft survival.
The only changes are stuff to stop x ray and some admin tools. There is also a register plugin so cracked players can keep their names safe.

I found a small semi vanilla survival server that is in testing right now.
The plan is to fully start in about a week so it feels like a fresh start. It sounds like the main vibe is simple survival with a smaller group so you can actually know who you are playing with.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBumCraft Reborn ATM10 SMP PVE
BumCraft Reborn is a newer modded SMP server that is running All The Mods 10 version 5.4. It started as a homebrew pack but they switched over and they might add their own stuff later.
The vibe is PVE and survival with very light RP. There are a bunch of roles so people can have a status like barons and town leaders and faction leaders and warriors and more.
The rules live in their Discord but the main idea is simple. Do not be a jerk and keep chat clean. They say they are not super PC but they also do not want people acting like loose cannons.
They are small right now with around 15 members. They want to grow and they are mainly hoping for 20 to 30 consistent players even though more is welcome. Activity is not 24 7 so expect it to be chill some days.
They also have lots of Discord channels for stuff like Spanish chat and memes and videos and animal photos and mod suggestions and other games plus bug reports and faction threads.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPVoice Chat Vanilla Build Realms
I found a chill survival server with around 15 active players who just hang out and play a lot of Minecraft.
The main vibe is building together in themed areas and trying to make the world feel more immersive. There are six different groups and each one has its own style like Aztec and Egyptian builds underground builds sci fi and magic medieval modern city and Asian inspired.
They keep it close to vanilla with a few gamerule changes or plugins. There is no teleport no home and no economy.
You need the VoiceChatMod to join. The server is hosted in the UK and it is online 24 7 so it is great for UK and Europe players. Some people also play from Australia and the US without problems.
If you want in you apply with their form and they will DM you on Reddit if you get accepted.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPValecraft SMP Semi Vanilla 1.21.11
Valecraft SMP is a semi vanilla Minecraft server on 1.21.11 that is in the late stages of development and testing. It is looking for a few early players to help get things started.
It uses quality of life plugins like LuckPerms EssentialsX and WorldGuard plus a few others. The goal is to keep the game feeling like normal Minecraft while making things run smoother.
The server already has a small but active player base and a dedicated staff team. Feedback is taken through the Discord and staff can answer questions in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Fabric Modded Co Op With Voice
This is a small laid back modded Minecraft server run by a few friends who want more people to play with.
It uses a curated mod list with new monsters and weapons and armor and mounts and resources and furniture and cosmetics. Even with the mods it is optimized and it runs on Fabric so it can be easier on lower spec PCs.
The whole point is to explore build and discover stuff together. It is not meant to be competitive or high pressure and it is more for people who like playing with others.
People talk in Discord and the server also has proximity voice chat so it feels more natural when you run into someone while exploring or building or going on an adventure.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDurian SMP New Vanilla Community
Durian SMP is a very new server that is only about a week old. It has a small group with around 14 consistent players and it feels pretty close and active.
It plays like a mostly vanilla survival server with a couple small tweaks. There are graves so you can get your stuff back easier and there is a shop plugin so players can trade with each other. People will help you get started but they are not just handing out max gear.
The admin uses logging with Ledger and can do rollbacks if something goes wrong. If items get taken and you can prove they existed like with screenshots or Ledger pages they can be returned.
PvP is only allowed if both players agree. Stealing and griefing can get you warned or banned depending on how bad it is. Slurs and hate are not allowed anywhere and cheating gets an instant ban. Duping is also not allowed and it is handled with a strike system.
This server is for players who are 16 or older and want a calmer place to play. Pranks are allowed but they cannot kill players or destroy builds and there is a whitelist process to join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
