I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now.
They plan to start for real in about a week. It sounds like a simple survival server with that mostly vanilla feel.

I found a chill modded Minecraft server called The Ferox Concordium and it is run by a small group of friends. It feels welcoming and they are trying to grow the community.
The server is always online and people are actively playing. It is running the Divine Journey 2 modpack on Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2.
Staff and owners are around a lot and they help when you have questions or need help in game. Joining their Discord is required so they can verify players and keep things safe.
It is 16 plus only and they want everyone to be respectful.

Pixel Springs is a cozy modded SMP on 1.20.1 that is meant to be long term and it does not reset. It feels made for builders collectors and chill players who want a home world that stays.
The mod list leans hard into building and decorating with stuff like Building Gadgets Chipped Handcrafted and Dusty Decorations. There are also lots of farming and cooking mods like Farmers Delight and addons Croptopia Cooking for Blockheads and all the Lets Do mods. If you like magic there is Botania Hexerei Mystical Agriculture and Ars Noveau.
There is a custom FTB Quests system that helps guide you and you can earn in game currency through quests and daily rewards. People can build shops and there is a shopping district for the community.
Resources are not limited because there is a separate resource overworld dimension that resets sometimes so exploring stays worth it. The server is small friendly and welcoming and the admin team helps out and keeps frequent backups.

JXT SMP Season 9 is a newly started semi vanilla survival server that is trying to grow a chill community. It keeps the classic vanilla feel but it also boosts performance with Fabric mods so the game runs smoother.
It supports Java and Bedrock crossplay so friends can play together even if they use different versions. The world is also upgraded with bigger terrain and changed dimensions using Terralith in the Overworld plus Incendium in the Nether plus Nullscape in the End and also Amplified Nether for huge Nether landscapes.
The vibe is community focused and content creator friendly. People can explore build massive bases and work together on long term projects.
The rules are simple. Be mature and respectful. No griefing or stealing. Do not enter other players bases without permission.

I found a Minecraft server that runs in seasons. Every couple months the world gets fully reset so everyone starts fresh again.
Right now it is basic vanilla so people can settle in and get to know each other while the server grows.
Near the end of each season the community votes on what the next reset will be. It might stay normal or it might switch into something new like OP weapons life steal anarchy or horror mods. The whole point is to keep it changing and fun and make it easy to jump in each cycle.

I found a casual SMP called Jujutsu Origins and it is just normal survival Minecraft but with the ORCA Jujutsu Craft mod on.
It is made for people who want cursed techniques and progression without hardcore roleplay. You can build your base grind your abilities and explore like usual.
PvP is optional so you can fight if you want but it is not about nonstop wars. The server feels small and chill and mostly about hanging out and having fun.

The vibe is chill and respectful and it is built for builders casual players and creators too. The server is not pay to win and it is not anarchy and they are trying to keep drama out.
The direction is community driven from day 1 and they are bringing players in through applications. The launch is coming soon so it is a good time to get in at the start.

Bob Server Finder is a hub where people look for Minecraft servers and share them. It feels like a place made for finding your next server fast.
I saw options like SMP communities lifesteal servers FFA kingdoms and factions plus minigames and parkour. There are also events and it mentions both small and big servers.
It also lets server owners promote their server and lets players discover new communities and connect with owners.

This is a fresh start vanilla SMP that kicks off with everyone joining at the same time for Season 2 on March 14 at 9AM AEST. It is meant to feel like normal Minecraft but with light management tools keeping things running smooth.
The early game is paced so it does not get rushed. Week 1 has a 1000 by 1000 world border and the Nether is closed. In Week 2 the border expands and the Nether opens. The End unlocks two weeks after the Nether opens.
PvP is only allowed if both players agree. Griefing and stealing are not allowed. Spawn is a flat plains area with rivers around it and villages nearby. Last season the first day hit over 20 players and applications are open now.
