Davidscloud is a survival community server that has been around since 1.7.10 and it is built for long term play. It is PvE focused and it tries to keep things fair with no pay to win.
The server uses grief prevention claims so your builds can stay safe. You start with 2000 claim blocks and you earn 120 more each hour you play. Pets are protected too and there is an active admin team if you need help.
There are quality of life features that do not mess up balance. There is a banking system that earns interest while you play and a survival spawn market with merchants where you can buy useful stuff like potions fish and wood.
You can explore more than one world. There is a main survival world and an amplified world with the newer caves and cliffs terrain and you can get there through an NPC at survival spawn. An event world and a creative plot world are also planned.
It supports Java and Bedrock cross play so people on PC console and mobile can play together.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHeadrest SMP Season 2 Lore Wars
I found Headrest SMP and it is a Paper server that is starting Season 2 today. It runs on 1.20.10 and it has a bunch of quality of life stuff like Terralith and other structure plugins.
The vibe is roleplay with lore and factions. People build together and also fight other groups when drama starts. PvP is there but it is more like a side thing and not the whole point.
There is a safe zone at spawn where players can build shops and hang out. They also use a simple voice chat mod so talking feels more real.
They have plugins for stuff like no elytra during combat and combatlog and a sit command. The server also says it has a dedicated machine with 20GB of ram and a 5800x3d CPU to help keep lag down.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermitcraft Style Origins SMP No Whitelist
This server is a survival SMP that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. It is meant for people who like to build big bases and cool shops and work on community projects together.
The main twist is that it uses the Origins mod. So you still play normal survival but each player can have different abilities. It is not super crazy or anything. It just makes things more fun and different.
There are land claims so people cannot mess up your builds. There is also a planned spawn hub that is made for shops and events and other social stuff.
There is no whitelist so anyone can join when it opens. The world is meant to last a long time and not reset every few months.
The play style is chill and survival focused with some light quality of life changes but nothing huge. It mixes Hermitcraft style gameplay with Origins and feels pretty unique.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
