I found StarBorne and it is a sci fi story survival server that works on crossplay. The idea is that Earth got ruined by wars and chaos so the last survivors got sent to a new planet called Alpha Centauri.
You are supposed to regrow civilization by making towns and building a base. You can explore unique structures and try to make this new world feel like home.
The terrain is made to be inspiring but still good for survival. There is also custom music to help the world feel more immersive. This is Chapter 1 called Alpha Centauri and it is season 1.
There is a big mall called Arcadia and you can use the shop command to visit it. Since the server is new you get the highest rank called Pioneer forever for free when you join.
It is meant to be simple with some quality of life features and a focus on survival.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNether Online Hardcore Exploration Server
I found a server called NETHER.ONLINE and it is trying to be way more intense than normal survival. It is built around huge exploration and tough fighting so you always have something to do.
It has custom bosses plus a ton of biomes across all dimensions. You can also find custom structures dungeons and trial chambers which makes exploring feel massive.
There are custom items and resources that are chance based so you keep chasing better finds. They also have self flying elytra which sounds fast and wild.
The server says cheating is impossible because they use their own anti xray and anti esp. It also says there is no pay to win ever so it is supposed to stay fair.
It is a new server with constant updates and it is run by a passionate owner and a small dedicated staff team.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 IPPurrfect SMP Vanilla 1.21+ Adult Towns
Purrfect SMP is a new survival world that uses vanilla rules but has some quality of life mods. It runs on Fabric and still feels like normal Minecraft but smoother and with extra small features.
The server has Towns and Towers so there are new structures to find like different ships and ocean style villages. It makes exploring feel fresh and gives more reason to travel far from spawn.
Right now the server is pretty small with under twenty people in the community so it feels friendly and close. It is meant for long term play and there are no plans to reset the world. They back up the world every day and use a ledger plugin like Coreprotect for Fabric so builds are protected.
The server is for 18 plus only and they want players who answer honestly and put effort into their application. It is also a safe place for everyone and is LGBTQIA plus friendly.
The End is still closed and is planned to open on January twenty third in an event at six p m PST. There is no world border and they already generated land out to twenty thousand blocks in the overworld so chunks load better.
The staff uses extra tools like BlueMap so you can view the world in a browser and see what people are building. Overall it feels like a cozy adult vanilla style SMP with a focus on community and long term builds.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
