I found a semi vanilla SMP that just started a fresh season about three weeks ago. It is a small tightknit group and they want more people to join their weird cult kind of community vibe.
Most players live near spawn but there is tons of room if you want to go build far away. There is proximity voice chat so you can talk in game when you are close.
The server is on version 1.21.11 and it is hosted in Germany. The world border is 20k by 20k and sleep percentage is set to 20 percent.
They have a shopping district built above an open ancient city at spawn. Dynmap is coming soon. The End outer islands get reset sometimes and enderman griefing is turned off.

The vibe is relaxed and casual and it is about building exploring and just hanging out with people. Rules are light and you are not allowed to grief builds.
PvP is allowed so if you want fights you can do that and it is fair game. The world border is set to 10k for now and the server is located in Germany. All ages can join and new features might get added if the community wants them.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMurder Birds Survival SMP Season One

This is a small server called 5tarRock that has been in development for a few months and it just released. The world is completely custom and they changed how ores generate and how combat works. There is also a special climate system and more stuff based on realism.
The server is semi vanilla but you actually have to work for your items. You cannot just build crazy auto farms and let the game play itself. A lot of easy automation is disabled so players have to play for real and earn their gear.
The community feels small and chill and they are clearly still growing and looking for new players who like survival and realism. They also have a contest going on right now where people can redesign their logo and banner. The prize is 125 dollars if your design wins.

There is a PyroFish plugin so fishing is way more interesting. You can catch different custom fish with rarities and there are fishing tournaments where players try to beat each other.
The server uses a Lands plugin so you can claim land and keep your builds and loot safe from people who want to steal or grief.
There is an economy with AuctionHouse and Jobs. You can earn money by doing jobs and then buy and sell stuff to get rich and grow your base. There are also crates that are not super hard to get so they give you a little boost as you play.
