This is a brand new hardcore vanilla style SMP that just opened and it feels really fresh. The world is less than a week old so you are not super behind yet.
It runs on the newest Minecraft update with stuff like copper golems spears and horses that can swim. The server is very close to true vanilla with only minimal plugins. There are no ranks and no pay to win so everyone has the same chance to survive.
This server is hardcore so when you die you get tempbanned instead of just respawning. That makes every fight and every cave run feel scary and fun. There is a large world border so everyone still feels like they are in the same world and not a million blocks apart.
When you first join you get some starter items plus invis and regen so you can sneak away from spawn safely and start your own base without getting spotted right away.
The server is crossplay so Java players and Bedrock players can join together. Java uses version 1.21.11 and Bedrock uses 1.21.131. If you like real hardcore survival with no pay to win and you want a fresh world this server fits that perfectly.
Brand New Vanilla Hardcore SMP
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGOOMB SMP Vanilla Amplified Survival
GOOMB SMP is a vanilla amplified survival world that just reset about two weeks ago. Everyone is building bases in crazy tall terrain and the world border is 6k by 6k so people are pretty close to each other.
Because players are close it feels like a real community. People are setting up shops and planning different base ideas for when the border expands more. There is a lot of building going on and it already feels like a busy season 2 world.
The discord is super active. People share screenshots of the amplified terrain and talk in voice chat about trades and base plans. VCs are usually full of players just hanging out and talking while they play.
The rules are strict about being respectful. No hate speech no NSFW and no drama. No griefing no stealing and no unconsented PvP. You have to be mature and use common sense if you want to stay.
To get on the server you apply first then wait for a mod to review it. After you are accepted you send your name to get whitelisted. It feels like a curated community that actually cares about the world and about each other.

It is mainly about exploring and surviving in the USW map with other people online. There is no extra info about rules or special modes so it feels like normal multiplayer survival but on a custom world.

Endergrove is a Minecraft group for adults who like playing modded survival together. It feels like a chill place where people actually talk and work as a team instead of rushing alone.
They run two servers right now. One is on Forge 1.20.1 with a custom modpack that mixes magic tech and exploration. The other is on Fabric 1.21.1 and is more like vanilla plus but still has a lot of mods and quality of life stuff so it runs smooth.
Both servers focus on community and long term worlds. The idea is to build friendships and projects that last instead of speedrunning everything. Voice chat is used to verify new people and they really encourage talking in voice when you can so the world feels alive.
If you want to see the modpacks first you can grab them on Curseforge and check the modlists there.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Homestead 18+ Cozy Survival Nations
The Homestead is a semi vanilla 18 plus Minecraft survival server. It feels really relaxed and calm and it is made for people who want to chill after school or work. There is no TPA and no home commands and not a bunch of random extras. It is mostly just normal Minecraft survival.
The community started after leaving a server that was too strict and not managed well. Here the admins are not power hungry and they just want people to have fun. The server is smaller on purpose so it can stay close knit.
The coolest part is the group system. Players are encouraged to join a group and help build themed towns and villages that are called Nations. Right now there are two nations and one is still early in progress. The idea is that people do not run thousands of blocks alone. Instead they stay near each other talk in voice chat and work together on builds.
There will be an economy system and a central shopping district so players can trade and buy stuff. The server is pretty new and only about a week old so they are still growing.
The server is LGBTQ plus friendly and really against hate speech. It welcomes people from all backgrounds and is meant to be a safe space for neurodivergent players too.

I found this server called Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy Minecraft world that tries to feel like pure vanilla survival. It went online in October 2024 and it runs all the time so you can hop on whenever.
You can join with a bunch of Java versions and they say the newest one works best. The world border is huge so there is tons of land to explore and build in. There are no map resets so whatever you build or destroy just stays there.
The rules are super light. Griefing is allowed and PvP is allowed so you always have to watch your back. There is no pay to win and no teleport commands like /tpa so you actually have to travel. The only command they let you use that is not really vanilla is spawn so you can get back to other players if you went really far out.
They also let people use the nether roof and they removed phantoms so nights are a bit less annoying. Only about half the people need to sleep to skip night so the world keeps moving. The stuff that is not allowed is lag machines exploits duping spam and harassment or racial slurs in chat.
If you want a pretty raw survival server with big freedom and not many rules this place feels like that kind of server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMyntonSMP Vanilla With Real People

There is a Brewery plugin where you can brew distill and age different drinks. It sounds like there are a bunch of recipes to figure out so that gives you something to mess with when you are bored.
You get access to vaults so you do not have to carry everything on you after a big mining trip. That makes storing your loot a lot easier. The server also has crossplay so you can join from different devices like console or phone.
