I found this server called Rosedalean SMP and it feels like a chill place for adults who love Minecraft. It is an 18 plus server and you have to apply to get in so they keep trolls and griefers out. The vibe is kind of like Hermitcraft with an enhanced vanilla style and tons of space to build your own base.
The server runs on add ons so you do not need to download a bunch of mods. They use simple voice chat and there are special Terralith biomes so exploring the world looks way cooler. There is also a blue map so you can see how the world is getting explored over time.
The community seems really into doing things together. There are community run events and players can suggest ideas. You can make or join factions and try to be the strongest team or just build a cute village for you and your animals. It sounds like pretty much any playstyle is fine.
They also have an easy ticket system so if something goes wrong you can get help. Overall it looks like a friendly and welcoming survival server for adults who want a safe place to play and build long term.

This is a hardcore vanilla SMP that is still pretty new and that makes it feel fresh. It runs on hardcore difficulty so every time you die it really matters.
You only get a limited number of lives before you are banned for the whole season. Each time you get banned it lasts longer until you finally get a permanent ban for that season. So you need to actually think before you jump into fights.
When you first join you get some starter tools and also invisibility and regeneration. This helps you get away from the spawn area fast and avoids spawn killing. They said spawn killing almost never happens but they still protect you just in case.
