I found a new public server made for the Homestead modpack by Tokimi. It runs on Fabric and the listed version is 1.2.9.4.
There is no whitelist so anyone can join and start playing. Griefing is allowed so it is smart to hide your house and not build in obvious spots.
The owner says to be kind and they will ban people if there is proof of stuff like swearing hate speech or other negativity. There is also a Discord where you can report players if you need to.
BackToBlocks is a mostly vanilla survival server that tries to keep the classic Minecraft feel. It adds a few helpful things so getting around is not annoying like /sethome and /spawn plus /tpa.
The server has a community made spawn and the staff runs events sometimes. There is also a decorated Nether Hub and a decorated End Island plus a player run Shopping District.
It is not pay to win and it avoids goofy plugin spam. PvP and raiding are allowed but it is not a PvP focused place and griefing is not allowed. There is an item economy and you can even use /itemflip to gamble items just for fun and you can toggle phantoms too.
It supports both Java and Bedrock players since there is a Bedrock port listed.
Forever Fractured SMP is a brand new survival server that tries to stay close to vanilla. It is an anarchy style place but it is no hack.
The world does not reset so anything you build can last if you can keep it safe. The server is crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can play together.
The owners and staff do not jump in much. The idea is players handle their own problems. You protect your stuff by getting stronger or teaming up with allies and shaping what the server becomes.
n0px2 is a semi vanilla plus survival server in the EU on version 1.21.11. It feels like a real sandbox where the world is meant to be shaped by the players.
Griefing is allowed and there are no land claims so you have to hide your stuff or defend it. The server says no hacks no dupes and no exploits so the chaos is still meant to be fair.
Exploring is a big deal here with harder world stuff like Incendium Terralith Stellarity Dungeons and Taverns and a Warden dimension. There is also area chat which makes it feel more immersive.
They do big updates every quarter and sometimes reset extra dimensions if people want that. Your Ender Chest is permanent and never wiped so you can keep important items safe long term.
FabricCraft is a fresh Fabric survival server that tries to feel like real vanilla. It is semi anarchy and the world is meant to stick around so players can leave a real mark over time.
There are no land claims and there are no resets. That means your builds and the damage and the stories can stay on the map instead of getting wiped.
The server avoids Paper and Spigot so farms and redstone behave the way people expect in vanilla. Alliances and trade and raids and rivalries happen naturally.
Rules are kept low and it is still moderated. Griefing close to spawn within 1k is not allowed and staff handles that without using claims.
Simple Voice Chat is available if you want to talk in game. There is also a creative world with no plot system so you can plan big projects before doing them in survival.
ArcticMC is a new survival server that mixes Towny and factions. It feels chill but there is still pvp and territory stuff if you want action.
You can build a town then make allies or take land for your own group. They also use an honor system for fights and it is explained in their rules.
McMMO is on so you level up skills while you play. You can unlock special abilities at higher levels.
The world uses tectonic generation so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys. There are also custom items and even furniture but they plan chunk limits to help with lag.
The community is meant to be calm and friendly so you can grind build or just hang out.
FabricCraft is a survival server that sticks to real vanilla mechanics by running on Fabric. It is semi anarchy so you get lots of freedom with only a few rules.
There are no land claims and there are no world resets so the world stays the same and the story is made by players. People team up trade fight and raid and it turns into politics pretty fast.
Hacked clients are not allowed and anything that gives you an unfair advantage is not ok. Griefing is banned within 1k of spawn and it is handled by active moderation instead of claim systems.
There is also a creative world with no plots and no space limits so players can test builds before bringing them into survival. A simple voice chat mod is available for everyone too.
Skirn is a brand new survival world that started on March 7th. It is built to feel like a long term place with no resets and a massive 100k by 100k map.
The whole idea is worldbuilding with wars and player made politics. Admins try to stay out of the way so the economy and choices come from the players.
It stays mostly vanilla but it does have Lands for claiming. There are also custom plugins like a fast travel sign warp system and proximity text chat so talking feels more local.
This is a Vanilla plus survival server on 1.21.11 that is meant to feel like classic Minecraft but with a few small quality of life mods. The main idea is to log on after a long day and just chill in a world that keeps growing over time.
Season 3 started yesterday so the map is still fresh and it is a good time to join. People build towns and big projects and the world turns into a bunch of player stories.
The server is whitelisted and it is looking for players 17 plus who want a mature community. Proximity voice chat is optional.
The rules are simple. No griefing no stealing and no toxic behaviour. Cracked accounts are not allowed.
NoHackAnarchy is a semi anarchy vanilla server with very few rules and a lot of freedom. It has been running for almost a year so it feels like a place people actually live on.
You can join on Java and Bedrock and even consoles too. Java supports 1.13 to 1.21.x and 1.21.11 is recommended.
They keep the rules simple. No hacked clients no cheats and no xray even with resource packs. No exploiting server bugs. No crashing or trying to lag the server. No macros or automation tools. If you spam chat too hard you can get auto kicked.
