I found this server called KiaTEC and it is a semi vanilla survival world that is still pretty new. The world is only a few weeks old so it does not feel all used up. It is for people who just want to build explore and hang out without drama.
The server runs Java 1.21.1 and it has real survival with no pay to win. Everyone mostly uses Simple Voice Chat so people actually talk and chill together. There is a main vanilla SMP hub and they are working on a dungeon server but that part is not done yet.
They added some light quality of life stuff like random teleport so you can find a new place to start and tpa so you can travel to your friends. Spawn is protected so nobody can break it and they plan to turn it into a real lobby later.
Rules are simple. PvP only happens if everyone agrees first. No griefing no stealing no cheating and no exploits are allowed. You have to respect other players and their builds and if you break trust you get a permanent ban with no second chances.
They are also looking for moderators who are mature and active and want to help the server grow from the ground up. The whole vibe is chill survival with a friendly no drama community that wants more active people to join.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTurtlecraft Season 7 Long Term SMP
Turtlecraft is a survival server that feels like a small family. It is on season seven and the server has been around for a long time. When they start a new season they keep player bases and nations but reset the rest of the world with a new seed so you always get fresh terrain without losing your builds.
The spawn is built by players and has a custom villager shop with cosmetic items and invisible item frames. There are small quality of life plugins like sitting on stairs slabs and carpets and a sleep plugin that slowly moves the night instead of skipping it. You can also claim land so random people do not grief your stuff.
They use some simple crafting datapacks. You can cut more blocks with the stonecutter and craft invisible item frames and bundles and get more wood from logs. It still feels close to vanilla and there are no crazy custom mobs.
The world is big with a fifteen thousand by fifteen thousand block map. Every six months the untouched chunks get wiped and regenerated with a new seed while bases stay. There is a Bluemap so you can see the world from a browser and find friends or plan where to go next.
The server is public so there is no whitelist. As long as you follow the rules and do not cause trouble you can join with friends or family. There are six moderators who watch chat and help people so the place stays safe and friendly.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrafttomuck Create Modded SMP Season 4
This is a modded Minecraft server that is all about the Create mod and building cool stuff. The server is called Crafttomuck and it just started its fourth season. The main world is a survival SMP where players focus on building and hanging out together.
The community feels friendly and relaxed. People like to visit each others bases and work on a shopping and gaming district that keeps growing over time. There is a custom modpack for the server called Crafftomuck and the server runs on a strong dedicated machine so it usually stays at 20 tps with almost no lag.
There is also a creative server that uses the same modpack as the main SMP. Players use it to test machines with Create or plan their big builds before they place them in survival. You can still just mess around in creative mode and do whatever you want there.
They have a team of admins that try to keep everything running smooth and fix problems fast. The whole setup feels like a small but serious community that likes variety and long term worlds with lots of machines and detailed builds.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCobble Commons Free Community SMP
This is a survival multiplayer server called Cobble and Commons and it is super focused on community and being fair. It is in beta right now and the owner wants players to help shape how the server grows.
The server has a full player driven economy. You use a jobs system to earn money and then you can set up your own shopkeeper to sell stuff to other players. Because of that the market is built by players instead of a boring admin shop.
There is also an objective based rank system. You rank up by doing tasks and objectives instead of buying anything. Each rank you get gives you more rewards and new features as you keep playing.
You can get custom items and cosmetics just by playing on the server. You can also buy them with the money you earn in the player market. There is a special winter event going on with snow and Christmas themed tools and unique pets as rewards if you take part.
The coolest part is there is no monetization at all. There are no paid ranks no donation goals and no pay to win stuff. The owner self hosts the server so it can stay up even if there are not many players and there is no money pressure.
It works for both Java and Bedrock so friends on different platforms can play together. If you like grinding for rewards and getting stronger over time this server really makes your playtime feel worth it.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNightfallRealms SMP Chill Survival

The server has custom mobs and custom enchants so fights and gear feel different from normal Minecraft. There is a daily rewards system so if you log in often you get a little boost. Land claiming is chunk based so you do not need a golden shovel to protect your builds.

This is a vanilla survival SMP called GOOMB SMP and it just had a fresh reset. The world is amplified so the terrain looks super crazy and tall and everyone is starting tiny bases right now.
There is a 2k by 2k world border so players are kind of packed together near spawn. People are making bases close to each other and sometimes even teaming up. The plan is that the border will expand later so there will be more room for big projects and different ideas.
The community is really active on Discord. People are sharing screenshots of the amplified terrain and planning shops and trading deals. It feels like the start of a new season where everyone is excited and setting up their place.
The rules are pretty strict about being respectful. No racism or hate speech and no NSFW stuff. They want the server to stay drama free and mature. There is no griefing or stealing and no PvP unless both people agree so it is pretty safe to build.
