PeaMC is a pure survival server that feels like old school Minecraft. There are no teleport commands and no land claims. You just survive travel build and hang out with other players.
The community is chill and friendly. The owner and mods are active in game and also watch the server on Discord so it does not feel abandoned. There are teams you can make with your friends so you can build together and explore.
The server is vanilla style so there are no crazy plugins in your face. You move around the world by actually walking sailing or using whatever you build. PvP is allowed so you can still fight other players but it is not total chaos.
The rules are mostly about being respectful. No hacks or exploits. No harassment or slurs. No griefing or stealing from bases and no killing pets or spawn killing. PvP that blows up builds like crystal PvP or respawn anchor traps or minecart bombs is not allowed because it can destroy player creations.
It works on both Java and Bedrock between version 1.7x and 1.21.11 so a lot of players can join. If you want a server that feels like classic survival with real exploring and building this one fits that style.

Kindred Vale is a chill survival server that is all about no grief and feeling safe. I like how it is focused on people who just want to build and explore without worrying someone will ruin their stuff. It feels like a cozy place where both new and experienced players can fit in.
The server is on its second season and they reset every three months. That makes the world feel fresh and keeps people excited to start new bases and projects. Right now they are also planning a Valentines build battle so there are fun events mixed in with normal survival.
There are special skills you can level like mining and defense. When your skills get higher the mobs get tougher too so the game is not boring. You can also disenchant items using an anvil and books which is really useful when you get the wrong enchant.
The owners sometimes run big server boosts like extra experience skill boosts and potion effects. There are monthly events and weekly key hunts so there is always something happening if you want more than just mining and building.
Players can make their own shops and set warps to them so trading with others is easy. The server also listens to suggestions from the community so players can help shape how things work. It feels like a respectful community where people care about creativity teamwork and having fun together.

I found this server called EternalSMP and it is a simple survival world that feels like normal Minecraft. It is vanilla style so there are no crazy plugins or roleplay stuff.
The main difference is the world terrain looks better and there are more biomes. Exploring is a big part of it and the world feels fun to run around in.
You can make a team with friends build a base and trade with other players. People can fight and even have wars if they want. You are not allowed to grief bases but you are allowed to steal loot so you still have to protect your stuff.
The owner wants it to stay small like around 15 to 20 players. They just want some people who will play often and see if it can turn into a long term SMP. It feels like a chill place if you like survival and a bit of PvP without scripts or roleplay.

This server is called Syracuse Nation and it feels like a chill place for people who like survival but also big creative builds. There is a normal survival world and a separate creative world so you can grind for stuff or just build cool things without worrying.
The world is on Java 1.21.11 and they let you use a hub to move between the city the creative world and the survival world. The city is still growing and there are vehicles and places to explore so it feels like they want to make it a whole world not just a spawn.
There is a player economy with shops and even a bank where you can store your valuables. There are quests and they said more quests are being added so it sounds like they keep updating things all the time.
The server has cross play using BedrockConnect so people on Xbox and PlayStation can join too which is really nice if your friends are on different platforms. There is proximity chat and an active Discord and the staff say they are helpful.
They say there is no pay to win and the community is supposed to be friendly. The server is still in active development so new features buildings and systems are always being worked on and early players can help shape how the world feels.

Broken Crown Earth SMP Empires

Broken Crown is an Earth SMP that feels like a big group of friends trying to build empires all over the world map.
The map is a custom Earth world and it is made so different areas are better for different crops. This makes people want to settle in certain regions and build up their own lands and kingdoms instead of everyone piling in one spot.
The server is meant to feel mostly vanilla so it still plays like normal Minecraft. The fun part is how players spread out and develop their own empires and try to keep their crown from breaking.
The community seems tight knit and pretty active. People like recruiting new players and forming new groups so it does not feel empty or lonely.
Both Java and Bedrock players can join so it is easier to play with your friends.

Insanely Modded Hardcore SMP Battles

This is a heavily modded Minecraft smp that is built around really hard monsters and serious fights. Mobs are not easy here and the world feels dangerous all the time.
The server uses a big modpack with around 200 mods. A lot of them are performance mods so it is not just random stuff thrown together. The main idea is to make combat and raids feel intense.
You can run raids with different difficulty levels. You can also build full armies using the hundred years warfare mod so fights feel like big battles instead of small skirmishes.
There are also chill things to do when you are not fighting. You can paint you can take photos and you can use radio style features for fun. So it is not only about grinding and dying to monsters.
Overall it feels like a hard but interesting smp for players who like tough mobs huge battles and a lot of mods without everything being a laggy mess.

This server feels like the old school Minecraft I remember. It is a simple survival SMP with no weird gimmicks. You just join and play normal survival with other people.

I found this server called FolksMC and it feels like a tight little community that actually wants more people to join. The world has been running since August this year so it is not super new but not old and dead either.
It is a semi vanilla SMP so it feels like normal Minecraft but there are a few simple plugins. There is a home command so you can get back to your base. There are gravestones so you can find your stuff when you die. There is a Discord to Minecraft chat link so people can talk even when they are not in game.
The server has three main factions right now. They are called The Mercs Hearth and Tabasco. You can tour the server and then pick one of those or you can invite your friends and start your own faction. It seems like they really want people to team up and build things together.
There is a SimpleMineCart plugin so you can travel by rails without needing powered rails. There is a Timber plugin so chopping trees is faster. There is also GSit so you can sit on stairs and relax. The whole server feels like survival with small quality of life changes and a focus on friendly players who want to help build up the world.
