BackToBlocks is a simple survival server that tries to feel like vanilla but with a few quality of life extras. It supports both Java and Bedrock players so more friends can join in.
The spawn area is built by the community and the server runs events sometimes. There is also a decorated Nether Hub and a decorated End Island to explore.
Players can set up shops in a shopping district and trade with each other. There are light commands like sethome and tpa and the server also has itemflip so you can gamble items just for fun.
The rules and vibe are pretty straightforward. No pay to win stuff and it is not focused on PvP. PvP and raiding can happen but only within limits and griefing is not allowed. It is mostly about survival community and building cool things.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSurviviaSMP Custom Terrain Survival Grind

SurviviaSMP is a survival server that is all about exploring weird new land instead of the same old vanilla views. The terrain is custom in every dimension so you keep running into new mountains and biomes while you travel.
If you like hunting for stuff there are custom structures too. You have to go really far from spawn like 10000 plus blocks to find the rare ones.
It also has Slimefun so you can build machines and grind through a bunch of progression. There is a skills system so you can level up and get abilities.
Quality of life stuff is here too like sethome and tpa. You can trade items and even XP from anywhere. You can also summon your own horse when you need it.
There is a Limbo dimension you can reach from spawn or by using the limbo warp. Chat is linked between Discord and the game in real time. The server is on version 1.21.11 and they say they keep improving it based on player feedback.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEU Lifesteal Chaos With Combat Lock

This is a European Lifesteal server where fights actually matter since hearts go up when you kill someone and go down when you die. If you run out of hearts you get banned. New players get a 1 hour grace period so you can learn without losing hearts right away.
It has simple homes and a teleport request system so meeting up is easy. There is also a battle lock that stops you from using commands during PvP and it hits combat loggers by swapping them with a killable NPC that drops their stuff.
I also saw anti cheat for extreme speed cheats and a chat system that blocks heavy spam. There is a vote token shop for custom name colours and custom MOTDs. Stats like playtime kills and deaths are tracked and you can get rewards at milestones. Nights can be skipped when people vote by typing goodnight.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCustom Lifesteal SMP And Open SMP

I found a community that is running two Minecraft servers right now.
One is a Lifesteal SMP that is whitelisted so you need to get approved to join. The other is a Custom SMP that is open so anyone can hop in.
Both servers use custom plugins and they also use some public plugins for basic stuff like homes and teleport requests. It feels like survival with extra systems made by the server.

I found Malgazar SMP and it is a chill survival server where people are not supposed to mess up your builds. It is meant to feel friendly and active and it runs on Purpur. The server is hosted in the UK and it uses Minecraft 1.21.11.
The rules are serious about no griefing and no stealing and no scamming. PvP is not allowed unless both people agree and slurs and drama are not allowed. X ray cheats seed maps and duping glitches are also not allowed and you are not supposed to harm other peoples pets or animals. If you break rules you can get locked in a cage for some time or get banned.
There are some QOL stuff like keep inventory and explosions not breaking blocks. There is veinminer and mcmmo skills and a mod that can roll back grief and show who interacted with blocks. You can also teleport to other players. Fishing has extra rare loot and the world border is set to 15k with outer end islands resetting every week.
It usually has around 13 players online and about 400 overall. Most people live near the hub around -1k -1k and the Java and Bedrock IP info is shared in the Discord.

MinecraftOffline is a European server that feels like survival with a bunch of custom plugins to make it different.
You can set a home and warp back with simple commands and you can also request teleports to other players. There is a lifesteal mechanic too so killing players gives you more hearts and dying takes hearts away. If you lose all your hearts you get banned. New players get a one hour grace period so they will not lose hearts at first.
PvP is more serious because commands are blocked during fights and combat logging gets punished. If someone logs out in combat they get replaced with a killable NPC that drops their items.
