I found a modded SMP that is built around a zombie apocalypse and it uses a fungal spore theme with a huge ruined city vibe.
It is player driven and roleplay is welcome so people can make their own stories. Factions are starting up fast so you can join one or make your own.
The server is PvPvE but you are safe inside your own claimed land. Bigger teams can claim more territory. If you kill someone you might start a revenge war because their friends could come back for you.
There is a whitelist and you apply with a quick form. You also need Discord and a Minecraft Java account to play.

A player started a new nation named Solutus and they are trying to get it going. Right now they do not have members so they are looking for people who want to join and help build it up.

Ultimate Hardcore is a hardcore SMP where death is the end and it stays that way. There are no revives and no second chances so every fight feels serious.
The world does not reset and it is huge at 300000 by 300000 blocks. PvP is on and raiding and griefing are allowed everywhere so danger can show up any time.
It sticks close to vanilla but has some plugins that make hardcore more intense. You can get player heads and you can loot a dead players Ender Chest. It also has Simple Voice Chat and deep stat tracking plus some quality of life stuff.

AvalonEarth is an EarthSMP style server with a big 1 to 500 map so there is tons of space to explore and claim land.

Golden Nations is a harsh survival server where players build nations and fight over land. It is all about diplomacy war economy and plain survival. The world is made to feel serious and unforgiving.
It runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 and the map starts at 5000 by 5000 then expands as more people join. You can join on any version because of ViaBackward.
Travel is slower and more important since there are no elytras. There are also no villagers so you cannot spam easy trades. Crafting is harder with custom recipes and netherite crafting is kept strict with no shortcuts.
The server pushes building and logistics. Roads make you walk faster and powered rails make minecarts go faster too so nations that build good infrastructure get an edge.
There are custom systems like a grindstone rework that lets you pull enchantments into books. Farming is reworked for realism and balance. Fishing has custom drops with rare catches. You can also silk touch spawners to move them for defenses and builds.
Maces are limited with only 10 on the whole server. Each player can craft just one and enchantments are restricted so they feel like real legendary items.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRealm of Thrones Survival War SMP
I found a survival multiplayer world that feels kind of prehistoric but also modern at the same time. The map is locked into a 3500 by 3500 square so everyone is close and you keep running into other players.
The whole vibe is kingdoms and neighbors. You can make peace or you can start fights. You never really know if the people near you will turn into a big trading group or just become total war criminals. It is basically kill or be killed if you want to keep what you have.
Players can build up power with resources and even working machines then they have to defend it. There is talk about fighting for oil and the stuff that keeps your progress going. Some places can turn into a pacifist safe spot for people on the run.
The server is still new and the owners say they keep improving it. They also say they listen to popular suggestions so the gameplay can change as people join and claim spots.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDeadMans Land Classic Factions Kill Or Be Killed
