I found Summit Survival and it feels like the kind of Minecraft server that keeps things simple. It started back in 2020 and it has grown into a real community even after a lot of the original friends stopped playing.
It is a hard survival server with keep inventory turned off so deaths matter. There are no land claims so you play more naturally with your friends and the world. Trading is based on raw gold and there is a player run shopping district.
The server has a few quality of life commands like spawn and sethome and it also has night skip. Staff are mostly hands off and they step in for cheating or griefing.
The rules are serious about fair play. No hacking or x ray and no removing lava fog. You are not supposed to mess with other player builds or entities and you should keep a reasonable distance from other bases. Big duplication glitches are not allowed but some small single item dupes are ok.

Waystone is a small semi vanilla survival server that feels like the Hermitcraft style where people actually talk and build stuff that stays. It is made for a long term world with a calm pace and a community that tries to feel like friends.
It is not pay to win and it does not do constant resets. You can build big or small and take your time. There is land claiming so your builds stay safe but it does not feel too annoying.
Deaths are less stressful because your items get saved in a gravestone for a few hours. As you play you also level up skills and get small perks over time and it is not meant to be super grindy.
When you go raiding together everyone gets their own loot so people do not fight over it. There is optional proximity voice chat so you can talk when you are near people or use party chat if you want.
The world has seasons and holiday events and little details to make it feel alive. The server is whitelist only and it runs on Java 1.21.11 and it is hosted in the UK.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCorruption SMP Small Vanilla Lore

Corruption SMP is a very vanilla SMP and it is not a big network server. It feels more like a small friend group world where people actually know each other.
They keep the server small with a member cap under 40. A big thing here is recording videos so there are times when they need more players to show up and help.
If you want to join as a real member you have to apply first with a written application. They want you to talk about how you would add lore to the SMP so the story can grow.
If you do not want to be a member you can still join in as an extra actor for videos and just play along.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Chill Java SMP Starting Soon
