DarkHorseMC is a survival server that mixes pve and pvp in a pretty cool way. Most of the world is about exploring and building and surviving. You can make your own base and try to build up your legacy in factions.
If you like pvp there are custom arenas and a MobArena where you can test how strong you are. If you do not want to fight all the time you do not have to because pvp is more optional and focused in those spots.
There is also a player economy so you can try to get rich by trading with other players. The server grew out of the old TeamExtreme community so it has that feeling of a big shared world and a spawn area that the world grows around.
Faction building and teamwork are really encouraged. The server aims to balance survival pve with chances for pvp fights so you get adventure strategy and community all in one place.

This server is called Java Survival and it is all about legit Minecraft survival. Every block is mined and placed by hand so it feels super real and not like a crazy plugin mess.
They do not use the normal plugin packs everyone always has. Instead they have their own custom plugins for basic commands and land protection so the server feels different from most other SMPs.
The server is semi vanilla and it is for players who are 13 and older. It is not fully family friendly but there are rules. No super offensive language. No politics or other drama topics. No hacking cheating or using exploits. Do not mess with other players stuff and do not build too close to them. Be respectful be kind and no advertising.
The owners really want this to be a main home server that lasts a long time. They keep the server updated and they care a lot about the community. Players get a say in what happens and it does not feel like it is just for staff.
The server has a history with multiple seasons and they are now on their third world. They say they are not going anywhere so it seems good if you want to build long term and be part of a stable survival world.
