I found a friendly Minecraft survival server in the EU with a community that started in the Netherlands. It has about 12 regular players and they want more active people from nearby countries so the world feels more alive.
It is an open survival world where you can build together on group projects or just do your own thing. You can also join small groups and help with community projects when you feel like it.
The rules are simple. No griefing and no stealing. PVP only if both people agree. Respect other builds bases and private areas. Be normal and respectful in chat and Discord. Dupes are allowed but no lag machines or stuff that can mess up the server.

There is optional proximity voice chat so you can talk in game if you want. The server also has event houses and community builds where you can join a house and earn points for it.
It uses a custom datapack and some quality of life mods to make vanilla feel better. For safety there are anti grief plugins like CoreProtect.

Most days are pretty calm and simple. Builds grow slowly and sometimes people work together so the world feels alive but not chaotic.

I found a brand new Java SMP running on Minecraft 1.21.11. It is meant to be small and friendly so people can just play and hang out.
It already has EssentialsX and GriefPrevention set up. That means you can get some helpful commands and also protect your stuff from griefing.

Planet One is a small modded survival server that feels like a long term project. The world has been running for a while and the owner does not plan to reset it. Instead the idea is to update the pack only when most mods move to a new version.
The modpack is built around Create and Botania plus other mods that make the world feel more alive. There are cool seasons and sound effects and the terrain has a lot of surprises underground and in the hills. The main focus right now is trains and railways and there are mods just for that so there are tons of chances to make big rail systems.
This is a whitelisted server and it is run like a friendly SMP. No griefing and no raiding are allowed. People are expected to trust each other and respect builds. It is more of a building and chill survival server than a speedrun place.
The owner has a busy job and mostly plays in the evenings and on weekends. They are looking for players who are also busy in real life and not rushing the game. If you just want to beat the dragon fast and grind netherite this is not really the right server.
There is a Discord where players share screenshots talk about ideas and chat. In game chat is linked to the Discord so people can talk even when they are not online in Minecraft.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermitcraft Style Bedrock Whitelist SMP
This is a Bedrock only whitelist SMP that is on season 2. It is built to feel kind of like Hermitcraft with a smaller and close community.
The server runs on hard difficulty and keep inventory is turned on so you can do big projects without losing everything. There are land claims to protect your builds and griefing is not allowed at all. They want people who already know how to follow normal rules and be respectful.
The world is hosted on a private dedicated server and the map is huge so everyone can spread out and build mega bases. Some players already have really huge and complex builds. If you want the world files or the server structure for your own builds they will share that with members so you can keep your stuff for later.
There are a few addons like mini blocks plushies and simple things like teleport to players and set home which makes moving around easier but it still feels like survival.
You have to get whitelisted and there is a short screening process so random griefers do not join. The server is for people who want a long term survival world and a trusted group to play with.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
