I found a small community Java survival server that has been running for about 8 months and it is meant to be long term with no wipes planned. It is 16 plus and the people there seem to want a calm and more mature vibe.
The gameplay feels close to vanilla since it uses plugins and not mods. There are no claims and there are no locked chests. There is also no home or teleport commands so you actually travel and build like normal.
Building is a big deal here and people make themed group areas. There are ancient styles like Aztec and Egyptian. There is medieval and a modern city theme too. You can also build sci fi or magic areas plus underground and Asian inspired zones.
They use proximity voice chat and you have to use it. If you like slower progress big builds and long projects this server looks like a good fit.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCaveMC Season 2 Underground Semi Anarchy
CaveMC Season 2 is a Minecraft server where the entire overworld is underground. There is no normal surface at all. Everything you do happens in huge caves with their own biomes resources and structures.
It is a semi anarchy enhanced vanilla survival server so the world is harsh and survival feels brutal. Grief and PvP are expected so only really smart and tough players last long. There are no easy safe zones and you have to fight for gear and places to live.
The server has custom world generation that was made by real Minecraft developers so the cave world feels huge and different from normal. You explore deep tunnels find resources and build bases all under the ground.
Season 2 also adds the Wasteland Dimension. This is a big new area with its own custom generated map. In the Wasteland you can find brand new powerful gear and really big mega structures full of secrets and loot. There is also a special currency there that creates a new player driven economy and new trade options.
There is a new spawn made for this season that fits the Wasteland theme and gives everyone a fresh start. If you want a tough cave only world with semi anarchy rules and a crazy new dimension this server is made for you.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
