Vanilla Touch is an SMP that is trying to feel like real Minecraft again. It is made for players who want that nostalgic vanilla style and do not want a bunch of extra stuff.
This server started over 7 years ago and it got recreated with the same goal. It runs 24 7 and the main idea is to keep things stable while also protecting the builds and items that players make and earn.
If you want a true vanilla place to play and stick around for the long run this one looks like it is going for that.

LegacyMC is a vanilla survival anarchy server that feels totally raw. It is an open world where you can do what you want and nobody is stepping in to fix it.
There are no rules and no land protection so griefing raiding and PvP are all part of life here. There is no teleporting and you have to travel the real way.
The world started in June 2025 so it still feels like a place where you can leave a big mark. The server is always online and hosted on dedicated hardware in Australia so it is built for low lag in Australia and New Zealand.
It also has no pay to win stuff and no monetisation. Donations are not needed and they say they will never ask for them. You just join and play with no whitelist and no extra steps.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFoggy Willows Real Vanilla Survival
Foggy Willows is a server I found that is going for real vanilla survival. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks so it plays like the game is supposed to.
The spawn is not some huge confusing hub. You just get in and play. It is hard mode and there is no tp or sethome so travel matters and you have to plan stuff.
People are expected to handle their own social problems. You can play how you want and build what you want. Technical players are welcome too.
The world has no border and it stays on the latest stable vanilla jar. There are no donations and it is self hosted on a purpose built machine. Java only and it has a Discord.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFoggy Willows Real Vanilla Survival

Authentic Tick Timinghigh player performanceminimal moderation styleportal loader buildspure survival gameplay
I found RefinedVanilla and it is a true vanilla anarchy server with basically no rules except no hacked clients. You can build destroy explore and just do whatever you want in a world that stays close to how Mojang intended.
It runs on Fabric instead of Paper or Folia so stuff like redstone TNT pistons and tick timing act like single player. That makes it feel right for technical players who care about real vanilla behavior.
They also have a custom Fabric fork with multithreading to help it handle higher player counts. The server can change simulation distance mobcaps and render distance to keep it running smooth.
Nether roof is enabled. Chunk trailing is patched. Portal chunkloaders can work but they unload when there are no nearby players in either dimension.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAustralia Vanilla Anarchy No Rules

Hemisphere SMP is a Hermitcraft inspired semi vanilla survival server that has been running on the same world for ten years with zero resets. It is built around a long term community where people build big projects do redstone make lore or just hang out.
It runs Java 1.21.11 on Fabric and tries to keep things feeling like real Minecraft. There is proximity voice chat plus custom audio discs and quality of life stuff like armor statues more mob heads and wandering trader tweaks. They keep vanilla mechanics and do not do teleporting or overpowered plugins.
The server has themed build districts and a minigame district with community game nights. Players also do events like Secret Santa builds and there is a big custom Decked Out style dungeon made by a community member.
You have to join the Discord and apply before you get full access. You can get spectator access first to fly around and explore while you wait for whitelisting.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
