I found a chill vanilla survival server that is whitelisted and made for a small community. It feels relaxed and casual and it is meant to be a place to build explore and hang out.
They keep rules pretty light and they do not want people griefing builds. PvP is allowed though so you can fight if you want to.
It runs on 1.21.3 and it has a few tiny quality of life plugins. The world border is set to 10k for now and the server is hosted in Germany. All ages can join and they may add new features later if the community wants it.

This server idea is all about slowing down Minecraft so it takes way longer to beat the bosses and finish big goals. It is meant to feel like vanilla but with more challenge and a bit more stuff to do.
The world would have less ores so gear takes longer to get. Enemies would spawn more and they would be harder along with the bosses. There would also be more rewards for beating bosses so the grind feels worth it.
It also talks about adding vanilla like mods for structures and loot plus some enemies from other Minecraft games. There is supposed to be a little more post game content too so it does not just end fast.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Whitelisted Survival With Lasting Builds
