NerdNu is a medium sized server that feels very old school and chill. It has a strong community and mostly vanilla gameplay so it feels like classic Minecraft with friends.
The PvE server is survival with no PvP so you only have to worry about mobs. Players team up to build towns and cities and the PvE map reset on September 19 so the world is still pretty fresh. There are regular games on Fridays and Saturdays like spleef thimble and ice boat races plus special events like Daisy's Color Classroom where you match hexcodes to armor dyes.
There is also a Creative server that uses a mix of natural and custom terrain. You can protect your builds and you get WorldEdit for free if you want it. The creative world started a new revision on June 22 2024 and they run community minigames like Spleef and Speed Build on alternating Saturdays.
They even have a Snapshot server that is separate from the other two. It does not run official revisions and is there for people who want to mess around with the latest snapshot style gameplay.
Overall NerdNu is about relaxed mostly vanilla play and doing projects with a community that has been around for a long time.
NerdNu – Cozy Vanilla PvE And Creative
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNameless SMP Whitelist Vanilla Community
This is a vanilla whitelist SMP for people who really like building and being social. It is made for friendly players who want to make cool bases and hang out together instead of just doing PvP all the time.
The server is inspired by Hermitcraft so there is a player run shopping district and people are encouraged to make lore and groups and fun stories. There are a few Vanilla Tweaks style plugins like multiplayer sleep to keep things smooth but it still feels like normal Minecraft.
The community is small on purpose and they want around forty to forty five players max so it keeps that small server feeling where everyone can actually know each other. There is also a separate creative server where members can plan big builds and work together before they do it in survival.
The server is hosted in North America East but anyone from anywhere can join. It is an 18 plus server and they do not allow any NSFW stuff at all. The SimpleVC mod is required for all members so everyone can use voice chat.
They might ask for ID if they think someone is not really over 18 but they only need the date of birth and everything else can be blurred. Applications are reviewed against each other so you should write a good quality application if you want to join.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChaos Redstone Vanilla Survival
This server is trying really hard to be a pure vanilla survival world and also a home for redstone nerds. The owner switched the whole thing to Fabric so a bunch of redstone players could join and they really loved it at first.
When more and more people joined it started to lag a lot. With around 30 players online the tps dropped super low and the game got almost unplayable. The owner is using a strong dedicated pc so that made it even more shocking.
Now the server kind of shows why so many big servers use paper for performance. But the community is still open to ideas and they want people to join and see what it is like. Anyone can hop in and check out the survival world and the redstone stuff and also talk about what could make it better.
The vibe is friendly and a bit chaotic. People are learning what works and what does not and they just want to play Minecraft together even when the lag hits.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRefinedVanilla True Anarchy Vanilla
This server is called RefinedVanilla and it is made for people who want real vanilla Minecraft with almost no rules. It is an anarchy style place so you can build destroy explore and experiment however you want. There are basically no rules except you cannot use hacked clients.
The server tries to stay as close as possible to how Mojang made the game. It uses Fabric so stuff like redstone TNT pistons and tick timings act like singleplayer. That makes it really good for technical players who care about how everything works and want their farms and redstone to behave the same as in their own worlds.
The owner set it up so the performance changes based on how many people are online. The server adjusts things like simulation distance mob caps and render distance to keep the game smooth. So even when more players join it still tries to run well.
There are some extra gameplay notes too. The nether roof is enabled so you can use it for travel. Chunk trailing has been patched. Portal chunkloaders still work but they unload when there are no players near the portal in either dimension.
If you want a place that feels like pure Minecraft and you do not need lots of rules or plugins this server looks like a good fit.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPUneasyVanilla Semi-Anarchy Survival World
UneasyVanilla is a Minecraft server that feels like real old school survival. It is semi anarchy so players get a lot of freedom but there are still some rules to keep the server running good.
The world has been up for over four years and it really shows. When you first join you spawn in a crazy mess of lavacasts and griefed terrain. You have to escape that chaos before you can really start your adventure. After that you can explore the huge world and build bases wherever you want.
The server tries to stay true to the original Minecraft vision. There are no wild custom features. It is basically pure vanilla with a focus on survival and player made stories. You can team up with other players make alliances or just go solo and test your skills.
There is a small relaxed community that cares about fairness. Staff are active and they ban cheaters to protect legit gameplay and server performance. There is still a feeling of lawlessness but it does not turn into total hacker madness.
If you want a long term vanilla world with danger at spawn and big survival projects deeper out in the world UneasyVanilla is a cool place to try.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Adult Vanilla Community Server
This is a cozy vanilla Minecraft server that is only for adults who are 18 or older. The server has been running since 2023 and they are starting Season 5 on January 24th 2026.

Vanilla Flavoured is a semi casual SMP that plays mostly like normal Minecraft. You do not need any client mods to join. The server only uses some server side mods for small quality of life stuff.

This world is pretty new. It was up for about a month of testing before it went public. So you are not super far behind and there is still room to grow and build.
PvP is allowed here so you can fight other players if you want. But griefing and looting bases is not allowed at all. There are systems on the server to help stop that so your stuff should be safe.
You can apply to join with a google form and learn more in their Discord server. The owner seems excited to get more people and see them playing.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSmooth Vanilla Survival Java 1.21.1
