I found this server called EternalSMP and it is a simple survival world that feels like normal Minecraft. It is vanilla style so there are no crazy plugins or roleplay stuff.
The main difference is the world terrain looks better and there are more biomes. Exploring is a big part of it and the world feels fun to run around in.
You can make a team with friends build a base and trade with other players. People can fight and even have wars if they want. You are not allowed to grief bases but you are allowed to steal loot so you still have to protect your stuff.
The owner wants it to stay small like around 15 to 20 players. They just want some people who will play often and see if it can turn into a long term SMP. It feels like a chill place if you like survival and a bit of PvP without scripts or roleplay.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozyMC New Year Vanilla Survival
This server feels like a big friendly world where everyone plays real vanilla survival. It is all about trust and long term players. People build bases and shops without using claim plugins or locked chests and it actually works.
There are no payments or donations or perks. There is no monetization at all. Everyone plays the same and there is no pay to win stuff.
To get full survival access you have to read the rules first and follow the steps. That is how they keep the server safe and make sure new players know how things work.
The owner is super into survival and you can tell the community was built slowly with hard work. If you want a simple survival server with a real trust based community this one is worth trying.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAnarchy Network Semi-Anarchy Vanilla Chaos
I found this server called Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy survival world that tries to feel really close to vanilla. It launched in October 2024 and it runs all the time.
You can join with Java versions from 1.7.2 up to 1.21.10 and they say 1.21.10 is best so stuff does not bug out. The world border is huge and goes out to two million blocks so there is a ton of space to run and hide.
The playstyle is very loose. There are no map resets and no teleport commands so if you go far you really travel. There is no pay to win at all and griefing and PvP are fully allowed so you have to be careful who you trust. The only non vanilla thing you can use is a spawn command so people far away do not feel trapped.
They also allow using the nether roof and they removed phantoms so nights are a little less annoying and only half the people in the server have to sleep to skip the night.
Even though it is semi anarchy there are still some rules. You cannot use exploits or dupes. You cannot build lag machines or spam chat. Harassment and racial slurs are not allowed either.
Overall it feels like a pure survival server with almost no limits where the world never resets and your actions actually stay forever.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOrdinary SMP – Cozy Vanilla Whitelist
Ordinary SMP is a vanilla Java world that feels like a small town server. It is whitelisted so the players are picked to keep things respectful and calm. The server is on version 1.21.11 and they try to stay updated with new features.
The main focus is building exploring and just hanging out with other players. People here like to work on community projects and big builds together. It feels like a place where you can stay for a long time and make a base that actually lasts.
They use tools to watch for griefing or stealing so your stuff is protected. There is a live map with BlueMap so you can see the world from a browser and plan where you want to go. There is also Simple VoiceChat for talking in game which makes it feel more like playing with friends in real life.
The server has dragon Elytra drops so beating the dragon is important. There is a custom resource pack that gives special cosmetics trophies and event rewards and it is kind of like a HermitCraft style theme. Players can also share ideas for new custom items.
There are server wide events like PvP battles build contests and giant group projects. It sounds like they always try to have something going on so it does not feel empty. The whole server is about being friendly building cool stuff and having fun in a safe vanilla survival world.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCracked 1.21.11 Vanilla Survival
This is a cracked Minecraft server running version 1.21.11. It is mostly vanilla and only uses optimization plugins so the game still feels like normal Minecraft.

The owner wants the server to stay as hands off as possible. They work a normal 9 to 5 job and usually play in the evenings or on weekends. They will try to fix technical problems on the server but social problems might not get handled fast. The idea is that people follow the rules in the discord and help shape the kind of chill world they all want to play in.
The server is almost completely vanilla. There are a few quality of life datapacks like multiplayer sleep a coordinates HUD and AFK display. Server side mods are only for performance. Simple Voice Chat is not installed right now and voice chat is not required since the owner is rarely in voice.
