Banana Sandwich SMP is a Java 1.21.11 survival server that is in Season 3 right now. The season is about 1.5 months in so it is past the early game rush and it feels more stable.
People have built up infrastructure and there are active shops in a shopping district. There is also a safe hub on a Mushroom Island so you have a good place to start.
Proximity voice chat is required and it really changes how players interact. The vibe is 18 plus and more mature and chill and collaborative.
The economy runs on diamonds and it is community driven with zero pay to win. There are quality of life extras like invisible item frames custom armor stands and the ability to sit and ride.
There is a Bluemap so you can watch the world change. The end opens in about 2 weeks and the dragon drops an elytra so access stays fair for everyone.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill 18+ Modded Adventures With Friends
I found a laid back modded Java server run by two friends. It is meant for 18 plus players and it has a small group that plays pretty often.
This place is not competitive at all. People just explore together build stuff and talk to relax. The server uses Discord and also has proximity voice chat so it feels like you run into people while you are out doing your own thing.
The main vibe is the journey and discovering things as a group. They want a world that feels lived in and they want more players to join the crew.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSunset Retreat 18+ Cozy Vanilla+ SMP
Sunset Retreat SMP is a seasonal survival world that feels really calm. It is a vanilla plus style server so it mostly plays like normal Minecraft but with a few quality of life upgrades like voice chat extra heads and a map.
The server is for players who are 18 and older and it has a chill mature community. People there just want to relax after real life stuff and play their favorite block game together in a safe whitelisted place.
The owners are active and they actually play on the server. They focus on keeping the world updated and managed so it stays fun for everyone.
There is a diamond based economy where players run their own shops. You can buy and sell items and services using diamonds so the world feels like a little player town.
The server is based in the EU and has an inclusive and welcoming group. It seems like a good place if you want to meet new people hang out and build in a simple survival world without a lot of chaos.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
