I found a small laid back Minecraft server run by a few friends who want more people to play with them.
It is modded and the mod list is curated so it adds lots of stuff like new monsters and weapons and armor plus mounts and resources and furniture and cosmetics.
Even with the mods it is built to run well. It uses Fabric and it is meant to be easier on lower spec PCs.
The main vibe is exploring and building and discovering things together. It is not competitive and it is not for people who only want to play solo.
People talk in Discord and the server also uses proximity voice chat so you can run into someone and just talk while you explore or build or team up.

The server is vanilla on 1.21.11 but it uses some server side mods and datapacks to make things smoother. Stuff like Simple Voice Chat and Audioplayer are on here plus things like Armor Poser Vein Miner Lumberjack head drops and double shulker shell drops.
You do not need to install anything to join and play. There is also a recommended mod pack if you want the best experience. The whitelist request is quick and only takes a couple minutes.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Reset True Vanilla SMP Chaos
Straight Up is a vanilla survival server that is trying to feel like Minecraft the normal way. It is a forever world and the overworld has not been wiped since April 1st 2019. That means there is a lot of history and old places to find.
There are no shortcuts like /tpa or /home. There is also no currency and no factions and no economy stuff. It stays focused on survival and traveling and building the hard way.
PvP and griefing are allowed and there are no land claims or protected areas. You can also use proximity chat if you want since it supports Simple Voice Chat but it is optional.
The server is optimized to run stable and it has an anticheat that is meant to be unintrusive and keep things fair.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
