LuckyGem is a 1.21.11 vanilla survival SMP server that just started a new map. It is made for people who want to play long term and keep things chill.
The server is whitelisted so you have to apply to get in. It supports Java and Bedrock cross play so more friends can join together.
It stays close to vanilla but it has QOL plugins and Simple VC. PvP is not allowed and the playerbase is respectful and welcoming.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPShadow MC Semi-Vanilla Crossplay SMP
Shadow MC is a semi vanilla SMP that is made for both Java and Bedrock players. It lets everyone play together so it feels like one big world.
The server has custom biomes and structures so exploring feels different from normal Minecraft. There are quality of life plugins that try to keep the game close to vanilla but still more comfortable to play.
The Nether is open but The End is closed so the main focus is survival and building in the overworld. TNT duping is not allowed and mob griefing like creeper explosions is turned off so your builds are safe.
The community is friendly and welcoming and there are frequent events so you are not just playing alone all the time. It feels like a place where you can join today and slowly become part of the group.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
