I found a vanilla SMP that is doing a fresh start for Season 2 on March 14 at 9AM AEST and everyone begins together with no early access.
The first week has a 1000 by 1000 world border and the Nether is closed. In week two the border expands and the Nether opens. The End unlocks two weeks after the Nether.
PvP is only allowed if both players agree. Griefing and stealing are not allowed. It is mostly vanilla with light management tools.
Spawn is a flat plains area with rivers around it and some villages nearby. Last season day 1 hit over 20 players and whitelist applications are open now.
Fresh Start Vanilla SMP Season 2
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP1K Border Lifesteal SMP With Spirit Mode
I found a Lifesteal SMP that is locked into a 1,000 by 1,000 world border so it stays packed and stressful. It is all about PvP strategy and survival and it is meant to feel competitive.
The lifesteal system is simple. If you kill players you gain hearts. If a player kills you then you lose hearts. Mobs do not change your hearts.
The cool part is the custom Spirit Mode they coded. When you would die at 1 heart you turn into a spirit instead of being gone. You drop your inventory and you cannot interact attack or pick up items. You are invisible and invulnerable and you get 30 minutes to survive like that and the timer keeps going even if you log off. During that time you can follow people and watch where bases are.
If the spirit timer runs out you get sent back to spawn and your hearts reset to 2. Then you go back to normal survival. They want people to stay in the game longer but still feel pressure the whole time.

Ordinary SMP is a vanilla survival server on Java 1.21.11 and it stays up to date. It feels like a tight community where people build together explore a lot and just hang out.

It also has a live BlueMap so you can look around the world. There is Simple VoiceChat for talking in game plus an AudioPlayer for custom audio. The Ender Dragon also has elytra drops.

PeaMC feels like classic Minecraft survival where you just play the game and nothing is yelling at you with commands. There is no teleporting and there are no land claims so you travel the world the normal way and build like it is singleplayer.
It is a whitelist server so it is harder for random trolls to get in. The community is meant to be chill and the owner and mods are active in both Minecraft and Discord.
You can play on Java and Bedrock with crossplay from 1.7x to 1.21.11. PvP is allowed but there are rules to keep it from turning into griefing. Stealing from bases and breaking bases and killing pets and spawn killing are not allowed.
New players get one hour where PvP is off for them so you do not get farmed right away and it can be turned off if you want. Some destructive PvP like crystals and TNT and beds and anchors and minecarts is not allowed since it can wreck builds. Maces are banned too.
There are teams so you can group up with friends. The server uses a few small plugins but it tries to keep the vanilla survival feel.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Adult Vanilla Plus SMP

The vibe is relaxed and community driven. People work on a shared shopping district community farms and big group projects instead of messy spawn chaos. There are no planned resets so players can take their time and finish megabases and big infrastructure builds.

I found a hardcore survival SMP called LUMI HARDCORE and it is mostly vanilla with one big rule. You only get one life.
If you die you do not come back right away. You end up in an infirmary until the next reset and there are no revives.
The world resets every 60 days so each season uses a brand new seed. That means nobody keeps a huge head start for long and everyone gets a fresh start together.

The world has a small but growing border so players stay closer together. The border increases every 1 to 2 weeks.
Staff are super understanding about item loss or pet loss and even when you get annoyed trying to find stuff. They can help you out for the right diamond price.
There are small roleplay and lore parts. It is build focused so if you mainly want PvP then this is not the server for you.
