Andromeda is a semi hardcore modded Minecraft server that is all about making your own character and roleplaying with other people. It is a 16+ server and it is whitelisted so you have to apply first and explain your character and what you want to do.
The setting starts in Corsicana which is a small coastal town that lives off trade. It is the only known town on a huge unexplored land and people follow a strange trail of stars to reach it. From there you can go explore and help shape the bigger story.
The roleplay is civilization style so players can become leaders explorers farmers builders and more. People make factions businesses industry and an economy while they chase their character goals.
Gameplay uses a three lives system so each character only gets three lives. If you lose all your hearts you can enter a downed state with a 5 minute timer and other players can rescue you.

I found a community that is running two Minecraft servers right now.
One is a Lifesteal SMP that is whitelisted so you need to get approved to join. The other is a Custom SMP that is open so anyone can hop in.
Both servers use custom plugins and they also use some public plugins for basic stuff like homes and teleport requests. It feels like survival with extra systems made by the server.
OTH is a whitelisted Survival server made for adults who have busy lives but still want a calm place to play. Most players are around 30 to 40 plus and they want a relaxed and creative vibe.
It is pure vanilla on Hard difficulty and it is a peaceful server with no PvP or griefing. The rules are kept simple so it does not feel weird or strict.
The world does not reset so you can take breaks and come back later and your builds and items will still be there. The server is US based privately owned and focused on being stable and lag free.
It has been running for almost two years so it is a good spot if you want to plan a big build and make friends. It supports Java 1.21.11 and it is a 21 plus community.
Rattata SMP is a new survival server that is trying to feel as close to vanilla as possible. It is run on Paper and it supports both Java and Bedrock players.

The server uses a whitelist and it has a live map. There is an optional simple voice mod if you want it. It also has Core Protect so staff can check what happened with blocks.
Nexara is a sci fi roleplay server set on a giant colony ship that feels like a whole city. Most of the roleplay happens on the ship and it keeps expanding because players build onto it as the story goes on.
The main gameplay is about player interaction and story progression. People gather resources from planets then bring it back to improve the ship and keep the roleplay moving. Staff run plots so there is usually something new happening and it is not just slice of life.
There is a short whitelist process before you can fully join in. The community has players from lots of regions so it is easier to find someone to roleplay with. The server also says it supports and affirms 2SLGBTQIA plus players and other diverse backgrounds.
The lore starts with pioneers waking up from cryosleep on a project meant to reach an Earthlike planet called Hestia. Something went wrong since most of the crew is still asleep and the ship is missing a lot of promised features. Now everyone has to deal with what they woke up to and shape what happens next.
StellarMC is a relaxed survival server that started as a small friend group back in August 2023. Now it is a friendly place where people try to keep things fair and fun.
It stays close to vanilla so it feels like classic Minecraft. It also has a few quality of life tweaks so playing feels smoother without turning into a gimmick server.
The server is whitelisted so it feels safer and more tight knit. Griefing and cheating are not allowed and the staff takes fair play seriously.
The world resets every 6 months so things stay fresh and balanced. It is hosted in Europe and it supports both Java and Bedrock on version 1.21.11.
EverythingMinecraft is a whitelisted survival server that tries to stay safe and chill. You have to verify by email so it cuts down on trolls a lot.
