SmartieSMP is a Minecraft server that actually plays like real vanilla survival. There are no gameplay changing plugins and no homes or teleports and no weird economy stuff. You start with nothing and anything you get you have to earn.
The whole world is shaped by players. People build bases and farms and empires. There are conflicts and alliances and you can make your own legacy. Player skill really matters here like farming and redstone and PvP and defending your base.
The server staff is active and they only focus on the important rules so things stay fair. There is one small quality of life feature which is a simple combat log system just so PvP stays fair.
A new season is starting soon so it is a good time to join. New land is coming and new stories and everyone can help shape the world from the very beginning.
The server runs on Java Edition 1.21 to 1.21.9 and it is whitelist only. They want active players who like pure vanilla survival and also some new team members who want to help grow the project. If you are tired of servers full of plugins and pay to win stuff this is the kind of world you might like.

DeadMan's Land is a Minecraft Java server that feels like classic factions with survival at the center of everything.
People team up and form factions then they build up bases and try to grow into a big empire.
It is all about PvP and raiding rivals and taking their stuff if you can pull it off.
The server also runs custom events and the fights are meant to feel balanced so it stays fair but still brutal. The vibe is basically kill or be killed.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHaven SMP Chill 18+ Semi Vanilla
Haven SMP is a chill long term survival server that feels inspired by Hermitcraft. It is player driven so the world grows from what people build and do together.
It is an 18+ community with friendly respectful players. There is no forced lore and no pressure to do PvP so you can just build and collaborate.
The server runs on version 1.21.11. People say the world has a weird after the end kind of feeling but it is really just a place where everyone stayed and kept building over time.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRatchy SMP Lifesteal Vanilla Chaos
I found Ratchy SMP and it is a survival server that is mostly vanilla but it uses modpacks too.
The main one mentioned is Lifesteal so players can take hearts and you can also turn hearts into items with a simple command.
The commands are meant to be easy and the owner said they made it for fun. They also said the server can be down sometimes for mod maintenance and you can comment if you want to add mods.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh LifeSteal SMP Fair PvP Start
I found a brand new LifeSteal SMP that just opened and it already had around 10 active players at the start. It is a paid host and it is made for people who want real PvP and want to test their skills.
The server has a 20 heart limit and a 10k world border. There is also a 3 mace limit. Bedrock players are welcome too and it runs on version 1.21.11.
It is trying to stay fair because there are no admins and even the owner does not have OP. There is spawn protection and rules against killing naked players or spawn killing.
It also has regular survival plugins like villager in a bucket and string dupers so it feels like the usual grind but with higher stakes.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
