Smithtainment Minecraft is a survival server that feels close to vanilla but with some really cool extra features. It is on hard mode and it has MCMMO jobs leveled mobs and a separate resource world. The staff have clearly spent a lot of time making a custom spawn and there is even a PvP arena under it.
You can earn playtime ranks that give more perks the longer you play. There is a balanced in game shop and also an auction house plus player made chest shops so the economy is very player driven. There are commands like rtp home sethome and warps so it is easier to get around.
One of the unique things is what happens when you die. Instead of just losing your stuff forever you get sent to a fairy that lets you buy back the items you dropped. There are also custom enderdragon fights where players can team up to take down the dragon together.
The server has been part of the Smithtainment Gaming community that has been around for over ten years. The community feels pretty welcoming and they help new players get started. The server is currently on Minecraft Java 1.21.10 and it is made for people who like survival and want a place that can feel like an online home.

EchelonMC Custom SMP Built To Last
build ranking systemcurrency progressioncustom code gameplaypublic build tourstoggleable movement perks
I found EchelonMC and it is a fully custom survival server for Minecraft Java. It is built for long term building and teamwork and community progression.
It is not a server for PvP stealing or griefing. It has advanced land claiming with visual borders and lots of protection options like TNT fire spread raids and fluids.
There are custom systems like auto pathing that makes paths under you and gives speed bonuses. You can toggle it. You also earn Echelites currency just by playing and spend it on progression and utilities and quality of life.
It has teams with custom nametags plus public chunks so people can visit builds and you can earn rewards from visitors and climb build rankings. Deaths make timed graves for your items and there is a /back to help you recover after teleports.
The server is actively developed and it is meant to evolve with player feedback. Version 1.21.11 is recommended and older versions are supported. It is hosted in Canada and it has a spawn hub with NPCs plus voting rewards discord linking and anti x ray protection.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy No PvP Forever Survival
CozyCraft is a chill survival server that feels like it is made for building and taking your time.
There is no PvP so it stays calm and there is no pay to win stuff getting in the way.
The world does not reset ever so anything you build can stick around forever. It is mostly vanilla so it keeps that classic Minecraft feel.
You can join on Java or Bedrock and just focus on making something you are proud of.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPANARCHY UNBOUND EVERYTHING IS ALLOWED
Anarchy Unbound is a lawless survival server where players get total freedom. There are no rules and no bans and no protections. Admins do not step in so whatever happens is on you.
The world is huge with a 1,000,000 by 1,000,000 border so you can fight near spawn or vanish far away. There are no resets so every base and crater stays as server history.
Duping is allowed if you can figure it out. Nothing is explained and nobody is going to hand you answers. People guard info hard because it can change everything.
If you want pure anarchy with griefing raiding betrayal and shaky alliances this place is built for that. There are no pay to win mechanics and no safety nets so you survive by being smart and tough.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPElysium SMP Adult Whitelist Creative Worlds
Elysium is a small Java server with multiple worlds and it is looking for more players who are 18+. The server used to be public in 2022 then it closed at the start of 2024. Now it is back with a fresh new server that reopened in early November.
There is a Survival world on 1.21.10 with a 10k by 10k border and mcMMO skills. It tries to feel more vanilla because teleport commands are off except for home bed. People travel using a Nether roof system and there is a spawn shopping area with chest shops that use diamonds.
There is also a Plots world with 85 by 85 plots so builders can work in private. You start with one plot and can earn more as you move up build ranks.
Creative has a superflat freebuild world for bigger community builds. You can build together if everyone agrees and you are not allowed to mess with other peoples builds without permission.

Community build nightscosmetic extras packcurrent release readyplayer-driven economyShopping plaza builds
This is a community centered survival server that feels like a Hermit style SMP. It is made by the players and the server changes come from community requests and polls.
The economy is based on diamonds and there is a shopping district. People also work on public builds and bigger projects together. A lot of players use proximity chat so it feels more alive when you run into someone.
It stays close to vanilla but still adds some fun quality of life and cosmetic plugins. You can set homes too.
It is Java only on Minecraft 1.21.11. It is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only. Usually there are around 5 to 20 people online and there are lots of active regulars with groups that want new members.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
