This server is called Sparked and it is a long term dedicated SMP. It is all about building and hanging out with people in a mature adult environment. The players all come from different backgrounds but they play kind of like Hermitcraft while still trying to stay original.
When you join it feels very vanilla and very simple on purpose. There are no giant walls of text and no constant pop up messages. There are no warps and no land claims and only a few quality of life changes. It really feels like you just joined a world that a friend started for fun.
The admins stay involved with the community and they work to keep the server running well. The server is trust based but there are mods in the background that can protect builds if something bad happens. The owners also try to be transparent about server costs server specs and bans.
They use some Vanilla Tweaks style datapacks like more mob heads armor stands stuff proximity voice, a map tool and player heads. The whole thing is focused on a relaxed mature social SMP where you can build and play for a long time.
Sparked SMP – Mature Vanilla Vibes
NextLevelHub Crossplay SMP and Pixelmon
NextLevelHub is a long term Minecraft community with two main places to play. It supports Java and Bedrock so more friends can join together.
One option is a survival realm that keeps the classic survival feeling. The world is meant to last so people can build big projects and actually make history. The vibe is friendly and non toxic and they want no griefing and no drama.
The other option is a Pixelmon server on the latest version. It has tournaments and PvP events plus legendary spawn events. The gameplay is balanced and they say it is not pay to win.
They are mainly looking for active players who want to stick around. Builders grinders and battlers all fit in. 16 plus is preferred for a more mature community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Crossplay Chill Survival SMP
I found a cozy survival SMP that lets people play together on Java and Bedrock. It supports Java 1.9 to 1.21.11 and it is crossplay.
The world is a little progressed but it still feels early. The most active time is usually GMT-6 afternoons.
They want a few chill long term players who like to build and chat and help grow a small community. They are not planning resets so it is more about relaxed survival vibes.
You have to join their Discord to read the rules before you play.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad PVP With Weekly Events

This is a place where an experienced Minecraft developer is looking to help server owners and also meet new friends.
They have been making custom plugins datapacks and Discord bots for about 12 years. They say if you can describe what you want they can build it and if it does not exist yet they will figure it out with you.
They can make stuff for lots of gamemodes like survival skyblock lifesteal prison SMP and minigames. They also mention custom challenges and events like the kind you see going viral on YouTube Shorts.

I found a server listing that is really more about a game server hosting company run by one person. They took feedback and dropped prices on some of the bigger plans.
They say every plan still has DDoS protection NVMe storage daily backups and full panel access. They also say there are no contracts and you can cancel anytime.
They seem pretty open to feedback and they want people to tell them if the pricing still feels off.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
