This server is a survival world that feels really raw and old school. It is vanilla style and you are on your own almost all the time. There is griefing and pvp so anything you build can be destroyed and anyone can kill you.
The world is from 2014 and it never reset. That means there is tons of history and old bases out there if you can find them. Nothing gets wiped so every block placed might stay there forever unless someone blows it up.
There are no cheats allowed like hacking or duping items. You also do not get stuff like RTP or TPA. You have to walk or ride everywhere and survive using your own skills.
The chat is very free. You will not get banned for what you say unless it is illegal stuff. There are no chat reports and the admins are not clingy. They do not follow you around and they just let players do their thing.
If you like rough survival where players control the world and nothing is safe this server fits that vibe.

Vanilla Demon SMP With Big Border

Vanilla Demon is a fresh survival SMP for people who want a calm place to play and meet a friendly community. The server is still pretty new so it is looking for more players to help it get going.
It has land claims so your builds and items can stay safe. The world border is huge at 60 million blocks so there is a lot of space to explore and settle.
PvP is allowed and there is a spot at spawn where keep inventory is on. Outside of claims it is real survival PvP without keep inventory. It keeps a mostly vanilla feel but adds helpful commands like home tp and wild so getting around is easier.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTaerel Network Dark Fantasy Modded SMP

I found Taerel Network and it is a modded SMP that leans hard into a dark fantasy feel. It has lore about finding a sealed gate and stepping into a strange portal place with an azure sky. From there you head into a colorful world that still feels risky and unknown.
The server runs custom modpacks and the biomes can be different depending on the server. The world is meant for exploring and settling in, with a spooky night vibe and weird sounds out in the dark. The staff is said to be friendly and active and the owner is around and willing to help.
The big thing is there are no resets so the map is planned to stay permanently. It is whitelisted so you have to get approved before you can join.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTrue Vanilla Anarchy Done Right
Dynamic view distancefabric based backendhigh player performancenether roof accesspatched chunk trails
I found RefinedVanilla and it is a true vanilla anarchy server with basically no rules except no hacked clients. You can build destroy explore and just do whatever you want in a world that stays close to how Mojang intended.
It runs on Fabric instead of Paper or Folia so stuff like redstone TNT pistons and tick timing act like single player. That makes it feel right for technical players who care about real vanilla behavior.
They also have a custom Fabric fork with multithreading to help it handle higher player counts. The server can change simulation distance mobcaps and render distance to keep it running smooth.
Nether roof is enabled. Chunk trailing is patched. Portal chunkloaders can work but they unload when there are no nearby players in either dimension.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNO RULES Survival Playground Server

I found a Minecraft server that is pretty irregular and it is made for people who want to play with no rules.
It is trying to build up a community so you can join and just mess around and do your own thing.
The server runs on Paper for version 1.20.6 and it has a discord you can get to using the command in game.
