Spugunke is a new survival SMP that feels really community focused. It is semi vanilla and made for people who like long term worlds and playing together for a long time.
The server is all about player made towns and teams. Anyone can start a town or join one and build shared bases farms and big projects. Some teams can focus on pvp or exploring or gathering resources. You can also play solo if you want and still fit in because it supports both competitive and relaxed players.
Rules are relaxed but still fair. Griefing stealing and random killing are not allowed. Pvp is only allowed when everyone agrees first. That means town or team battles can still happen but they are organized and not just chaos.
Spawn is supposed to be a real community area instead of just a spot to appear. Players can build there and hang out so it feels like a shared city. People also like to be social and a lot of players are on at the same time and talk in voice calls while they play so it feels like a real group of friends.
Spugunke lets Java and Bedrock players play together with full crossplay. It only uses vanilla enhancing plugins like tpa sethome spawn protection and logs for grief protection so the normal survival feeling is still there. Moderators are also needed as the community grows so early players can really help shape the server.

New Vanilla Season Starting Soon
I found a survival server with a small community around 90 players and it is opening very soon.
It runs on 1.21.11 and it is almost completely vanilla. The only changes are anti x ray and some admin stuff.
They also use a register plugin so cracked players can play and nobody can steal their name.
The cool part is the community decides what the next season should have so it feels like players actually matter.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPForsaken Realm Mod Test Server

ArcticMC is a new survival server that started just a couple days ago. It is an SMP with Towny and faction style play so you can build a town and claim land then make allies or fight over territory.
PVP matters here but it is meant to stay fair since there is an honor system and it is explained in their Discord rules. The server also uses McMMO so you level up skills while you play like mining and combat and you can unlock special abilities.
It has custom items and they even have furniture that is entity based. They also use Tectonic world generation so the terrain has big mountains and nice valleys and it feels more realistic.
The community vibe is calm and friendly and more about chilling and exploring than pure chaos.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPurpleSMP 1.21.11 Chill PvE With Optional PvP
PurpleSMP is a small survival server that is trying to feel relaxing and stable so you do not have to keep hopping to new places. It runs on 1.21.11 and it is built around building and exploring without worrying about random griefing.
PvP is not forced since it is off by default but you can toggle it if you want to fight your friends. There are land claims so your base can stay protected and there are player vaults for extra storage when your inventory is full.
The server uses mcMMO so grinding resources feels more fun and you can level up skills. The economy is fully player made with no currency and no server shops so trading is about what people think items are worth.
They also take rules seriously with strong anti cheat and staff alerts plus logs for blocks being placed or broken. Your inventory gets backed up when you join or leave and when you die so staff can review and restore stuff if a rule was broken. There is no world border so you can travel out and find fresh land for huge builds.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
