This is a hard difficulty semi vanilla survival server that is made to feel really close to single player. The server is tuned for high performance so farms and redstone work well and the game still runs smooth.
You get a lot of freedom to build. Big redstone builds and mega projects are welcome. There is a large world border so there is space to spread out and work on long term bases and projects. The server does not reset so you can plan for the long run.
The gameplay uses normal vanilla game mechanics including spawn and mob farm mechanics. All vanilla duplication methods work except for gravity block duping like sand dupers. It is also very hard to xray here which helps keep things fair.
There are some simple quality of life features. You can use home points and chest shops which unlock automatically. There is a land claim system to protect your builds and a balanced vanilla style economy. PvP is optional and it protects your stuff so you do not just lose everything.
The server has rules and guides for new players like how to claim land and create chest shops and how chat works. It is built to be a long term survival world where people who like technical play and building can relax and still be challenged.

I found a modded Minecraft server based around the Tensura mod. It sounds like one of those wild servers where things might break fast if an admin is not around.
The vibe is chaotic but fun and it seems like the main goal is just to play with the mod and see what happens. If you like messy modded gameplay and do not mind random problems then this place is probably for you.
Most of the info is shared through their Discord and they are trying to get more people to join and hang out.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP24 7 Cracked Semi Vanilla SMP

I found a Minecraft SMP that runs 24 7 and it is cracked so more players can join.
It is semi vanilla with just a few plugins so it still feels like normal survival. You get stuff like RTP and Home to move around and save your spot.
The main features are the Altar plugin and the Trims plugin. It is meant to be a simple survival place where people can play and hang out.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Anarchy Vanilla Survival No Resets
I found a semi anarchy survival server that tries to stay really close to vanilla. It started on October 11th 2024 and it is hosted in New York City in the USA.
It runs all the time and it lets you join from Java 1.7.2 up to 1.21.11. They say 1.21.10 is best so stuff works right. The world is massive with a 2 million block border and it is meant to last since there are no map resets.
It is basically play how you want with PvP and griefing allowed and no pay to win. There is no teleporting and the only command they allow is spawn so players far out are not stuck forever. Nether roof is allowed phantoms are removed and it takes only half the players to skip the night.
They still block the worst stuff like exploits lag machines duping spam and harassment or racial slurs in chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP4 Year No Reset Adult SMP
HomesteadCraft is a Java SMP for adults only and it is 21 plus. The world is about 4 years old and it does not do map resets so big builds can stay and grow. The map just expands when updates happen.
It is a small chill community and they try to keep it low drama with no kids. There is no required playtime so you can play when you want.
The server runs on Java 1.21.11 and has a few QOL plugins. Stuff like one player sleep claims for anti grief Aura skills and a loot plugin. Most plugins can be toggled off if you prefer.
There are also resource worlds for the overworld and nether plus an End resource world that resets weekly. There is a player run shopping district and a Gaming Island too. Difficulty is normal.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
