Stormy Lagoon is a long term survival server with a fair feel and no pay to win stuff. It has a tight community and staff that stays active and keeps updates coming.
It supports crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can play together. Progression is a big deal here with daily missions and quest milestones plus playtime ranks so you move up just by playing.
The server has custom gear like levelable tools weapons and armor with abilities. There are also custom combat items like a special trident shield and spear.
You get a player driven economy so you can trade and run shops. There is skill leveling with mcMMO and activity rewards like Pearls and Diamonds.
There are monthly resource worlds so you can gather fresh stuff without wrecking the main world. You can also use an RTP menu to jump across five different worlds.
Claims help stop griefing and you can toggle PvP on or off so fights are consensual. You can also set tags and join messages and make canvas art on maps with artmap.
Stormy Lagoon SMP Crossplay No P2W
The Stash Network Chill Semi Vanilla
I found a light hearted Minecraft network called The Stash and it feels more personal than the huge servers. It started as a community from SCP Secret Laboratory and it grew into a tight group that actually talks and remembers people.
The main mode is a Towny style SMP built for long term play. They do not plan to reset unless a major world change breaks things. It also has mcMMO and some quality of life stuff.
There is also a classic Skyblock mode where you start your island with a command and build up over time or compete for ranks. If you like building there is a creative plots server so you can test ideas and show off.
For players who want more action there is a combat mode with kits and 1v1 fights plus some PvE focused stuff. The server supports Simple Voice Chat so you can talk to nearby players in game if you use the mod. It runs on version 1.21.11 and it is hosted in Central US.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAvalon RPG SMP MMORPG Adventure
Avalon RPG is a survival style Minecraft MMORPG where you play as a Guardian trying to defend Avalon from darkness. It feels like a big adventure world with lots going on and it is built on top of vanilla gameplay with a huge stack of plugins.
There are 7 classes you can pick from like Warrior Mage Rogue Paladin Summoner Cleric and Marksman. The server has 6 story chapters with over 200 quests and 300 plus NPCs so there is always someone to talk to and something to do.
If you like fighting there are dungeons boss battles and 14 raid bosses with daily loot drops. You can also go for custom skills magic weapons and armor then team up with other players to raid together.
Building and social stuff matters too because it uses a Towny based kingdom system where you can join or create a kingdom. There is also crates banking auctions and a global market plus custom fishing and crafting.
The rules are simple with no griefing or stealing no scamming and be respectful and ethical with common sense.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSmall Semi Vanilla SMP Starting Soon

It sounds like it is meant to stay close to vanilla survival with a small group vibeGG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHIRING STAFF For New Server Build
This is a Minecraft server that is being built right now and the team wants to make it long term and high quality. They are looking for dedicated volunteer staff to help get it going.
They are taking all positions like helpers and moderators and admins. They really need developers and a content team and they also want asset creators for custom skins models textures and other cosmetics.
Everyone starts as Helper unless you can prove strong experience. They say it is to build trust and keep it fair and make sure people fit the team.
For developers they prefer Paper or Spigot plugin experience and Java knowledge helps a lot. For creative people they want experience with skins models and textures. To apply you join their Discord and open a support ticket then share your experience and how you want to help and the owner will follow up with questions.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill SMP Hangout With Claims
I found a newer SMP that is meant to be a chill place to hang out and play survival.
It has a claims system so you can protect your builds. It also has an unconventional economy and some custom features.
The vibe is laid back and more about chatting and building. The owner is new to running a server so some stuff might be messy and there could be bugs. If you notice problems or have ideas you are supposed to tell them.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
