Syracuse Nation is a survival server that also has a separate creative world. It feels like a chill place where people build cool stuff and take their time.
There is a big city that keeps getting bigger and it even has vehicles and places to explore. Players can make shops and trade so there is a player economy and it feels more like a little world instead of just random bases.
The server is on Java 1.21.11 and it has cross play so people on Xbox and PlayStation can join with BedrockConnect. There is a hub where you can go to the city the creative world or the survival world.
They have quests and they are adding more. There is a bank to store your valuables. You can use random TPA and even your mount teleports with you. The server uses proximity chat so talking feels more real.
The community seems friendly and it is not pay to win. There is an active Discord and the staff sound helpful so it feels like a good place to just hang out and play survival and creative with other people.

ChillGrindSMP – No P2W Survival
anti paywallCasual Buildingchill survivalCommunity Survivalcozy multiplayerFair GameplayFriendly Survivalgrind and buildJava Survivalkeep inventory styleLaid-back vibelight economylong-term worldno donation perksno grief rulesrelaxed grindingSemi Vanillaslow-pacedSmall Communitysurvival hangout
So I found this server called ChillGrindSMP and it is just a simple Java survival world that feels really relaxed.
It runs on version 1.20.10 and it uses ViaVersion so people on a bunch of different Java versions can still join together. That makes it easier if you do not like updating all the time.
The main thing here is no griefing. People are not allowed to wreck your builds or steal your stuff so you can actually spend time building and grinding without worrying about it getting ruined.
There is a gravestone plugin too. When you die your items go into a grave so you do not just lose everything. It makes the server feel less stressful because one mistake does not destroy your whole progress.
They also have a simple player economy. It is not super complex and it is meant to be easy for everyone to use. It fits the chill style of the server.
There is no pay to win stuff at all. No crates and no weird monetization tricks. Everyone plays on the same level which is nice if you are tired of servers that sell power.
The community is small and pretty chill and it feels welcoming if you just want a place to relax grind and build with other players.

This is a Minecraft server running a Valentines themed Build Battle event. The whole point is to hop on and make cool builds around the Valentines vibe and try to impress everyone.
From what I can tell it is focused on creative style building and short events instead of super long grindy gameplay. It feels like the kind of place where you just join in build something fun and hang out with other players for the event.
They are on version 1.21.8 so you will need that to join. If you like building around themes and trying to win little build battles this server looks pretty fun.

Kiri.gg Old School KitMap Beta

This server is trying to bring back that classic HCF and KitMap feeling but with some upgrades that actually make sense. It is a beta map so they really want players to help shape how the server plays.
The main thing here is KitMap. Everyone jumps into fights really fast and the gear is set to Protection II and Sharpness II so it is not super overpowered. There are ability items too but they are balanced so ranked players or people with keys do not get crazy unfair advantages.
The owners want an old school style KitMap but with modern changes so it feels smooth. Pearl mechanics are custom. You cannot pearl through string but you can pearl through fence gates. They say all of this might change because it is beta and they are actually listening to player feedback.
They are also looking for staff. They want people who are dedicated and can help grow the network. Most of the focus is on community feedback bug reports issues and suggestions so players who like testing and helping build a server from the ground up will probably like it here.
