The Pen MC is a classic prison server that feels like the older 2014 style. It is barebones and focused on grinding and surviving instead of getting overpowered fast.
You rank up from A to H and then you can reach Parole. After you max ranks you can prestige and you get to pick how you keep progressing. You can mine the classic way where you smelt ores yourself and you take risky trips through pvp zones to sell. You can also go for custom fishing for good money and rewards. There is a mob arena with waves and boss fights for people who want combat money and shards.
There is also a cookie farming bakery system where you farm wheat and cocoa then bake cookies with custom mechanics. It has long term cookie quests leaderboards and you can turn cookies into higher tier rewards.
The server has guards that enforce contraband rules plus illegal crops for high risk high reward. You can rent cells and plots use the auction house set bounties and deal with solitary confinement and parkour challenges. Premium stuff is not meant to be pay to win since everything you can buy can also be earned by playing.

I found a semi anarchy survival server that is about staying around for the long run. Most servers wipe and this one does not so your builds and progress can actually matter.
PvP is on and raiding is allowed and griefing is allowed. It also keeps it simple with no pay to win stuff no kits and no land claims so you have to survive off what you get.
It has /tpa and a homes system that is based on voting. The server runs on a dedicated machine in Germany and it aims for smooth 20 TPS.
It supports crossplay so Java and Bedrock can play together with consistent mechanics. There is active moderation for spam hate speech and server breaking exploits. The map is about 4 months old and the community is smaller and more focused on long term builds.

This is a calm survival server where people mostly just build and hang out. It is made for players who want a cozy place that feels safe and chill.
PvP is not allowed so you do not have to worry about getting jumped. The world is meant to last with no resets so your builds can stay there long term.
It also says no pay to win and it runs on both Java and Bedrock so more friends can join. The gameplay feels mostly vanilla with a few cozy tweaks.

VanillaSMP is a server for people who want real vanilla Minecraft. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks. It stays on the latest stable vanilla version.
The spawn is not fancy and there is not a big rule book to read. You are expected to handle your own social problems with other players. You can play how you want and build what you want.
There is no tp and no sethome so you travel the normal way. Technical players are welcome and the server keeps all the weird vanilla quirks and challenges.

ScaleBound SMP is a modded survival SMP with a brand new world and a chill vibe. It has over 120 mods so there is a lot to learn and mess with from day one.
Players can explore big custom terrain with continents and islands. There are tons of extra places to find like better dungeons and upgraded strongholds plus more mineshafts and new villagers. You can also run into dangerous Ice and Fire creatures while you travel.
Building is safer because land can be claimed with FTB Chunks so griefing is not the point here. There is also an economy and server ranking systems.
If you like tech you can build machines with Create and Steam n Rails or go for bigger automation with Industrial Foregoing. For survival stuff there is more food and fishing with Farmer’s Delight addons and Aquaculture 2 and Untamed Wilds.
Storage and travel are easier with backpacks and storage mods plus Waystones. There is also JEI and Simple Voice Chat. You can even watch the world on a live BlueMap web map.
