I found this server called TFMC and it is a vanilla Minecraft roleplay server that really wants your choices to matter. You do not need any mods to join. You just hop in and start roleplaying and what you do can change the world.
The theme is a mix of medieval fantasy and steampunk which is pretty cool. The world is fresh and has nations politics and even war between them. You can pick different professions like Smith Alchemist Engineer Miner and more so your character actually has a job.
There are custom mobs and dungeons plus special gear and spells and magic so it feels more like an RPG. The server has MMO style progression with big world events and lore that keeps evolving over time. A lot of the systems are built for roleplay and they can have real consequences for your character and the world.
One of the wildest things is the custom vehicle plugin. You can use planes ships trains and more stuff that you do not usually see in Minecraft. They also use a custom resource pack but it still works with vanilla.
The community is described as welcoming friendly and diverse so it seems like a good place if you like serious roleplay and storytelling in Minecraft.

Relaxed Semi Vanilla SMP Season 2
SurviviaSMP is a relaxed Season 2 survival server that is aiming for a peaceful place to play and just live your Minecraft life.
It stays semi vanilla so it feels like classic survival but it also adds helpful commands like home and tpa so moving around is not a pain.
The server has synced chat between Discord and Minecraft and it also has proximity voice chat so you can talk to people when you are nearby.
There is custom crafting through a command called ecraft where you can make utility stuff like backpacks and an auto smelting pickaxe and a replanter. More additions are planned.
They also say they run active anti cheat and anti xray. If you get a cant connect message they say to try once and it will reboot because of a hibernation system. Version is 1.21.1.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore SMP Vanilla Survival No P2W
Hardcore SMP is a hardcore survival multiplayer server for Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. It is meant to feel like vanilla hardcore with extra stuff that helps multiplayer. The world does not reset and it is not pay to win.
The economy is coin based and it is fully player driven. There are no normal item shops so players only trade with each other. Trading is done with a trading system and an auction house. Coins enter the game from killing mobs and looting chests.
There is a land claiming system so you can protect your base and farms from griefing. If you die your claims get deleted so the land becomes unprotected.
Teleport is limited on purpose. There is a one time use randomtp to find new overworld terrain. There is also home to your respawn point and spawn to go back to Spawn.
The store has one rank called VIP and it is cosmetic only. There is also a revive that works like a full account reset so you can play again without buying a new account.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPOne Life Island War Social Experiment
application only entrycrossplay java bedrockgrind for mineralsSession-Based Gameplaytwo faction islands
I found this hardcore social experiment server where you only get one life and then you are done. It runs on Java 1.21.1 and it also supports Bedrock so more people can join.
The world is split into two islands and they feel totally different. One is a winter wasteland that is harsh but packed with rare minerals and resources. The other is a summer island that is easier to live on but it can get super overpopulated.
Both sides share one global economy so the islands are still connected even if they are rivals. Simple Voice Chat is required for every interaction so you actually have to talk things out.
The whole event is run in weekend sessions so more people end up online at the same time and the power struggle gets intense.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJOIN THIS ATERNOS SERVER NOW
I found a simple Aternos Minecraft server that is open for people who want to join.
It sounds like a small setup where you add the owner on Discord to get in.
If you just want a place to hop on and play with others this is basically that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFair Play Modded Network No P2W
Genesis Gaming Network is a growing Minecraft network that tries to put players first. It is built around fairness and a community that actually talks and listens.
The big thing here is no pay to win. There are no hidden donation ranks and no paid advantages. Ranks are earned over time so active players get perks that other servers usually charge for.
They run and take care of the servers themselves and they just want people to enjoy playing. The network has multiple servers like AllTheMons ATM10 All the Mods 10 To the Sky Artifice and Industry MC Eternal 2 Homestead and Nightfall Craft with more planned later.
The community is small but tight. Expect friendly players active staff and a place where feedback matters.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
