The Anthill SMP is a vanilla style server with some nice quality of life plugins. It runs on version 1.21.11 and it focuses on normal survival gameplay.
The server is made for players who are 17 or older. It is based in the UK but they are happy to have players from all over the world. The community is meant to feel fair and welcoming and the goal is to meet new friendly people.
They have anti griefing measures so your builds and items should be safe.

AvalonEarth is an earth style SMP with a 1 to 500 scale map so there is a lot of space to spread out and build your own nation. It is based on Towny so towns and nations are a huge part of how the server works.
You start with enough money to make a nation right away. You do not have to grind for hours or meet some weird player requirement before you can actually claim land. That makes it feel way more fair and you can jump into the geopolitics fast.
The server has already finished one season that started in September and it built a strong community. Now it is in the second season and it is doing really well with lots of new players and around 40 to 50 online during peak EU times.
There is a ton of conflict and wars for players who like fighting and strategy. But if you do not like war you can still live more peaceful and try to avoid battles. There is also KOTH events and a custom player head system where killing someone drops their head and you can sell it while they lose a bit of money.
Money is mainly made with jobs. You can be a Hunter a Lumberjack a Miner a Fisherman or a Farmer. That gives everyone different ways to earn cash and makes the grind feel more fun and less boring.

This is a Bedrock OG style OP Prison server that is all about a real grind. It feels like one of those old school prisons where you actually have to work for progress.
The dev is active and the server gets updated a lot. They just did a big round of fixes. There are more than twenty custom enchants that have been fixed and rebalanced. Combat feels cleaner now because knockback got cleaned up too.
Outposts were adjusted so they feel better to fight over. The shop got updates and now splash pots are part of the game so fights and grinding feel more intense.
A bunch of dupes were patched like kits dupes auction house dupes and coinflip dupes. So if you are tired of broken prisons where no one fixes exploits this place is different. It is clearly being watched and maintained.
If you want a Bedrock only OP Prison that actually gets attention from the devs and is made for people who like a real grind this server is worth trying.

The Mace SMP – Only 3 Maces
base raidingbetrayal allowedclutch momentsCompetitive PVPcustom weaponsHardcore Feelhigh stakesIntense battleslimited itemsloot focusedno pay to winplayer alliancesPlayer Politicspower strugglePvP SurvivalStory-Drivenstrategy combatSurvival Smpteam warfarevictory or loss
This server is called The Mace SMP and it is a survival multiplayer world where only three maces exist at all. That means every fight and every plan is built around who holds these weapons and who is trying to steal them.
Each mace is different. There is a Breach Mace a Density Mace and a Wind Burst Mace. Players use strategy pvp alliances and even betrayal to control them. If someone manages to combine all three they can make one max mace that has all three enchants.
The whole server is high stakes pvp with limited power in the world. Fights actually matter and battles can change how the server feels. Players create their own stories by teaming up or turning on each other just to get a mace or protect one.
It feels like a world where the whole community revolves around these three items and every move could be the play that wins or loses everything.

The Pen – Nostalgic Classic Prison Grind
auction tradingcell rentingClassic Prisoncommunity-drivenCompetitive PVPcustom fishingfarming profitsguard gameplayHardcore Economyillegal itemsMining Progressionnon op ranksold school grindPlayer ShopsPrestige ranksprison roleplayPvP-focusedquest rewardsrisk reward zonesSurvival Prison
This server is a classic prison style world that feels like the old days before everything got super overpowered. You start with basic tools and leather armor and you actually have to grind to rank up. It is all about mining smelting selling and taking big risks in pvp areas to make money.
The ranks go from A all the way to Parolee and then Citizen. When you hit the top rank you can prestige for special rewards. There are guards watching the prison and they protect new players and enforce contraband rules. Swords and potions are illegal and if a guard sees you with them they will fight you.
You can rent a prison cell or a prison plot to store stuff build or make your own shop. There are also special custom plants that are illegal in the prison. You can grow them in your cell for profit but you have to hide them from guards. There is custom fishing quests for extra cash or items and an auction house for trading.
The grind is pretty tough because you have to smelt your ores and then walk through pvp zones to reach the commissary to sell them. No instant sell here. There is solitary confinement that guards can use for bad behavior and there are bounties if you want to hunt enemies. There are parkour challenges spread through the prison too. The whole server feels nostalgic and focused on community and hard work instead of free gear.
