The New Life SMP is a semi vanilla survival server that is all about playing together and not feeling alone. It runs on version 1.21.10 and lets both Java and Bedrock players join so more people can play in the same world.
The server is built around a tight community where every player matters. No one is treated like they are better than anyone else and everyone starts on an equal playing field. Players trade explore and team up so you always feel like you are part of something bigger.
The world has monthly events and the world border expands over time so there is always new land to discover and new stuff happening. There is a fully player driven economy and custom enchantments that make progression feel fresh but still balanced with armor upgrade templates.
The server uses Simple Voice Chat so talking and working with other players is easy. The community is active in and out of the SMP and they like to hang out together a lot. Season 2 just started so new players can join early and experience a new life on the server.
Everyone is welcome as long as they want to be part of a kind and living community and follow the idea that no player is above another.

The Pen MC Old School Prison Grind
The Pen MC is a classic prison server that feels like the old 2014 style. It is barebones and all about grinding your way up instead of getting overpowered gear fast.
You mine and you smelt ores yourself. Selling is not free money because you have to move through pvp areas and actually survive to cash out. The whole point is that progress takes time.
After you rank up through A to H you can reach Parole and then keep going with a prestige system. You are not stuck doing only one thing either. You can focus on mining or try custom fishing to make money or jump into a mob arena with waves and boss fights.
There is also a cookie farming bakery system where you grow wheat and cocoa then bake cookies with custom mechanics. It has long term quests and leaderboards and you can trade baked cookies into higher tier rewards.
The server has guards and contraband rules plus illegal crops for high risk high reward. You can rent cells and plots use an auction house do bounties try parkour challenges and run player shops. It also tries to avoid pay to win because premium stuff can be earned through gameplay.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNEW LIFESTEAL SMP FOR CRACKED PLAYERS

Builder friendly communityClassic Survival Feelminimal plugin setupNo shop advantagesRedstone tinkerer hub
Voidwalker SMP is a 16+ semi vanilla survival server on 1.21.X. It keeps things simple and close to normal Minecraft with only a few plugins for stability moderation and small quality of life stuff.
The big idea is a frontier world. There is a spawn settlement and then you can head out into the wilderness called The Frontier to explore build and settle.
There are no land claim plugins here. Instead the server uses a structured rulebook that acts like a treaty for player rights conflict rules and how territory is respected.
It supports lots of playstyles like building exploring redstone roleplay and PvP. It also has no pay to win and it is friendly for streaming and recording with a brand safe moderation style.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMature Whitelisted Vanilla SMP That Lasts
I found a community based survival server that is whitelisted and aimed at mature players. It is built for people who like to work together and make a world they can stick with for a long time.
The gameplay is vanilla first with a few quality of life changes. Phantoms are turned off and endermen cannot mess up your builds and shulkers drop double shells.
The world border starts small and grows every day and it is currently 5000 by 5000. They also use Simple Voice Chat so you can talk while you play.
They focus on anti grief protection and respectful standards. They also plan to do community events later.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCaliCraft Democracy Survival With Real Power
CaliCraft is a player run democracy server based out of California where you can actually shape what happens. Every two weeks players elect an Emperor and that person can make real choices for the server.
The Emperor can add or remove plugins across gamemodes. They can make laws and even imprison people for any reason including staff. If you get marked as a fugitive you can end up spawning in prison when you die or getting dragged there in handcuffs if you are caught. The Emperor has to follow the Constitution but they can make temporary laws during their reign and some laws can become permanent through a 3 day Discord poll.
There is a lobby that sends you into different gamemodes fast. Modded Survival has custom enchantments plus skills and jobs plus an economy and auction house and custom dungeons and vote crates with strong gear. Vanilla Survival has QOL stuff like quests chest sorting and daily rewards. Skyblock is classic with extra addons.
They also run Cobblemon on a separate Fabric server so you need the Cobblemon modpack to play it. The server has custom content too like a custom resource pack with unique mobs animals elites and dungeon bosses with special drops.
It supports versions 1.17.1 to 1.21.10 and it works on Java and Bedrock.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
