This server is a super classic style prison and it really feels like old 2014 prison. It is not OP at all and you actually have to grind for your stuff.
You start with basic tools and leather armor and you need to mine and smelt your ores. To sell them you have to walk through PVP zones to reach the commissary so it feels risky and intense. Swords and potions are illegal and guards can fight you if they see you with that contraband.
There are ranks that go from A up to Parolee and then Citizen. After reaching the top rank you can prestige for special rewards. You can also rent a prison cell or a prison plot to store items build a small base grow illegal plants or make your own shop and sell to other players.
The server has guards senior guards and wardens who enforce rules protect new players and can even send you to solitary confinement if you act bad. There are quests for extra cash or special items and you can earn money in different ways like mining custom fishing and growing illegal crops.
There is an auction house where players sell items a bounty system where you can put money on enemies and parkour challenges spread around the prison. The whole server feels like a tough grindy prison with a strong community and lots of PVP tension.

The server is whitelisted so it stays safer and more tight knit. They are serious about no griefing and no cheating so the world feels fair for everyone.

BoredomMC is a Java network with two survival worlds that feel totally different. One side is a whitelisted SMP that aims for a mature community and a more chill vibe.
The SMP is vanilla survival with extra datapacks and plugins. PvP is only allowed if both people agree. It runs tools like CoreProtect plus a live map and Discord chat sync. The border expands monthly and the Nether and End get trimmed so new terrain keeps showing up. The world resets once per year around the start of the year and donations are cosmetic only. Whitelisted players also get access to a Creative server and streamers are welcome.
There is also an anarchy world with no rules and no limits. PvP griefing and stealing are all allowed. There are no homes no teleport and no claims. It uses Terralith and Nullscape terrain and it will never reset. There is no whitelist so you can join right away and there is no anti cheat with staff only stepping in for performance and uptime.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCracked Vanilla SMP With Active Players
I found a vanilla survival multiplayer server that lets cracked players join. It usually has around 20 to 30 players so it feels busy.
The community is active and people are on a lot. It sounds like the main point is just normal survival with friends and having fun together.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrabCraft Season 6 Vanilla SMP
CrabCraft is a pure vanilla SMP that keeps the game simple and survival focused with a few quality of life features. It is inspired by HermitCraft so it feels like a server where people build big and stick around.
It has Simple Voice Chat built in so talking in game feels normal and you do not have to tab out all the time. People here do group projects and help each other and it works for mega builders and redstone players too.
The community is tight and chill and the Discord is active for planning events and sharing what everyone is working on. The server is whitelisted to keep random griefing out and they also do regular automatic backups with per chunk rollback protection.
Last season they said over 200 players joined and the server hit 17520 plus hours of playtime so it sounds busy and established.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
