I found TrootheSMP and it is a friendly cross play survival SMP that tries to keep the survival feeling the whole time.
The world runs in seasons and Season 5 is happening right now. The seasons are made to last long enough so people can actually build big bases set up player shops and work on community builds without getting wiped all the time.
It is not an 18 plus server but everyone is expected to act mature and be respectful.
It also has a few extra features that are meant to help with building and quality of life. There is Discord integration with account linking and updates. The economy is item based with physical player run shops. There are land claims to help stop griefing. It also supports Simple Voice Chat plus things like armored elytra and villager leashes.

Cobblemon Tech Magic Modpack Server
I found a modded server that runs a big custom modpack that is basically cobblemon with a huge tech and magic side too. They did a recent restart to fix issues and remove some overpowered stuff so it feels more fair.
There is a spawn area and some npcs. Player shops are being worked on right now so trading should keep getting better.
The pack is stacked with tech like storage systems and big machines and building automation. It also has a lot of magic mods with spells and upgrades and more loot style progression.
They want everyone to be respectful and just have fun with whoever you meet. They also say you should have at least 16 GB of ram and it can run fine if you tweak your settings.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew Earth Map Economy Server
I found a new Earth Minecraft server that is trying to build a big player base over time.
The main goal is a player run economy where people can trade and build up their own stuff.
There is also an online Earth map you can use to see where you are in game which is pretty helpful when you are exploring.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPClassic Skyblock With Ores And Redstone
This is a skyblock style server for players who miss that classic sky island grind and all the goofy setups that come with it.
The cobblestone generator can sometimes pop out ores so you can keep progressing without leaving your island.
Redstone works so you can build dumb mob farms and wild contraptions for food or money.
It also has handy commands like fix and feed so the grind feels smoother and more chill.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBloodlines Invite Only Hardcore Civilization
MC Bloodlines is a new hardcore SMP server that is invite only and built around people making civilizations together.
You do not just join whenever you want. Only players who already got invited can invite new players. It helps the community stay active and keeps trolls out.
There are secret tweaks and mechanics that players have to discover on their own since there are no official guides. If you pay attention and keep trying you will learn more over time.
The server also has a clan and family system so you are not just alone when you start. You get invited into a group and become part of a story that keeps going even after you.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPModded Squad Warfare PVP Weekly Events
Frontline Combat is a modded server that is all about squad based team pvp with a battlefield style feel.
They run regular events every week and they keep trying to make each one better. The server also uses their own custom mods and content so it feels more unique.
It is Java only and they are trying to grow the player base so more people can join the fights.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
