I found a Java 1.21.1 survival SMP that is meant to stay small and feel like a real community. It is focused on long term play where your builds and progress actually matter.
It keeps a vanilla survival feel but adds quality of life stuff like tpa and sethome. There is also a player shop system so people can trade and build an economy.
They have crates and daily kits plus a daily crate and tokens you can spend. Proximity voice chat is available but it is optional.
Events are starting soon with PvP and group events where you can win prizes. The world is planned to be long term with no resets so you can commit to big projects.
Realm of Thrones is a small crossplay server where people build nations and try to grow into the top kingdom.
You can build up your own kingdom then level it up over time. Some players go for peace and trading while others go for fighting and conquest. The whole vibe is strategy and community stuff with empires forming and clashing.
There is a money system and ranks that go up with play time. As you rise you get more access and more prestige so it feels like you are always progressing.
You can also use configurable tech parts to make factories and try to become a big industry player. There are quality of life upgrades too so it stays fun with things like legendary fishing to sell, crates, a server shop, player shops, jobs you can level, and McMMO skills. They also just added around 25 quests and it is new and still being tested.
This is a long term Minecraft server that supports both Java and Bedrock players.
It looks like you join through their Discord to get the server IP and connect with the community.
I found a server called Gaia Legends and it is super new like about a week old. Even with a low player base it feels really polished and well setup.
It is semi vanilla and it has custom items plus jobs and other extra stuff. The cool part is it is easy to understand and everything feels simple to use in game.
There are crates but it does not feel pay to win. It sounds like you can get the crate stuff just by playing normally.
The owner is really active and seems to care a lot about the server and helping it grow. If you want to join a server from the start this one seems like a good pick.
Everdawn Saga is a Java 1.21.10 server that is still being built up before Season 0 starts. The big idea is that players get to help shape the world early and be part of how it turns out.
It has different chat ranges so you can talk in global or keep it local and even use shout or whisper. It also uses a D&D style dice roller and a stats sheet so roleplay and character moments feel more real.
The theme is medieval and it has a pantheon for lore. Staff are around to help and there are lore masters that can help you build your character before the season begins. Joining is done through an interview.
