This is a chill whitelist survival server that feels like a big friend group. It runs on Minecraft 1.21.10 and is Java only. There are usually a few people on all day and a bigger group of regular players who come back a lot.
The main thing that stands out is proximity voice chat. You can talk to people who are near you in game which makes exploring and building way more fun. The voice mod is optional so you can still play if you do not want to install it.
The server uses plugins like jobs so you can earn money by doing normal Minecraft stuff like mining and chopping trees and then unlock extra cosmetics and commands. There is a random teleport you can use once to find a place to live. There are also plugins to lock your chests and doors and CoreProtect is there to roll back damage or theft if something goes wrong.
You can change your player height and do fun things like sit on stairs and slabs. There is also a world map you can view in a browser so you can see where everything is and plan your builds.
The server gets regular updates based on what the community suggests and votes on. It is made by the players for the players and it is focused on being friendly and community centered.

This is a lifesteal style Minecraft server that is trying to be more balanced.
From what I can tell the main idea is that you fight other players and steal their hearts but it is not super broken. It is made so battles feel more fair and not just one shot.
It seems like a place for people who like PvP and survival together and want some challenge without everything being totally crazy.

Extract SMP is a survival server that feels really chill and active. It is not pay to win and it is made for people who just want to play and explore and hang out.
The server supports both Java and Bedrock players so more people can join and play together. It runs all the time and it is made to be smooth and lag free so you can build and fight without everything freezing.
The community is friendly with players who like to talk and use voice chat and the staff seem welcoming too. It has a vanilla plus style so it feels like normal Minecraft without crazy mods and you can just focus on normal survival.
There are weekly events like build battles raids and treasure hunts so it does not get boring. The community is growing fast and they are trying to hit a big goal by the end of the year. If you want an active survival server with chill people this one feels like a good pick.

Campfire SMP is a small 18 plus server that is trying to last for years and not just a few weeks. It is a semi vanilla survival world with no resets and a whitelist so it feels more like a long term home than a random server.
The world has a 20k by 20k border so there is still a lot of exploring to do and they plan to expand it with big updates. There is already a shopping district with a diamond based economy plus shared stuff like nether highways a battle arena and a Christmas area.
The server uses Purpur 1.21.9 and is self hosted 24 7 on strong hardware so it should be pretty stable. They run some plugins and datapacks that are mostly for quality of life and admin tools like Coreprotect Bluemap simple voice chat custom armor stands mini blocks player heads and a few others. You do not get easy commands like slash tpa or slash home so it keeps that real survival feel.
Most players hang out in voice chat on discord while they build work on projects play other games or just talk. Everyone has to be 18 or older and a lot of people are in their twenties thirties or even older so it is more of a grown up chill vibe. They want respectful players who want to help build a long lasting community and they seem excited to invite new people in.

Hydro SMP is a long term vanilla survival world that feels like a chill home. The server is always updated to the latest version and they only use performance mods and moderator tools so the gameplay stays vanilla.
The community is really big with over a thousand people in the Discord and a lot of them have been there for years. Players vote on server decisions so it is very community driven and everyone gets a say.
The server has a very strict no griefing rule. Staff can roll back and inspect player actions and they do not tolerate griefing or cheating at all. It is meant to be a safe place to build and play without losing your stuff.
Even though it is vanilla they use a custom resource pack to add things like custom hats signs and banners. These are only cosmetic so they do not change the game balance. They also use some small tweaks like Dragon drops elytra and extra slab and stair options.
The server runs on strong hardware in Germany with a Ryzen 9 CPU and a lot of RAM so it stays smooth and close to 20 TPS. They watch performance very closely so survival feels lag free.
If you want a stable long term world with a serious no grief rule and a big community then Hydro SMP seems like a good place to join.
