This is a small Minecraft server called AwesomeSMP. It was made by a couple of friends and it is just a simple vanilla world where you join and play how you want.
There are no crazy plugins or anything wild. You just log in and chill and do normal survival stuff and have fun with other players.
The server is mostly about hanging out and building and playing together. If you want a basic vanilla place to relax and play Minecraft with people this server fits that pretty well.

Electron SMP is a new semi vanilla server that feels almost fully vanilla. There is not a huge mess of plugins and the world feels simple and clean.
Spawn is built in an Infuse style and right now there is only one lava cast. The owners really want players who will lava cast the area and slowly turn spawn into something crazy and chaotic.
This server is made for people who actually play. You are expected to grind gear and get stronger. You are supposed to PvP and raid and build power over time. It is not for players who join look around spawn for a few minutes and then quit.
The rules are really light. No hacking and no slurs. Almost everything else is fair game so grief and chaos around spawn is totally fine.
The server is very new so early players will decide how wild the spawn becomes. If you like the energy of DonutSMP and want almost pure vanilla gameplay this server feels really close to that.

This is a vanilla survival server with a really tight and active community. It is all about normal Minecraft survival with no crazy game changing plugins.
The server has player made lore that just happens on its own like wars and rivalries but you do not have to join if you do not want to. You can be a passive player and still enjoy the world.
There are public farms that everyone can use and a shopping district where people trade and build their own shops. It feels like a small town where everyone knows each other.
Griefing and hacking are not allowed. If someone does grief the admins have plugins to undo the damage and find out who did it. PvP is allowed but only if you want to take part in it.
The server only uses some light plugins like anti cheats and other stuff that does not change the vanilla experience. Players can suggest new vanilla style plugins like proximity chat and there is a good chance they get added.
It runs on the latest Minecraft version but people who like earlier versions can still join and play.

SwiftServers is a Minecraft hosting platform that is actually free and still feels pro. It runs on AMD EPYC Rome with dedicated RAM and fast NVMe storage so it does not feel like one of those laggy free hosts.
You can make servers for simple vanilla survival or for heavy modpacks. There is a custom control panel they coded from scratch. It is super light and fast and it looks modern. You can deploy a server in just a few seconds and start playing.
They have one click installs for popular modpacks like Better MC and RLCraft and All The Mods and some Modrinth packs. There is enterprise level DDoS protection to keep servers safe. There is also a built in backup system so you can create and restore backups instantly.
You get 1 GB of dedicated RAM and 10 GB NVMe SSD and a 1 Gbit per second uplink. They do not cap player slots so your community can grow as big as it wants. There is no credit card needed and no hidden fees. You just join and start your world.

This is a survival SMP that feels really old school and honestly kind of scary but in a fun way. It is all about melee based PvP so people fight with swords and not with crystals or anchors. The server is made for players who like real risk and who are fine with raiding and griefing.
The world has a big overworld plus nether and end so you can run far away and build or stay near spawn and get into fights. The map never resets so bases and ruins stay forever which makes everything feel more serious.
There are rules to keep things fair but the play style is still very harsh. You are allowed to raid grief team up or betray people. There is a combat tag system so you cannot just run away with elytra and there is a cooldown on totems to make sword fights more balanced.
The server is mostly vanilla but there are a few small commands like teleport ignore and sethome to make life easier without changing the survival feeling. There are no money plugins so the economy is just trading with other players.
TNT duping with pistons and slime is turned on so people can build farms or crazy destruction machines. The server is for Java players and also bedrock players using geyser so more people can join the same world.
