Hello! I run Anarchy Network, a no hack Semi-Anarchy Minecraft server which launched on October 11, 2024. It's intended to be a true Vanilla experience with a 2-million-block world border, no map resets, and minimal rules—just no spamming, exploits, lag machines, or duping to keep gameplay fair and the server stable. There are usually 10-30 people always on depending on whether it's daytime or night. You can read more about the server on my most recent post if you're interested!

You should check out PikaNetwork, their OPPrison just got a full rebrand and it's honestly really fun right now. I’ve been grinding it lately and the updates made it way more enjoyable. Also, if you're looking for something more fresh and updated, give JukeboxMC a try. They’ve got some cool 1.20 gamemodes that are worth checking out!

Im thinking of staring a server soon, im on holiday this week, let me know if ur interested still

Host your own. Or make a friend who does. What version?

It really depends on what you're looking for. Most fairly active servers are good honestly so it really comes down with what kind of server you like

Why Vanilla Pie: There are many servers that are introduced as "vanilla" but all of these servers has small plugins like clear lag / via version and some gamerule changes. Although these are sometimes good, when a server has these, you can't call it vanilla. But Vanilla Pie is a rare server that is actually a pure vanilla server! Also it focuses to be friendly against everyone. So what are you waiting for?

Hypixel is the biggest one ofc but depends on what you're looking for.

Great Community best time I've had on Minecraft in a long time

Possibly the server with the most down-to-earth players-first owner ever

personally the start is the only fun thing (well and the ender dragon fight) but with how easu the game is, at day 2 im at maxed out armor. and i love the game as it is but its way too easy right now

Not to be annoying but does it have keep inventory on (I play on too much with my dogwater classmates so im to used to it also mobgriefing off but thats because i want my builds to stay beutiful and not griefed by creepers)

Genuinely a great server with a growing bunch of chill peeps!

Ludwig's the man with the vision for what kind of community he wants to build, and it shows in the work he puts to building up this server. Worth giving the server an honest hour of your time and getting to know the plugins and people!

Diamond in the rough being polished every day 💖

If you are a fan of incremental games incremental Paradise is a solid server. Isn’t P2W and with a very friendly community also no resets so if you complete the current content you won’t have to worry about it being lost so you can come back anytime

cozymc is a great one to play on!

I'd honestly say 2b2t since it's the grandfather of anarchy and its got such deep lore and a dedicated playerbase

our smp sounds like what you need. vanilla with about 8-10 active adults playing, everyone respects each others builds and theres no drama. pretty relaxed place overall. discord ZaraAdvik for more info

Balerian Union

I think I have what you're looking for it's a small server that is really about making friends enjoying some cobblemon and hanging out, it will probably get bigger with time but for right now it's just a small community , you can join the discord if you so please but you dont have to, it really only helps you talk to people outside the game or get announcements or even help if you need it: https://discord.gg/7bFnTkA9Cd

Here the modpack if you don't care about the discord: https://modrinth.com/modpack/MonSanctuary-Official-Modpack

i also had this problem and made my own server about a month ago, https://discord.gg/FZRGUYfb a decent amount of people live somewhat near spawn and there is 0 things you can pay for beside a donation, and it actually works well

I'm working on creating my own, with augmented random tickspeed, shiny starters, potentially augmented shiny odds, waystones, ridable pokemon, capture exp, and more, if you're 18 or older and you wanna join, dm me on discord : William08082003

Pokexplore is nice (:

I too struggle to find a server I like. I ended up making my own but it's basically just me and has nothing fancy that most others have. I'm also still trying to find one that isn't just me but they all have weird stuff, things I don't like, or like... they're filled with random holes and square box houses. I did find one but it was shut down like a week after I joined.

Poggers and fun server

I recommend Foxomy. I've been using this hosting provider for nearly 2 years and they have not let me down. They have many features on their panel that they’re actively developing and releasing, so it’s super nice knowing that it’s a host that continuously improves based on feedback from us.

One of my favorite features is that they let you create multiple servers on one plan. I can easily switch between my different modded minecraft servers without deleting any progress. You can have multiple servers running at the same time on one plan, or be like me and dedicate all of your server memory to only the active server.

I believe their newest flagship feature are the borg backups. They now let everyone take 50 server backups regardless of plan. It’s really 50 backups and that’s not a typo. I set my backup schedule to run every 3 hours, so that means I have 6 days worth of backups that I can restore from.

They’re the best imo and I’d always recommend them to everyone. I believe you'll love the CPUs, performance, and features they offer. 

Hey I would recommend Vyper Hosting but that may be a bit biased :p

We have high performance and low cost Minecraft Java Hosting. We also have a friendly support team to help with anything you may need :)

I have a slight urge to say Aternos

I've had nothing but good experiences with CloudNord. Decent prices, good hardware, extremely nice and helpful support team.
