I found a chill modded Minecraft server called The Ferox Concordium. It is run by a small group of friends and the community is welcoming and still growing.
The server is always online and people actually play on it. It is running the Divine Journey 2 modpack on Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2.
Staff and owners are around a lot and they help when you have questions or need help. You have to join their Discord to get verified so they can keep things safe and fun.
It is 16 plus only and you need to be respectful.

GlobalConflict is a survival server where people try to build full nations and fight over a huge Earth map. Players claim territory and set up cities then they try to grow their power.
PvP is on so you can raid and battle when wars start. The whole thing is about diplomacy too so you can make alliances or backstab your rivals if you want.
There is a player driven economy and trade matters a lot. The world feels open and it looks like the first countries are just starting to rise.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHighlandsMC Geopolitical Semi Vanilla SMP
HighlandsMC is a brand new geopolitical Minecraft SMP on version 1.21.11. It is on a normal vanilla world so it is not one of those earth maps.
The goal is to get an active long term player base and grow a community together. The server keeps the vanilla feel but adds a few basic plugins to make stuff less annoying.
You can click villagers and pick them up in your inventory so moving them is way easier. Golden apples are also cheaper with EZ gaps since it takes 4 gold instead of 8. There are a few other small plugins too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMedieval Houses RP Modded Java Server
Kings Gambit is a modded Java medieval roleplay server where the kingdom feels like it is run by the players.
When people join they can start with jobs like city watch servant merchant farmer hunter and butcher. Each role matters because it helps the realm keep going and it ties into the economy.
The land is split between different noble houses. Each house runs its own area and sets taxes for the citizens but they still answer to the Crown since all land belongs to it. Players pick which house they live under then they can build loyalty and reputation and try to rise up in status.
If you like medieval politics and roleplay and making a place for yourself in a kingdom this one is built around taxes hierarchy and shifting power.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
