I found a OneBlock server called LegionCraft and it is all about building up from your own island and grinding to get stronger.
There are challenging bosses and when you beat them they can drop keys. You can use those keys for rare loot and there are crates with epic gear and rewards.
You can also use chunk hoppers to automate parts of your island. The server says it is not pay to win so it feels more fair if you just want to play and grind.

I found a server that runs Minecraft events and they are almost always themed around Origins. They do apps for new events and they also have a modded zombie event in the works that is taking a while.
Most events split players into 2 or 4 teams and each team gets a specific origin. The host says it is over a week but from past events it usually ends up being about 4 days.
The next event is free for all and you get to pick your own origin. They also warn that the rules are more lenient than a lot of event servers so people should read the rules first.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSwiftServers Free Hosting Zero Nonsense
