This server is called CaveMC and it is on Season 2 right now. The whole overworld is a giant cave world so there is no normal surface at all. Everything is underground with different biomes resources and structures so it feels super weird but also really cool.
It is semi anarchy survival so the world is pretty brutal. People can fight and grief and only the most clever players really last. The gameplay is still kind of vanilla but it has custom world generation that real Minecraft devs made so it looks and plays different from normal.
Season 2 adds a huge new thing called the Wasteland Dimension. It is not just a biome. It is like a whole extra place to explore. There is brand new gear you can only get there so combat and survival change a lot. There are big mega structures with secrets and loot so exploring actually matters.
The Wasteland also has its own currency and a new economy so players can trade and do more player driven stuff. There is a new spawn for this season that fits the Wasteland vibe. The map is custom generated and has special features and tricks so it is not just a normal world.
If you like hard survival underground bases and crazy exploration this server is all about that. It is for players who like danger and want to live in caves instead of on the surface.

WILD HUNT Awakening RPG SMP Crossplay
I found The Wild Hunt Awakening and it feels like a real RPG world inside Minecraft. You pick a class and you learn skills so fights feel more like spells and combos than normal survival.
There are NPCs that feel alive and you can make powerful custom items. The server pushes you to team up because there are wild bosses and deadly dungeons that are meant for a party.
If you like fighting other players there is PvP too and you can use your arcane skills. It is crossplay for Java and Bedrock so more friends can jump in.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAdults Only SMP With Big Server Features
