When Cities Rot is a modded SMP built around a zombie apocalypse. It uses the fungal spore and Lost Cities mods then stacks on more like Create and TaCZ plus other extras.
The server feels player driven and roleplay is welcomed by the community. People are already forming factions fast so you can join one or start your own and help shape the stories that happen.
It is PvPvE and the rule is you can only steal weapons and ammo if you kill someone. Bigger teams can claim more territory. If you take a fight be ready for revenge because you never know how many friends they have.
The server uses a whitelist and you apply through a quick forum. You need Discord and a Minecraft Java account to play.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMedieval Kingdom Wars With NPC Armies

I found a medieval themed modded server for Java 1.12.2 where the main idea is building kingdoms and fighting wars.
The big mod focus lets players make NPC soldiers and workers and you can also use siege machines like catapults to attack fortresses. Wars are long term and sometimes lead to big battles with lots of NPCs and a final fight at an enemy capitol.
There is claim protection most of the time but it gets disabled during a siege for wars. The server has some lore and rp going on with a backstory posted in their community but roleplay is not required.
It is not only war since there are building mods and lots of PvE too. You can find structures and bosses and they also plan PvE events sometimes. Notable mods mentioned include Ancient Warfare Mowzies Mobs Electroblobs Wizardry Epic Knights Quark Waystones Biomes O Plenty Rustic and Travelers Backpack.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Modded Fabric World Reset Soon

I found a small chill Minecraft Java server that runs on 1.20.1 with Fabric. It has about 8 to 10 regular players and they want a few more friendly people to join.
They use their own mod list with new monsters and weapons and armor plus furniture and RPG stuff. There are dungeons to explore and lots of new things to discover while you play.
The vibe is cooperative survival where people build cozy bases and shared towns and connect areas with paths. They also use proximity voice chat so it feels like you are just talking while building or running into someone while exploring.
The server is getting reset soon so everyone starts fresh. It is not a sweaty server and it is not focused on PvP. People just play at their own pace and try to keep good vibes.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEchelonMC Custom Hand Built SMP 1.21.1
advanced territory protectionCommunity Feedback Drivenmob spawn controlpath trails featuretoggleable speed paths
I found EchelonMC and it is a hand built survival server on 1.21.1 that is made to last. It has been developed for about 2 months and it is hosted in Canada. The owner Eddy builds it based on player suggestions and they say over 100 suggestions are already in.
This server is trying to feel different from recycled SMPs. There is no pay to win and there are no main world resets planned. It is not a copy paste plugin pack style either and the focus is long term building real progression and a strong community. It also is not griefing focused.
You can earn Echelites currency just by playing like mining farming fishing exploring and building. There is also advanced land claiming with visual borders plus lots of settings like TNT and creeper control fire spread protection raid prevention fluid freeze mob spawn control and more.
There are teams so you can invite friends share access and use private team chat. There is auto pathing that makes paths under you and gives speed on them and you can toggle it. There are public builds you can list so people can visit vote and climb rankings. There are timed graves so your items are protected and you can recover them in a balanced way.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore Survival Where Death Shrinks You
Competitive first killexploration focusedhigh stakes adventureRespawn banner systemStructure driven progression
This server is built to be brutal and it feels like nobody is safe for long. Every time you die you permanently lose a max heart and it can drop all the way down to 4.
You cannot just eat and heal like normal because there is no health regen from full hunger. To get max hearts back you have to sleep near a campfire or use golden apples so healing is a real plan not a free thing.
Travel is scary too since there are no coordinates and no teleports. You have to use maps compasses and lodestones or you will get lost.
Getting to the End is harder because the Eye of Ender recipe needs items from four different structures. The End portal only stays open for 30 seconds and if everyone inside dies the whole End instance gets deleted forever. The dragon fight also has custom Ender Ghasts.
Beds do not set your spawn point. You rely on a Respawn Banner and if it gets destroyed you go back to spawn. Random Blood Moon events can happen too so nights can turn into chaos.
The first player to kill the dragon earns a Crown and the right to found the first nation and nobody has done it yet. It is for players who want a challenge on Java 1.21.11.
