GildedAbyss is a new modded SMP that is all about the community and how people interact with the world. The server is just starting up and Season 1 will begin once enough players join so it feels like a real world from day one.
The world has a ton of new biomes to explore with Biomes O Plenty and Terralith so everything looks fresh and interesting. There are special items you can get with different ways to obtain them so it feels rewarding when you figure it out.
There is also an ancestral archetype system where you pick a sub race in game and use its strengths to your advantage. On top of that there are more ores and new tools and weapons so progression feels more fun and not just the normal vanilla path.
The Create mod is in the pack so you can build machines and contraptions as long as they are reasonable. The owner wants lots of suggestions from players and there will be many events once the server really starts up so the world does not feel empty.
To join you go through a simple ticket style whitelist where you talk to the owner or a moderator and if you seem like a good fit you get added. It feels like they really want a solid and friendly group instead of random chaos.
