I found a modded server called Iperios that runs All the Mods 10 version 5.4. The main idea is nations. You can make your own nation and pick your own government style.
Nations can have laws and ranks. If you do not want to build one from scratch you can join a nation that already exists.
To get in you need to join their Discord and ask for a whitelist. After you join a staffer can guide you and give you a beginner kit so you can start playing.
This is a community centered SMP that feels a lot like Hermitcraft. It is made by the players for the players and people actually hang out and play together.
The server is survival with a diamond based economy and a shopping district. There are public builds and big projects that everyone can join in on. A lot of players use proximity chat too so it feels more social when you are exploring or building.
They try to keep the vanilla vibe while still adding a few cosmetic and quality of life or fun plugins. New stuff gets added from community requests and polls.
It runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it is Java only. The server is whitelisted and it is 18 plus only.
This is a small Minecraft server with about five people and they want a few more to join.
The vibe is super relaxed. You can play and talk and just enjoy the game with no pressure.
It is on version 1.21.11.
This is a chill modded SMP that is based around Create and a bunch of its add ons. People build big factories and do automation and also mess with trains.
The world uses Terralith so the terrain looks really lush and scenic and it gives lots of cool places to build. The server is about nations and lore and community projects so you can team up and build stuff together.
PvP and conflict is mutual only between nation owners so it is not the main focus. The server is up most of the time but you might see random restarts sometimes.
It also has Farmer’s Delight for better food. There are copycat style building tools and Macaw’s building mods for more decoration. There is Superb Warfare for extra gear and tech but it is not the main focus. YUNG’s better structure mods are in too like better strongholds and desert temples and more.
I found REGNUM and it feels like a world that is meant to last. It is Java 1.21.11 and it is long term survival with no map resets. It is pvp and it leans semi anarchic so you are not getting handheld.
The whole point is minimal laws and maximum consequences. Players handle most problems through deals and alliances or straight up fighting. Staff mainly steps in for basic boundaries so the server stays fair and people are not harassed.
It sits between vanilla survival and a more serious medieval politics server. People build castles and claim lordships then go to war and lay siege. There are tools for stuff like commanding undead armies and capturing enemies. Nights are harder and there are balanced quality of life plugins.
It is whitelist only and it sounds like a small group that wants more people. The vibe is competitive in game but still friendly outside of it.
LegionCraft is a OneBlock survival server where you start from a single block and keep grinding to grow your island. It feels like every block matters because it is all about building up from almost nothing.
There are challenging bosses you can fight and they drop keys. Those keys are used for crates so you can pull rare loot and get better gear. There are also chunk hoppers so you can automate parts of your island and keep progressing.
The server says it is no pay to win so it is more about playing smart and putting in time. If you like building grinding fighting and looting this place is made for that.
