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.
SwiftServers Free Hosting Zero Nonsense
I found SwiftServers and it is a Minecraft hosting platform that is totally free to use. It is made for people who want to start a server fast without dealing with annoying free host stuff like queues or lag.
They run a custom control panel that they built themselves and it is supposed to be lightweight and easy to use. You can spin up a server in seconds and they support Paper and Spigot so it works for different play styles.
They also talk about safety with DDoS protection and a backup system so you can create and restore backups fast. The specs they list include 1.5 GB dedicated RAM 10 GB NVMe SSD storage a 1 Gbit uplink and an AMD EPYC Rome processor with 8 cores. They also say player slots are not capped.
They say it is really free with no credit card and no hidden fees.
