There is also a big expansion called the Wasteland Dimension. It adds new gear to fight over plus huge structures with secrets and resources.

Instead of normal land claims it uses a block based reinforcement system from Citadel. This helps protect your stuff without worrying about chunk borders.
There are lots of nations with their own traditions politics and cultures. You can join one or even make your own and people are usually willing to share land so new players can get started.

Waychest is a PvE survival server that feels like you are starting alone but it is actually one big shared world. You and your friends get placed into your own Journey with a random spawn point. It feels like a private realm at first but other Journeys are out there too.

There is also Waychest Flight where you craft an Elytra and it turns into a flying ring challenge that leads to a Waychest made by a stranger.
