I found a survival server running on 1.21.11 Fabric with lightweight mods that focus on smooth performance. It is meant to feel like pure survival gameplay.
The world has a story theme about three old rulers a PvPer an Explorer and a Builder. Their builds are still out there across the map so you can run into them while you play.
The End fight starts in one week so everyone has time to gear up. The server is all about exploring hidden places finding clues in the world and hunting for forgotten treasure. You basically choose if you follow the legends or try to beat them.
