I found this server called Realm of Aureus and it feels like a big RPG world inside normal Minecraft. It is a survival server where you still explore and build like vanilla but there is a lot of lore and extra stuff to do.
There are tons of unique items armor tools skills and enchantments made by the server itself. There are also custom bosses and dungeons where you have to use the terrain and figure out boss weaknesses to win cool loot. It sounds hard but also really fun if you like challenges.
The world has a border that slowly expands every Age so new land keeps opening up. That means people can find new places to build over time instead of everything being taken. You can protect your land and build towns then ally with others and even form nations.
There are more than 400 special achievements that go from easy things to really tough goals like rare gear or strong bosses. When you finish them your fame goes up so achievement hunters have a lot to work on.
The server works for both Java and Bedrock using Geyser and they put effort into making the textures and cosmetics match on both. The staff listens to the community and they say they plan new content based on what players ask for. It looks like a long term place where you can stay for a while and keep progressing.
SableCraft Vanilla SMP From Day One
SableCraft is a small vanilla SMP that is trying to be long term and not the kind of server that resets all the time.
It is aiming for a chill community where people are respectful and want to stick around. Builders casual players and creators are all welcome.
The vibe is no pay to win no anarchy and no drama. The direction of the server is meant to be community driven right from the start.
They are doing applications for season 1 and also optional staff applications. Launch is coming soon and updates are shared through their community chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAelythera 16+ Magic RP Mystery World
I found Aelythera which is a Minecraft roleplay server for ages 16+. It is built around meeting new people and playing characters while staff runs planned events.
The story starts in a normal place called Koriam with different regions and cultures and steampunk tech. Then people vanished in a big event and now it is happening again. Your character gets taken too and thrown into a new world with magic and the ruins of an old civilization.
A huge part of the server is discovery. You try to figure out your new powers and a new home. You also try to bring back the technology you lost but it is not easy and even basic tools can be hard to make. You can research the world and chase clues in ancient ruins to learn what happened to the people who came before.
The staff team says they have experience from other roleplay servers and they want the community to feel included. They also want to hear suggestions from players including lore ideas to make the world more exciting.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Fabric Modded Survival With Voice
