I found Oblivion SMP and it is starting a modded Season 2. It is a Java only server and they want to build a healthy fun community while still keeping things competitive.
You have to join their Discord and apply to get whitelisted. After you get accepted you can download their custom mod pack and the server info gets shared in Discord before launch.
They added quality of life mods plus new blocks weapons enchants bosses biomes and even a new dimension. PvP is allowed but only in designated areas and you need to read the rules in Discord to understand it.
They say the server is hosted on the West Coast of America and they plan to run events. They also try to keep it true survival with no commands for normal players except the previous champion who only gets /home.

Steel Union SMP is a chill modded survival server that feels like it is built for big dreams. It is based around Create and a bunch of add ons so you can build machines and set up trains and automation.

PvP and conflict is not the main thing and it only happens if the nation owners both agree. The server is up most of the time but you should expect random restarts sometimes.
It also has building and decoration mods like copycat style tools and Macaw blocks plus better food and farming with Farmer’s Delight. There is also extra gear and tech from Superb Warfare and upgraded structures from YUNG style mods.
