I found a Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge modded server that runs with a mod setup you grab through CurseForge.
They have a Discord where you can get the mods and also find the server info so you can join once you are set up.
If you want modded Minecraft and do not mind importing a pack this one is made for that.
