I found this Minecraft server called ICONIC and it feels like a place where players try to become legends.

The server has a normal survival SMP where you can farm build and just progress at your own speed. There is also a Factions mode with alliances wars strategies and territory fights for people who like more action.

If you like challenges there is a One Block mode where you start on a single block and slowly grow your world bigger and bigger.

There is an economy with shops money and trading between players. You can get special ranks with cool bonuses and it says the system is balanced for both new players and hardcore tryhards.

The community is described as active and respectful and the staff seems chill and available. They also run regular events and give special rewards so it feels like there is always something happening.

The server runs on version 1.21.1 so it is pretty up to date.
