I found a small Minecraft server that is running a lifesteal style survival for now. It stays mostly vanilla but it has a few mods added in.
It is semi scripted but it still feels like normal survival most of the time. There are usually around 20 active players on at a time.
I also saw mods like Farmers Delight and similar stuff. The server might change its main style later but right now it is lifesteal with a chill small community vibe.
