This server is called Shadows of Aethro and it is a modded world.
The main thing here is building up a colony and pushing progression way further than a normal SMP. It uses MineColonies and also custom mods made by Aethro so there are special events and extra stuff that you do not see on regular servers.
It is meant for players who want a bigger long term world and like slowly growing a base into a whole town. Since everyone is starting on day one it feels fair and fresh and you can grow with the server instead of joining late.
The server feels like it wants people who actually enjoy progression and playing together instead of just rushing to the end and quitting.
