I found a small Minecraft Java server that is modded on 1.20.1 using Fabric. It is a chill place with about 5 to 6 regular players.
They made their own mod list with extra monsters and weapons and armor and furniture plus RPG stuff and dungeons. The point is to explore a lot and keep finding new things to do.
People build cozy bases and sometimes shared towns with paths. It is meant to feel like a lived in world where everyone helps out and goes on random adventures.
They use proximity voice chat so talking feels natural while you build or when you run into someone. The server is resetting soon so everyone starts fresh at the same time.
It is not sweaty and not focused on PvP. It is more about relaxed cooperative survival and playing at your own pace.
