I found a small modded server called Fools Ambrosia and it is really big on roleplay and story. The whole world has this myth vibe with immortals and mortals and a long history of wars and fallen gods. Now there are only four gods left and they made something new which is you.
The server says it is roleplay first and gameplay second. They do regular scheduled events for several timezones and some are casual and some are super lore heavy. They also say any character can become important in the story if you actually show up and take part.
It runs on a lightweight NeoForge modpack with around 160 mods and they claim it can work on a potato. They also talk about having a custom made server backend and a friendly admin team that keeps putting in effort so the server lasts.
Mods mentioned include Origins with 16 choices and Biomancy 2 if you want the weird flesh stuff. The big question is if players keep the peace or repeat the old wars for power.
