I found a server called The World of Salvaris and it is all about making a world that feels alive. People build up stories together and it feels like a tight community where you can make friends or enemies.
The world uses a server side mod that changes terrain so it forms into seven continents. Each season they focus big builds on one continent but you can still travel and explore the others.
Season 2 adds extra server side mods for quality of life. They also run community events like a Christmas themed build off and a Geoguessr style event based on the server.
They are opening the End for the first time in Season 2 on Friday Feb 13 at 3pm ET and it comes with a community event too.
