I found a OneBlock server called LegionCraft and it is all about building up from your own island and grinding to get stronger.
There are challenging bosses and when you beat them they can drop keys. You can use those keys for rare loot and there are crates with epic gear and rewards.
You can also use chunk hoppers to automate parts of your island. The server says it is not pay to win so it feels more fair if you just want to play and grind.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFresh Nation Lore Survival With Railways
No random raidingPolice roleplay systemSpawn orientation hallTrade station hubsWorld exploration first
I found a fresh survival server that is all about nations and lore. It is meant to feel brutal but fair and it is not an anarchy place. You are not dealing with random griefing and it is not constant pvp either.

Travel and the economy are built around a strict railway system. The world capital at spawn and the three nation capitals are linked by two way rails.
