Shadowburn SMP is a small modded server that runs on Minecraft 1.20.1 using forge. When I joined it felt like a survival world that just exploded with new stuff.
There are over 100 mods and they add a lot. There are new decorations so bases can look really cool. There are magic things to mess with and a bunch of new food to try. Weapons and armor are not just the normal diamond and netherite any more.
You can fight dragons and other strong mobs. You can focus on building a base and making it look awesome. Or you can just run around and experiment with magic and all the new gear. It feels like there is always something different to do.
The owners want people to hang out together and talk. They ask everyone to join their discord because that is where they post updates like when the server is down or when they add new mods. It makes the server feel more organized and easier to keep up with.
If you want a modded forge world on 1.20.1 with tons of stuff to explore and a smaller community feel then Shadowburn SMP is pretty fun.
