I found a modded SMP called Mech Rehabilitated and it feels like a small friendly place that stays active. It is the kind of server you can hop on after work or classes and just relax or go totally wild.
The modpack has over 300 mods so there is a lot to do. People can explore and loot huge structures then go fight bosses and chase big power. If you are more of a farmer type there are lots of recipes and cooking stuff too.
Some of the mods mentioned are Create Alexs Mobs and Caves Terramity Farmers Delight with lots of addons Cataclysm Etched and Littlepictureframes for community movie nights.
The server just came back with a brand new version of the modpack and a clean slate. You have to fill out a short form to get reviewed and whitelisted before you can join.

Farmlands SMP is a small survival server where everyone actually matters. It feels really cozy and relaxed. You can build your own house or farm or even a whole little village with other players.
There are two different worlds. One world is just for building so your creations stay safe and look nice. The other world is for gathering resources so you do not wreck the main place when you mine and chop stuff.
You can claim your land so nobody can grief your builds. The server is chill with no griefing and no killing and no toxic behavior. It is meant to feel safe and calm.
There are simple commands like home tpa and pwarp that make traveling around a lot easier. Players can run their own shops and trade with each other so the economy is controlled by the community. There are no ranks and no pay to win things so it stays fair.
The community is pretty small and tight knit so people can actually get to know each other. Players build explore and farm together and slowly grow the world block by block. It is a good place if you want a quiet friendly SMP to call home.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Forge Modded Survival 24 7
