Beauty in Blocks is a small modded SMP that feels like a big adventure. The world looks really cool because it uses special terrain mods and it makes the world feel fresh and different.
There are new biomes and new realms above and below so exploring actually feels worth it. The seasons change and leaves fall so the world feels more alive. The nether has extra structures and ruins so it is way less boring and more dangerous.
The server gives you a guide book when you first join. It explains the important changes the mods add and even has links to more info. This helps a lot if you are not used to modded servers.
There is a land claim system that uses Flan. You start with a decent amount of claim blocks and you earn more just by playing. Claims go down under the ground so you do not hit weird invisible walls while mining.
The server has proximity voice chat so you can actually hear people when you are close to them. This makes random meetings feel more real. But mobs and skulk can hear you too so you need to be careful when you talk.
The modpack is set up so it is easy to join and the server info is already in it. The community is small creative and likes building and exploring together. It seems like a place for people who want a long lasting world not just a quick reset server.
