I found a modded Minecraft SMP called Gilded Abyss and it just started Season 2 a couple days ago. The whole season is going for a medieval era vibe and it feels like a story server.
When you join you end up getting sorted into one of two groups. As the server goes on both groups get daily tasks and it sounds like it will push people to team up and actually do stuff.
There are lots of biomes to explore since it uses Biomes o Plenty and Terralith. There are also special items you can get in certain ways and you can pick an origin race in game to match your playstyle.
They also have custom bosses for harder fights and the Create mod so people can build machines as long as it is reasonable. The End is locked for the first week and then it opens with an event.
It is whitelisted and you join through a ticket system where you talk to the owner or a moderator first. They want player suggestions and they say there will be lots of events.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMurder Birds SMP Season One Live
The Murder Birds SMP is a long term survival world that is all about creative builds and steady progress. It is made for people who like working together and building up a community over time.
Season 1 is already live and it runs from January 23 to December 24 2026. The server is on version 1.21.10.
The End is locked until October 31st so the End fight and elytras are wait gated. This keeps exploration more balanced for everyone.
There is also the main SMP plus original mini games. Right now it has Skull which is PvE based and Lava Spleef which is PvP based. More mini games are still being worked on.
This server is hosted by My Project Called Life Studios and it is planned as a five season Minecraft experience.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
