I found a brand new Minecraft server that is slightly modded and meant to be easy to jump into.
It has unique structures to explore and a bunch of quality of life mods so the game feels smoother.
Right now it is a free for all since the server is new and the story is still being made. They are trying to get more players on so pretty much everyone is welcome.
You will need the required client side modpack and it runs with a NeoForge launcher setup.
Fresh Slightly Modded Server Free For All
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPZest Life Modded Roleplay SMP
Zest Life SMP is a modded server that is inspired by the Life Series made by Grian. It feels the most like Secret Life and it uses custom tasks to make everything more intense and interesting.
From what I can tell this server is all about community and roleplay instead of just rushing to kill each other. Players are encouraged to build characters and interact with others so it is more about story than about PvP.
The server uses the Life Series mod by Mat0u5 and a few small quality of life mods like visual and sound stuff that do not really change the gameplay. You have to be able to run the Life Series mod on your own game because it is needed on both client and server.
There is an age limit of 17 or older and they say they do not make exceptions. They also do not want people who speedrun gear and rush to final fights. If you mainly want roleplay and fun moments and not a murder spree this server seems made for that.
To join you have to fill out an application so they can filter who gets in and keep the community how they want it.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLouieland SMP Season 5 Factions And Builds
