I found a modpack server with over 200 mods and it is trying to feel like a souls like dark rpg. The vibe is chill and the community sounds friendly. You can pick your playstyle and do your own thing.
You can create nations or just stay solo and explore. It seems made for people who want to roam the world or hang out with others.
They do active updates and events. There are custom built dungeons that reset weekly and it also has a big questline. It is planned to come out in March.
This is a modded 1.20.1 server where the ground is not really safe and your real home is a combat airship you build yourself.
There are no land claims and almost no safe zones besides Spawn. It is open PvP so ambushes raids and surprise attacks can happen. The big rule is you cannot hit people while they are offline.
The modpack mixes tech and magic. You can build big automation with Create then take to the sky with Valkyrien Skies and Eureka for flying warships and fights. Ars Nouveau is there for magic builds and battle stuff. Alexs Caves adds risky exploring for rare loot. There is also a custom VS Shields mod that gives energy shields to help keep ships alive.
It also has over 500 quests that push you from early game tools to super dangerous weapons. Main language is English and Russian support is also in game and in chat.
