I found a modded SMP that is growing fast and it feels like a fantasy world with real story behind it. The main vibe is dragons and monsters and the land is full of them.
It uses Ice and Fire so you can hunt dragons fight them and even tame one for yourself. People can pick a life like ruling a kingdom being a warrior or running a tavern.
There are multiple nations right next to each other and they want more builders fighters redstoners and basically any helpful player. There are also custom structures and dungeons to explore.
The world border is kept kinda small so everyone stays close together and it will expand over time. Players are pushed to make settlements and houses with other players.
PVP is allowed but random killing is not the point and it can get you punished. PVP is more for planned wars and server drama that makes sense. The server is whitelisted so you have to apply to join.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPPosalon Geopolitics Worldbuilding Nations Server
Posalon is a geopolitics and worldbuilding server that has been running for over three months. It supports both Java and Bedrock and it has an active community that keeps the lore moving.
The main idea is making your own nation and building a shared story with other players. There is also an international news channel vibe where you can see what is happening across the world.
Movecraft is the big plugin here so players can build ships tanks and planes out of blocks. The server also has Brewery X plus lands and a market with an auction house and a stock market. There are guns and seazones and more too.
It is not just a military server even with all that stuff. It is more about worldbuilding and community lore and right now it is in a small development break to make room for new players and new nations.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFools Ambrosia Modded RP Lore Wars
I found Fools Ambrosia and it is a small modded server that is really big on story. The world is about mortals and immortals and how worship made gods survive. Wars happened and new gods rose up and almost everything fell apart except for four gods who made something new which is you.
This server goes roleplay first and gameplay second. They do scheduled events for different timezones and some are chill and some are heavy on lore. Events can be made by players or by admins and they really want everyone to get a chance to matter in the story.
It runs a lightweight Neoforge modpack with around 160 mods and it is meant to work on weak computers too. They also talk about a custom built server backend and an admin team that stays active and keeps improving things. The mod list includes Origins with 16 choices and Biomancy 2 for the weird flesh stuff.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
