The Pastlands is a modded SMP that feels like a real world and not a short hype server. It uses a custom CurseForge modpack that gets updated every two weeks so things stay fresh but your progress still matters.
The server is all about Create automation MineColonies magic and big exploration. There are lots of structure and worldgen mods so the world feels huge and full of stuff to find. It is really good for players who like building giant bases running colonies messing with magic or just roaming around.
The community is a big deal here. The players are active and friendly and the staff actually play the game and help instead of being power crazy. The server uses community polls and feedback and they even add new mods that players suggest after testing.
The world is meant to last so there are no random wipes. There are claims and protection plus chunk loading and the server is self hosted with strong hardware so it runs smooth with good TPS. The modpack and configs are optimized and bugs get fixed fast with clear changelogs.
If you want a long term modded SMP with automation colonies magic and people who like working together this server is made for that.
