I found a modded Minecraft server running on 1.20.1 with a big fantasy RPG vibe and some progression stuff that keeps you busy. It is hosted on dedicated hardware in Europe and they also use a proxy route through Germany so players far away can still get decent ping.
The server is focused on roleplay enhanced gameplay with Lootr and voice chat. Teleports are restricted so you are pushed to travel with the modpack options like spells waystones and elytras. You start with some free waystones and there are free bandage kits you can claim every 12 hours.
It has fantasy races and classes with RPG leveling plus fantasy world generation and biomes. You can run into orcs goblins and dragons and there is Minecolonies with the Byzantine Styles Pack and Immersive Quests.
The server started on February 15 and it says no pay to win. It will stay up as long as at least one player is active and they do a modpack rotation when it goes inactive.
