I found a pair of modded servers that are running as a little host experiment. Both servers have the same specs and they are both in US West. They run on Ryzen 9900X or equivalent CPUs with 16GB RAM each and 32 slots. The worlds are pregenerated out to around 10k blocks in every direction.
There are two choices to play on. One server is All The Mods 10 on modpack version v5.4. The other server is Homestead A Cozy Survival Experience on modpack version v1.2.9.4.
There is no whitelist so you can just join. The area around spawn is claimed by the server to help stop big griefs. This experiment is planned to run about 2 months then the servers might close unless people really want them to stay. A world download may happen at the end if there is demand.
