I found the V+ SMP and it is like vanilla Minecraft but expanded so you can still join with a normal install.
The server focuses on improved vanilla features and a bunch of quality of life improvements.
People also make geo political towns and nations so it feels like players are building a whole world together.
TANOMI is a unique survival server that offers a fresh look at Minecraft and the difficulty of staying alive. You can choose your own play style and be whoever you want without strict roleplay labels or limitations. The server adds exciting systems like new enchantments, fishing, mining, unique monsters, and a wide range of new equipment, all without using mods or requiring a custom launcher. Your progress is protected because the main world does not get wiped, so your builds and history are preserved for a long time. You can join even from a non licensed client, so you are not forced to buy an additional account. The community of players and staff is described as friendly and sociable, and you are encouraged to shape the ongoing story of the world through your actions. More detailed information about the server and its features is available through their community pages and website.
