This server is all about a giant colony ship called Nexara that is basically a city in space. Most of the roleplay happens on the ship and it keeps growing as players build more stuff and travel to different planets. The main gameplay is gathering resources on planets building up the ship and roleplaying with other players while the story moves forward.
The staff runs plots so there is always something happening. It is not just slice of life. Players get a lot of freedom to shape their own characters and stories and the lore keeps growing as people add to it. There are ways to make a lot of wild ideas happen which is really cool if you like story focused servers.
The community has people from all over like North America Asia Europe and Australia so you can usually find someone to play and roleplay with. They are very supportive of 2SLGBTQIA plus players and people from different backgrounds and want it to feel like a friendly safe space.
There is a short whitelist process before you get full access but staff and other players help you get settled. In the story you are a pioneer who was supposed to travel to a nice planet called Hestia and build a utopia there. You went into cryosleep and now you wake up to find most crewmates still asleep and the ship missing a lot of what was promised. No one really knows why yet so the mystery is part of the roleplay.

This place is whitelist only and 18 plus. The community is welcoming and LGBTQ plus friendly. There are players from all around the world so there is usually someone online.
The main world does not reset because the server uses separate resource worlds. This means your builds can last for years and you can keep adding to them.

You pick from different magical races with their own history and powers. The server has deep lore and stories you can discover or even help create so it is really focused on roleplay and worldbuilding.
There are custom dungeons and bosses that drop real rewards and there is a special loot system so you get your own loot instead of fighting over empty chests. The enemies are smarter and tougher so you actually have to think before you fight.
If you die you do not just respawn. You wake up in the Nether and have to battle your way back to life so death has real consequences. The world is custom made with weird anomalies ruins and old magic scattered around that you can explore.
Players can steal rival and fight because freedom and survival are a big part of the server. But mass griefing and pointless destruction are not welcome. The staff wants story and conflict that makes sense not random chaos.

This server is called The Mace SMP and it is a survival multiplayer world where only three maces exist at all. That means every fight and every plan is built around who holds these weapons and who is trying to steal them.
Each mace is different. There is a Breach Mace a Density Mace and a Wind Burst Mace. Players use strategy pvp alliances and even betrayal to control them. If someone manages to combine all three they can make one max mace that has all three enchants.
The whole server is high stakes pvp with limited power in the world. Fights actually matter and battles can change how the server feels. Players create their own stories by teaming up or turning on each other just to get a mace or protect one.
It feels like a world where the whole community revolves around these three items and every move could be the play that wins or loses everything.
Prime Divinity is a modded roleplay SMP for people who really like storylines and lore and gods.
The story has two main paths. You can be a mortal who runs with Cora and Wisteria. They are trying to find a safe place after leaving their old city. Together you discover a castle that looks abandoned. Inside there is a powerful deity and their right hand. You get to figure out who they really are.
Or you can be one of the gods or a right hand. The gods are all waiting for the next god of creation. Someone named Luna was supposed to take that job but she vanished. Now the higher powers are freaking out and they send search parties all over the region. You can join that search and see if you can find her.
You need Curseforge to join because the server is modded. There are still a bunch of roles that need players so there is a lot of space to fit your character into the story. The community feels really excited to meet new people who love lore and roleplay.
If you want a Minecraft world where the story matters a lot this server is made for you.
