I found a modded survival server that is tied to a story based questing pack called Banished To The Wastelands. It is in public beta and they want playtesters. You can test it on the server or you can do it in singleplayer survival.
The server usually has a small group on at a time. Right now it averages around a few players.
The pack has a lot of content already with about one and a half dimensions worth of stuff and over 20 bosses. Some bosses are custom made. There are 156 mods and the pack is built so most of them feel changed to fit the same theme.
When you join you pick a race and a fighting style. That choice decides what combat and utility skills you can unlock. Your abilities grow as you defeat more enemies.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJOIN THE SCRIPTED MINECRAFT STORY

I found a scripted Minecraft server that is trying to build a story with people playing different roles.
The server is still small right now so they are looking for more members. They want some people who can record and some people who want main roles too.
They also need players to help make civilizations and run events. If you join early you can try to grab main roles or side roles while there is space.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLuminary Falls Adult Whitelist Survival SMP

Luminary Falls is a long term survival SMP that feels cozy and story rich. It is made for adults and it is whitelist only with an 18 plus rule. The community is meant to be welcoming and uplifting and it is LGBTQ plus friendly.
The server runs on Java and it also has full Bedrock crossplay. People can use client mods that do not give an advantage like Litematica Xaero’s Sodium and Dynamic Lights.
It keeps the vanilla feel but adds quality of life plugins and datapacks. There are resource worlds so the main world does not need resets and your builds can stay for years. Players are active at all hours and the server sees about 50 unique players each week so it usually feels alive.
To join you read the rules and then you do the whitelist application through the Discord bot.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMinemist Towny Wars And Server Lore

Minemist is a small Java server on 1.21.11 that opened on November 25th 2025. It is hosted in Sydney Australia so it is a nice spot for Asia Pacific players who hate high ping.
The main vibe is Towny with nations and war plus a server story. There is an entity called Misty who is watching and trying to understand humanity. You are basically living in a simulated civilization where you can join or start a town then grow into a nation and fight for control of the map.
War is used for politics more than chaos. Only nations can declare war on towns and if they win they can occupy your town or plunder money. You can also talk it out and join a nation to avoid war.
Raiding items from chests and breaking crops can happen but destructive griefing is not allowed. Staff can roll back damage if it happens so builds are still meant to be safe overall.
There are extra systems like jobs a culture system progression ranks enchantment tweaks MCMMO chest locks an auction house player warps and player vaults. The endgame is slowed down and is more about power territory and owning the map instead of just beating the dragon.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLiving Fantasy RP With Real Consequences

I found a fantasy roleplay world where players have a lot of freedom and the story keeps changing. The server is built around choices and consequences so it feels tense and real.
You start as Freeborn or Captured. Freeborn can travel and work and fight and try to survive in a dangerous land. Captured characters have to endure and obey or try to escape.
You make your own character and you can pick a race like humans elves fairies goblins giants and more. The lore is player driven so alliances can rise and fall and power can shift through conflict. Staff guide the world lightly but players shape what happens.
It is Java Edition and modded and whitelist only. The version is 1.20.1 and the whole focus is roleplay with high stakes.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHardcore Civilization SMP Bloodlines

This is a brand new hardcore SMP that is built around civilization style group play. It is invite only so you cannot just join randomly. Players who are already in can invite new people and that helps the community stay active and avoid trolls.
The server has secret tweaks and mechanics that you are supposed to figure out yourself. There are no guides so you have to pay attention and learn by playing.
There is also a clan and family system so you do not just spawn alone in a hardcore world. You get pulled into a group and it feels like you are part of a story that keeps going even after you die. If you want in you have to talk to current members and try to get an invitation code because a lot of clans are recruiting.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPForge a Timeline in Hardcore TFC

This is a modded Minecraft server built around a Dust to Dust style run but with a TerraFirmaCraft focus and a custom twist.
The whole point is going from the Middle Ages to the Cold War and even past that. Players can build empires or watch them fall apart. It feels like a living timeline that gets shaped by what everyone does.
The server has its own chronology and the plan is to turn what happens into a future YouTube video so the world history actually matters.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSmall Vanilla SMP For Videos And Lore

This is a very vanilla survival world and it is not one of those big network servers with a bunch of modes.
It is a smaller SMP with a cap under 40 members so it feels more like a real group and not a crowd.
People record videos here and they want players who can help make lore and story moments. You have to apply with a written application and they want you to explain how you would add lore.
If you do not want to be a full member you can still join as an extra actor or player for videos. They also said they have another video recording coming up this week and they need more players and actors.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBanana Split Realms Casual Roleplay Realm

This is a casual Bedrock realm where people play survival and relax. It feels pretty chill but still has structure so it does not turn into total chaos.
The server has quests that help players progress. It is not just random grinding. You always have something to do and goals to aim for.
The main focus is roleplay and player made lore. Players can join events and help shape the story of the realm. It is more about what the players create than any preset plot.
You can start your own city state and grow it up with builds. You can stay peaceful or you can get into wars with other groups if you want more action. Both building and pvp are supported so different playstyles can fit in.
The realm stays close to vanilla Minecraft. There are only a few changes and they are just there to make normal features a bit better. It still feels like regular Minecraft.
There are some rules but they are not super strict. They exist to keep a good balance between freedom and fun so people can enjoy roleplay wars and building without things going too far.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPZest Life Modded Roleplay SMP

Zest Life SMP is a modded server that is inspired by the Life Series made by Grian. It feels the most like Secret Life and it uses custom tasks to make everything more intense and interesting.
From what I can tell this server is all about community and roleplay instead of just rushing to kill each other. Players are encouraged to build characters and interact with others so it is more about story than about PvP.
The server uses the Life Series mod by Mat0u5 and a few small quality of life mods like visual and sound stuff that do not really change the gameplay. You have to be able to run the Life Series mod on your own game because it is needed on both client and server.
There is an age limit of 17 or older and they say they do not make exceptions. They also do not want people who speedrun gear and rush to final fights. If you mainly want roleplay and fun moments and not a murder spree this server seems made for that.
To join you have to fill out an application so they can filter who gets in and keep the community how they want it.
