I found a modded Origins RPG server that is built around tech and magic and it feels like it wants you to make your own story.
It has tons of dungeons and monsters and magic and it uses mods like Create Ice and Fire Valoria Tinkers Construct and Iron Spells and Spell Books plus more.
You can pick from lots of races and classes and backgrounds and even an alignment for magic. People can make kingdoms factions nations or rebellions and roleplay it out while traveling around.
It also includes FTB so you can team up claim chunks and protect your stuff from thieves. The server has proximity voice chat and simple shops and it is still new but getting more players over time.
The owner also plans to add public dungeons and world exploring quests with custom NPCs and they mentioned 1.20.1.

Anthala is a big new project on Disc Realms Network and it feels like a towny style world that actually changes over time. The map is meant to evolve and a lot of what happens is based on player decisions so it is not just the same old towny loop.
The main thing is there are no resets so your town progress and world history sticks around for the long run. They push continuous updates so new stuff gets added instead of wiping everything.
It also leans hard into lore that is built by the players and the server. The economy matters a lot because the global market is a big deal and resources are tied to what players do. They even say you do not need a separate resource world since materials come from the economy and resource points on the main map.
They also claim zero pay to win so ranks do not give gameplay advantages. It supports both Java and Bedrock so more people can jump in together.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
