Beauty in Blocks is a small modded SMP with a really pretty world. The terrain is made using Terralith and Tectonic and there are extra biomes and dimensions so exploring actually feels fresh.
When you first join you get a guide book that explains the important mods and what they change. The book even links to the mod wikis so it is easy to learn what is going on without needing to search everything yourself.
The server runs a land claim system called Flan. You start with some claim blocks and you earn more as you spend time on the server. Claims cover the surface and go down so you do not hit random invisible walls under bases.
There is proximity voice chat so people can talk when they are near each other in game. The server encourages people to interact and hang out. Your voice can even be heard by skulk and mobs so you have to be careful when you talk in dangerous places.
Loot in chests and barrels can restock daily so both new players and older players can still find useful items while exploring.
The server uses performance mods like Sodium ModernFix and Distant Horizons so the game runs smoother and big views work better.
Joining is simple because there is a modpack that already has the server details set up. You can also join by installing things yourself if you want.
