I found GOOMB SMP and it is a vanilla survival server on amplified terrain. The world got reset about a month ago so it still feels like a newer season and people are building fresh bases.
At first the world border made players live closer together but the border expanded so now there is a lot more room to spread out. The End is open and players started an egg hunt event so you can meet people while doing something fun.
