This is a server called The Collective and it feels like a chill story that everyone writes together. It is a free to play community server and it is semi vanilla with modpacks. Players help decide what happens next.
When you finish tasks that are based on the current modpack you actually get to choose the next direction of the server. That can be the next modpack or even the next world. It feels like the server is always changing based on what the players do.
There is a character called The Collector. People talk about it like it is a god of the server that wants to make things harder. The Collector has disciples that cause trouble. You can join Echo Fall to fight against this tyrant or join The Collector to get closer to it or just go do your own thing and make your own path.
Right now the server is run by a small friend group that has been together for about a year. They already have a lot of stories and scars and builds in their worlds. They are finishing up a Zombie Apocalypse modpack so a new world and new start is coming soon. This feels like a good time to join and get to know everyone.
There is also an Artifact System. Special items can be kept across different worlds so some things do not get lost when the world resets. If you want more info about that you need to join their discord and ask there.
