This server is called uSurvive and it feels like a version of Minecraft that went in a different direction but still feels like normal Minecraft. It is survival but the whole thing is built around playing with other people and having fun together.
There is a custom claiming system so you can protect your builds in the overworld and not worry about griefing. It is not the usual golden shovel stuff. You can just focus on building and making cool bases.
There is also a custom dimension called the Abyss. It is like a toxic fungi wasteland with special mobs and outposts. You can fight dangerous enemies there and go for strong loot if you want more challenge and combat.
The server has quests plus custom items and custom mobs so normal survival feels bigger. There are backpacks so you can carry more and there are auctions and quick shops so players can trade and build their own little economy.
Everything is done with plugins and a resource pack so you do not need any mods. The server tries to update to the newest Minecraft version as fast as possible so it stays fresh.
It looks like a place for people who like building and exploring and also want some real fights and adventure while still staying close to vanilla Minecraft.

I found RevsMC and it is an 18 plus Minecraft Java SMP running the All The Mods 10 modpack. It feels like one of those servers where people actually plan to stay and build a real history over time.
The main idea is nations and groups. You can create or join a nation faction or clan and then build cities grow industry and push magic and tech progression. People also run shops set up trade networks and try to build their own economy.
Politics are a big part of it with alliances and rivalries depending on what players decide. Conflict exists but you do not have to be part of it.
PvP is opt in or opt out for players and nations so builders traders and explorers can play without being forced into fights. If groups do want conflict there is kill on sight between hostile parties and raiding is only allowed when both groups agree to raid each other.
