Minecraft mods which make bases necessary again? (lemmy.ml)

Hello, thought I would post this on lemmy before reddit or some other forum.

I want to make make a scarier version of minecraft to play with a few of my friends. I have a desktop running debian with 4gb of ram allocated to the server, so it needs to be kind of lightweight. Here's the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

I want it to last maybe a month, people start vanilla servers like they're going to last forever, and they never do, so I want an experience which will start and end, satisfyingly in a short-ish amount of time.

I want it to be scary, and hard. I don't want players to simply "skip the night" I want night to be something they have to go through, and for it to be difficult. I want some linear progression mods, zombie hordes which get progressively more difficult, daytime is a rush for people to get as much gear and head underground during the night. I want there to be a real need to build a base. I want mobs to be able to break in if the base isn't strong enough. And I want a lot of co-op multiplayer gameplay.

I want the player mechanics to essentially remain the same. No thirst mods for example. I want it to have a bit of a pre 1900s theme, no gun mods, maybe some fantasy/medieval themes. And obviously I want it to be fun and immersive. Any version as long as it's compatible with a wide range of mods.

Any help would be great, thank you.

It only covers the base building part, but Mine Colonies is a mod pack with very extensive systems. Build a town hall to attract colonists. Build hotels or houses to give them a place to stay. Build a Builder's hut and assign a worker. They will build for you based on various themed templates. Your job is to manage job queues to fix bottlenecks, plan new construction, and go out into the Minecraft world to gather the increasingly rare materials you need to build the builder's hut lvl 2 or whatever.

I had a GREAT time with it, playing under ground using the Cavern building templates. https://ladyshatana.wixsite.com/mcguides/cavern-megahalls

I'm sure you could combine this with more difficulty mods. Your colony has guards if you build guard huts and archers if you build the right structure. Careful that too many of them don't die! Their friends and families will not want to work if they are grieving.
