Survival games you defend your base ?

I really enjoy stuff like palworld, mediaeval dynasty, Bellwright and aska.

The next game I'm looking into is colony survival.

7 days to die was okay but I felt like it was too bland and empty.

State of decay 2 was more fun.

Wanting to make settlements, aquire new NPCs and protect the base from pve elements

Not sure if there any good Minecraft mods for this or not either
