We have a lot of desert servers, some space servers, but no sea server. Fortunately there is a modpack: In the Sea Create world from template to test it out.

So you have to come up with new methods of survival, exploration and questing.
I tried this pack and did not really like it. You start in a very small underwater base, but soon after that you just dig down into a tunnel and start your base there. They could have put the whole thing on a normal world and it would be the same pack. There is nothing unique in this pack, that makes any usage of the "In the Sea" setting. You even get your ores just simply by mining.
I would like it, but Sandstroem said you can mine ores by mining. They could atleast implement "Sea Ex Nihilo (doesnt exist)" in which you will grind water and get some small dusts of ores (and organs of fish) I would like to have the kind of modpack that I mentioned, sadly, it doesn't exist. Also, too low mods.
No refined storage? I'm supposed to use drawers for everything? No thanks! In addition to it's water just mine for ore seems like it a missed opportunity.
