About smp servers
An SMP is Survival Multiplayer boiled down to its best idea: a world shared by a small group that actually knows each other. Most are semi-private, with an application, a Discord and staff who keep the vibe friendly. Because the community is small, builds last, trading is personal and group projects can get ambitious.
Rules differ widely: some SMPs are vanilla with light claims, some add economies, seasons or lore. The common thread is community over competition, so read the rules and see whether the people sound like you.
What to look for in a smp server
- How active the Discord is and whether staff answer questions.
- The application process, if there is one, and how quickly applicants get replies.
- Seasons or resets, so you know how long builds are kept.
- Player count at the hours you play.
