7 KEY TIPS to Making a Successful SMP (Minecraft)

Hello internet my name is michaelis221 and today i’m going to be presenting to all of you seven tips to make a successful and enjoyable minecraft survival multiplayer in case you haven’t noticed over the past few months videos and streams of gamers playing minecraft survival multiplayers or minecraft smps

Have overtaken the internet by a storm there are many gamers out there who wish to begin their own smps and i’ve come to the conclusion that there must be a very analytical and methodical approach to creating s ps as successful as the dream smp or the s p earth

And you don’t have to be a very famous streamer or youtuber to do so i myself own an smp from my friends and i and i know exactly what makes an smp functional and what makes it not functional so here are seven specific things you must do to create a successful and

Enjoyable survival multiplayer number one only invite close friends once you begin inviting strangers and giving the access to your server to these completely random people your lively smp will start to become much less of an smp and much more of an anarchy server simply because they don’t respect you or know you

And you probably don’t want that unless you’re crazy about places like 2b2t but that isn’t how you make and exactly functional smp so yes do only invite close friends number two set up a center of communications for the members of your smb to communicate on this could be

A google hangouts chat or a discord server but you must make sure there is some other way than the in-game chat to communicate with your fellow players this way you can create a community and a group of people who actually enjoy playing the game together number three have as little automatic farms as

Possible with automatic farms players stop striving and everyone has everything they need at the switch of of lover or after a few moments being afk basically once you have a gun powder farm villager breeding farms and iron farms you might as well be in creative mode because you can obtain anything without

Working hard for it and if you might as well be in creative mode you absolutely defeat the purpose of a survival multiplayer i’m not saying to completely outlaw automatic farms but do set a limit on which automatic farms are allowed or have as little automatic farms as

Possible on your server number four do not completely restart the s p when a new update comes unless all members of the server agree to it the very first smp i actually was a member of the owner decided to completely restart and wipe out the existing

World because of a new update which you don’t even have to restart your round because of a new update it updates automatically and when the server owner did this many of the members who had lost their hard work and creations due to the restart lost interest in the entire server and left

Most people just want to have fun on minecraft and enjoy the creative liberty and to appreciate the hard work it takes to achieve certain goals this is why if you restart at all for any reason you must ensure that all of the server members are in agreement

Because it can have very bad effects on the community of your server and your server members if you just restart without notice number five don’t be afraid to use your operator powers on my own s p i myself have banned people given other people creative mode for reasonable

Purposes teleported to places and etc if you’re a server operator you have a right to do this once again you still want to keep it in the bounds of a survival multiplayer for it to remain enjoyable and fun for everyone else if it ceases to be a survival

Multiplayer it defeats the purpose of having to serve at all set fun goals for the people in your realm whether it be defeating the ender dragon constructing a castle building a village or exploring the nether for bastions always establish some goal to make an enjoyable and fun

Experience for all of the players on the smp on the last snp i was a part of the motivation that everyone had to reach a common goal was a war that began i won’t get into the details much but this war definitely was something that united everyone under

A common goal and it allowed the server and the community to flourish people constructed fortresses they went out with their friends to grind for netherite and diamonds and they stacked up on potions and armor to prepare for the war although it was a massive conflict which involved death destruction

And bloodshed it allowed the server to flourish and everybody had a fun time while doing it so a war definitely isn’t necessary for your server to flourish but do make sure there is some goal that everybody in your community is trying to reach and number seven don’t be afraid to use

Mods or custom worlds on your realm i’ve seen people use many fun and hilarious mods on their smps a horror mod which darkens the atmosphere and makes mobs terrifying a new dimension custom world a middle earth mod which broadens the landscape and changes the terrain altogether and

Smp never has to be in a normal vanilla minecraft world all the time you can use mods to a reasonable extent to allow everyone to enjoy your server and have even more fun on it than ever before minecraft smps are incredible and vastly fascinating if approached in the right manner and done

In the correct ways as i’ve said throughout the video only allow close friends establish the center of communications for your members always make sure to allow people’s creative liberty on the server by not abruptly restarting it don’t hesitate to use operator powers when necessary set fun goals for everybody to enjoy and

Use mods in custom worlds to take everything to a whole new level minecraft is a great game with endless possibilities but it was designed to be a multiplayer game you were made to play this game with other people and with minecraft smps i’ve gotta say this is only scratching the surface anyways guys
