The Easy Way to Create a Minecraft SMP

Minecraft SMPs (Survival Multiplayer Servers) are some of the most enjoyable experiences the game has to offer.

SMP servers allow players to shape their own in-game world.

SMPs typically involved established community rules and lore, made especially by the players on a server.

Dream SMP is one of the most popular SMP servers. It often features active players that are YouTubers like Dream, Karl Jacobs, GeorgeNotFound, TommyInnit, and others.

If you want to start one such entertaining world but don’t know what you have to do, these are the steps you must follow!

Setting Up A Server

The first step in creating an SMP server in Minecraft is to launch the server with a clean survival world.

Thankfully, numerous online tools can host your SMP server.

Some feature free services, while others cost money, but they also include some extra gimmicks.

You will have to pick a tool that you want to use to set up a server, according to your criteria. You can choose a server tool according to performance, price, or features.

When you decide, whoever sets up a server with an online tool must share the server’s address with everybody who wants to join.

As that step only needs one party, you must be aware that whoever sets up the server will have a severe advantage over others, as they have the option of controlling cheats, spawns, and more.

Therefore, you must set some clear rules right from the start.

When you play SMP, it is always worth keeping in mind that playing with people you know is a good idea.

That will make the experience more fun and more enjoyable in the long run, as you play with reliable people that you can trust.
