DOG SMP

A Classic SMP. . .
              Where steel settles disputes. . .

Hi everypuppy :3 I'm here to announce the launch of a new Minecraft server, called DOG SMP.


We are building the server on the idea that the players within get to join the world, build anything they want, meet people, wage wars. Whatever the flavor of the week is for them. But we wanted to do so in a way that doesn't just enable random people to join in and grief for the sake of griefing, because that would push people away from wanting to build amazing structures or go on adventures.


The server has enabled pvp at all times, and has no finite rules and regulations, but the people we are looking to attract aren't the ones who will spawnkill and grief houses because minecraft allows them to, rather they'd kill a geared player for loot or break someone's structure due to a conflict or actual beef. We want people who want their actions to mean something!


Another core principle we wanted to focus on is a more traditional pvp system, avoiding engagements that end in a single frame. So one of the few rules we do have in place is that there is no elytra or crystal pvp authorized on the server. Returning to pvp as it has been for so many years, the axe, sword, bow, etc on solid ground should make engagements be more exciting and have a higher degree of team play than you would otherwise. Elytras are still enabled and whatnot, but utilizing them to one tap a player from the height limit is not good to go here. We also have disabled splash potions of harming alongside tipped arrows of harming, specifically because of their potential to shred high tier gear with almost no counter. These few adjustments should increase the time to kill on average for fights which in turn should make them more gripping in a way.


Aside from the above concept for the server, a few plugins we are using are the villager cycling plugin/infinite trading as well as one to scale the Ender Dragon boss fight so it's not as trivial as it's current vanilla state. We also HIGHLY RECOMMEND using the simple voice chat mod as it'll give you proximity chat on the server as well as allow you to communicate in groups directly in the server.


Several layers of anti cheat are enabled, as well as a system to rollback any form of super grief or major issues like that. Players should feel safe to build complex structures they worked hard on without fear of them being a crater when they log in the next day.

If you're interested in joining, please apply to the whitelist through the community discord: discord.gg/ZdPFWcuZVv

The server will be up and running with the final world state in a matter of hours! We'd love to have you there. Any questions please comment below or message me directly. Thanks, I hope everyone has a pawsome day :>
