00:00:00
so you want to learn how to keep an SMP
00:00:01
with your friends alive well I have a
00:00:03
scientifically proven list on how to fix
00:00:05
that before we start if you watch the
00:00:07
entire video and if you have competent
00:00:09
friends this video will help you a lot
00:00:11
you might not like some of the tips I
00:00:12
give but I guarantee you will find some
00:00:14
of them useful this is the twoe server
00:00:16
cycle something every player is familiar
00:00:18
with where you and your friends decide
00:00:20
to start a server everyone gets gear and
00:00:22
has some fun but then either someone
00:00:24
cheats someone stops playing people get
00:00:26
bored and slowly the server dies out
00:00:28
prompting the start of another server
00:00:30
these can be fun but you're here because
00:00:32
you want more you want a longlasting
00:00:34
experience or at least one that doesn't
00:00:36
die instantly so let's first cover why s
00:00:38
smps die in the first place players
00:00:40
cheat players get bored players go far
00:00:42
away not enough players players sweat
00:00:44
players beat the game okay I don't want
00:00:46
to waste any more of your
00:00:48
[Music]
00:00:51
time live near each other this is
00:00:53
probably one of the most important
00:00:54
points you will not want to visit your
00:00:56
friend's base if it's far away and trust
00:00:58
me 50 blocks is already too far it's
00:01:00
best to live with your friends in one
00:01:02
base or one Collective base where
00:01:03
everyone's bases blend together as seen
00:01:05
in hermitcraft this way you're always
00:01:07
around your friends which is key to an S
00:01:09
SMP don't sweat this is what kills most
00:01:11
servers where some players rush
00:01:13
netherite in Automatic Farms leaving the
00:01:15
rest of the server behind if everyone
00:01:17
takes things slowly and at the same Pace
00:01:18
you can focus on the social aspect of
00:01:20
the server and not purely the gameplay
00:01:22
and getting ahead of others Huggins and
00:01:24
mods are your friends if you're like me
00:01:26
you don't like adding on to the vanilla
00:01:28
Minecraft experience and just like
00:01:30
gamechanging mods but there's always
00:01:32
plugins and mods that enhance the base
00:01:34
game the best example which I recommend
00:01:36
for any SMP is a simple voice chat mod
00:01:38
this simulates real life where you can
00:01:40
only hear someone if you are near them
00:01:42
wait I have a boat I have a boat I have
00:01:43
a boat all right Hy there bro get in
00:01:48
vanilla friendly plugins include
00:01:51
slit or player heads being dropped on
00:01:53
death data packs can also be added such
00:01:55
as teralith which overhauls generation
00:01:57
using only vanilla blocks make a plan if
00:02:00
you don't usually plan what you're going
00:02:01
to do on an S SMP before it starts like
00:02:03
base plans try it out and if you do plan
00:02:06
bases and Farms try not doing so
00:02:08
sometimes just doing things differently
00:02:09
is enough to keep you on the server and
00:02:11
maybe others as well small tip for your
00:02:13
base don't use tutorials I get maybe
00:02:15
you're not the best builder but for me
00:02:17
tutorials just take away from it being
00:02:19
your base along with taking the fun from
00:02:21
actually building the base inspiration
00:02:23
is always okay though wear iron armor
00:02:25
this might not make sense but it
00:02:27
completely does my experience with s
00:02:29
smps is pretty decent and often when
00:02:31
players with a lot of gear die and lose
00:02:33
it all they lose their motivation to
00:02:34
grind it back leading to them quitting
00:02:36
followed by a chain reaction where
00:02:38
everyone else quits to avoid this don't
00:02:40
wear expensive gear and just use iron
00:02:42
armor as if you die you won't be as mad
00:02:44
trust me on this you will thank me later
00:02:46
don't start with few players if you
00:02:48
start a server with only four people no
00:02:50
one will want to join as it's rare
00:02:52
others will also be online make sure at
00:02:54
the beginning of the server there are
00:02:55
enough players to keep the server alive
00:02:57
as if no one is invited it's rare two or
00:02:59
more more people will be online at once
00:03:01
additionally there's nothing wrong with
00:03:03
adding people to the server after it
00:03:04
already started no admins you don't need
00:03:07
an admin on a server with 10 people no
00:03:09
one should be up and all decisions
00:03:11
should be made collectively it's easy to
00:03:13
abuse admin powers and it's simply not
00:03:15
fun playing knowing that someone has
00:03:16
used op unfairly invite others if you
00:03:19
want an S SMP to feel fresh or different
00:03:21
and you always play with the same people
00:03:23
try looking for others in your school or
00:03:25
grade who play Minecraft this is
00:03:27
unlikely because a lot of people aren't
00:03:28
trustworthy or fun to play with with but
00:03:30
if you do know people in your grade who
00:03:31
play it wouldn't hurt to ask them if you
00:03:33
don't already you can also invite online
00:03:35
friends to join the SMP which is a great
00:03:37
way of making new friendships from
00:03:38
personal experience my online friends
00:03:40
have always gotten along with my IRL
00:03:42
friends it's okay to restart some smps
00:03:45
don't last long and that's not
00:03:46
necessarily a bad thing for me starting
00:03:49
an S SMP is the most fun part as you get
00:03:51
to explore and choose where to build
00:03:52
your base and come up with ideas for
00:03:54
bases once everyone is settled in then
00:03:56
it starts getting boring for me so if
00:03:58
you like you and your friends can set
00:03:59
the limit for example an S SMP where you
00:04:01
restart every weekend with a new twist
00:04:03
such as an amplified world or a superf
00:04:05
flat world hey thanks for making it this
00:04:07
far if this video seems useful or
00:04:08
entertaining in any way subscribing is
00:04:10
free and you will like more content I
00:04:12
make in the future I'm currently trying
00:04:13
to beat pilot and subscribers and only
00:04:15
you can help me do that thanks add a
00:04:17
world border adding a world border is
00:04:20
what I found to have the biggest impact
00:04:21
on gameplay in a good way as it promotes
00:04:23
teamwork and collaboration I have played
00:04:25
with friends on a 500x 500 World which
00:04:28
was actually really fun as you
00:04:29
constantly stly ran into your friends
00:04:31
you can also include a stronghold in the
00:04:32
Border granted there's a fortress within
00:04:34
the Border in the nether find a seed
00:04:37
something I do a lot is just load up
00:04:38
chunk base and cycle through seeds
00:04:40
hoping to stumble on an amazing one I'm
00:04:42
not sure why I do it but it has given me
00:04:44
a list of seeds that would make for
00:04:45
great spawns on an S SMP and if you want
00:04:48
to guarantee a great spawn you can try
00:04:49
using seed map for a couple of minutes
00:04:52
just make sure you don't have many
00:04:53
structures toggled or that the seed gets
00:04:55
leaked to the players because in my
00:04:56
opinion you're basically just cheating
00:04:58
them no end many people contribute the
00:05:00
end to the end of their SMP as once you
00:05:03
have an elytra and an Enderman XP farm
00:05:05
it's easy to get all the max gear and
00:05:07
then everyone quits the server as
00:05:08
there's nothing more to do and that's
00:05:10
how it dies this is an optional tip but
00:05:12
disabling the end delays the death of
00:05:13
your server you could have a rule where
00:05:15
the end gets unlocked after 1 month or
00:05:17
something or a server where everyone
00:05:19
begins with a permanent elytra as a
00:05:21
Twist have fun don't grind smps aren't
00:05:24
about grinding and it's not fun grinding
00:05:26
Max gear only to stop playing for the
00:05:28
server to eventually restart and having
00:05:30
to do it all again in my opinion s smps
00:05:32
should be a way to hang out with your
00:05:33
friends and mess about this involves
00:05:35
building together and hosting in-game
00:05:37
events with your friends you need to
00:05:38
come up with fun ideas building mini
00:05:40
games or hosting a movie night or
00:05:42
karaoke or something this then in turn
00:05:44
gives you ideas to build and time to
00:05:46
build them just ask your friends what
00:05:48
they find fun and plan things ahead
00:05:50
events are a great way to ensure people
00:05:51
will log on and are what always make the
00:05:53
best memories record moments this is
00:05:56
more personal but running metal in the
00:05:58
background of your game a clipping
00:05:59
software is the best way to permanently
00:06:01
keep and remember the funny moments and
00:06:03
clips that happen on the S SMP very
00:06:05
often I find myself watching old clips
00:06:07
from servers that I've played on in the
00:06:08
past and they're still some of the best
00:06:10
moments I've experienced with my friends
00:06:12
and I'm so glad I was able to record
00:06:13
them it's hard to Traverse up here
00:06:15
though these are four blood drums like I
00:06:18
don't know no bro just get better
00:06:20
additionally make sure to take lots of
00:06:21
screenshots of bases of players and of
00:06:24
events many s smps my friends and I made
00:06:26
during lockdown and Co are lost simply
00:06:28
because no one has any screenshots of
00:06:30
them no cheating whatsoever this is by
00:06:32
far the biggest tip as it has been the
00:06:34
biggest killer for all servers I have
00:06:36
played on for me the moment anyone
00:06:37
x-rays cheats or just flies to their
00:06:39
stuff because they don't want it to
00:06:41
despawn the game doesn't feel fun
00:06:43
anymore because you might as well just
00:06:44
cheat everything because you could have
00:06:46
done it legit no one wants to grind for
00:06:48
anything knowing they could cheat and
00:06:50
get it faster like someone else has
00:06:51
already done cheating takes all the fun
00:06:53
out of the game especially when people
00:06:55
try to hide it you need to talk to your
00:06:57
friends about this and make sure
00:06:58
everyone agrees not to cheat quickly
00:07:00
before this video ends keep in mind I'm
00:07:02
not saying this is how you should run a
00:07:03
server these are just ways I've used and
00:07:05
things that seem to work to make servers
00:07:07
last longer and make them more fun feel
00:07:09
free to comment anything I got wrong or
00:07:10
any other tips you may know and if
00:07:12
you're this far into the video and you
00:07:13
haven't yet subscribed damn thanks for
00:07:16
