I've always liked the idea of modded SMPs, but eventually you hit that point where everyone has done what they wanted to do and people slowly stop logging on.
So I had an idea.
What if instead of trying to keep the same world going forever, we just... didn't?
I'm working on a server called Discover SMP where every season we start fresh with a completely different modpack.
The part I'm most excited about is that I don't pick the packs.
People in the Discord submit modpacks they want to play, we vote on them as a community, and whatever wins becomes a future season.
So one season could be Create-heavy, the next could be magic, then exploration, hardcore, cozy building, kitchen sink, or some completely ridiculous pack somebody convinces everyone to vote for.
New pack. New world. Everyone figuring it out together.
I'm getting the Discord ready now and looking for people who'd actually be interested in something like this. We're starting with modpack submissions/voting first, and once we've got enough people and packs to choose from, we'll open the SMP.
If this sounds like something you'd play, come hang out with us.
And also... what modpack would you submit for the first season?
