Is SMP still Minecraft popular?

Are you tired of boring old Minecraft servers with the same old rules and restrictions? Well, do we have the server for you! Join our wild and wacky Minecraft SMP where the only rule is to have a good time (and maybe not blow up spawn too many times).

Our server is so crazy, we once had a player build an entire roller coaster made out of diamond blocks! And don’t even get us started on the time someone tried to tame a creeper as a pet (spoiler alert: it didn’t end well).

But the real reason you should join our server is because we have our very own IRC server! That’s right, you can chat with your fellow players in real-time while you’re mining for diamonds or battling mobs. Who needs Discord when you have old-school IRC?

So come on down to our server and join in on the madness. Just be prepared for anything and everything to happen – because on our server, the only limit is your imagination (and maybe the occasional server crash).
