Howdy! welcome to The DiR SMP, a lore based modded SMP. We’re pretty cool with an active player base, snazzy modpack, and special weapons hidden within Loot chests. We have just started a new season (started 9th of march), so you will be progressing with everybody else! Alongside this, we have a 24/7 server with 16 Gigs, soon to be more so a generally Lag free experience is to be expected. We have a 2k by 2k world border that will expand slowly throughout the life of the SMP.

What are the weapons?

We use a mod called “Simply Swords” which have unique weapons, each having their own abilities and quirks to make them special and powerful.

Main Mods we have:

Fabric Mods,

1.20.1 Origins (And add-ons)

Farmer’s Delight

Lootr

Regions unexplored

Supplementaries

Spectrum

(Alot of performance mods)

CPM (Customizable Player Models)

Aquamarie

You’re in grave danger

🔥 🔥 🔥

Hello everyone! Would you like to join an awesome vanilla server that is a mere month old? We are a smaller group and like to keep that community feeling so applications will only be open for a short period of time. We had a few folks that had to scale back playing due to IRL obligations so this is your chance! Because the server is so young you can have meaningful impact on community builds such as spawn, shopping district, nether hub, etc if you so desire. Or you can pick a great spot somewhere on the map and sprawl out since the whitelist will remain short and sweet. We want quality of people over quantity.

Apply here! – https://discord.gg/JmKpUdBTZw

The goal with this is to get a small-medium sized community where everyone knows and trusts eachother. We are almost fully vanilla with the exception of a couple mods and datapacks. No griefing or anything like that. We want a friendly community where you can come and just hang out.

Some features are:

• Dynmap

• Fast leaf decay

• Mob head drops

• No mob griefing

• Gardener’s dream, more customization with flowers and flowerpots.

• Armor Statues.

A full list of mods and datapacks are on our discord.

We do not want to have a server crowded with too many people so the amount of people who gets in will be limited, join while you still can!
