SteamForge SMP is a survival multiplayer server that is all about creativity and big builds with mods.
It is launching fresh so it is a good time for new members to jump in and start from the beginning.
The server runs mods like Create Steam and Rails plus Create Diesel Generator Create Factory Must Grow and Create Big Cannons with addons. It also has more mods too.
It is not pay to win and you need your own copy of Minecraft to play.
This is a modded VR only survival server built around the Create mod. The big twist is that water does not regenerate so every decision about machines and power actually matters a lot.
You have to plan out water for giant steam engines and for processing ores. Usual renewable power tricks are not very useful so you really think harder about every build. It feels like real survival again and not just another easy factory world.
The server is adventure focused so it is not just a quiet building sandbox. There is exploration and real challenges. People are encouraged to talk and cooperate instead of running off thousands of blocks away and hiding.
It is VR only and works with Vivecraft and similar stuff. You actually place contraptions with your hands and pull levers in first person scale which feels way different than normal Minecraft. It makes bases feel more like a real home.
There is no TPA or extra teleport stuff. The idea is to keep the game tough and make travel and planning matter. It seems aimed at players who think normal Create is too easy after one playthrough and who want a long term VR server with real challenge.
