AuroraSMP is a Hermitcraft style SMP that has been running since April 2025 and it has around 36 members.

It is whitelist only so you have to apply to get in. The server runs in seasons and it swaps between vanilla and modded. Even numbered seasons are vanilla and odd numbered seasons are modded.

Between the main seasons there are mini seasons that are shorter and they have a big gimmick. Past gimmicks include stuff like anarchy and skyblock.

This season has a Taski company gimmick where you can roll a task like a prank or a social challenge. If you do it with video proof you can earn 1 to 3 Taski Tokens. Tokens can be traded for diamonds at a rate of 1 token for 3 diamonds.

There is also a datapack called ModelApplier that lets players add custom item models for things like hats armour and decorations. It uses Blockbench models and textures and you send the files to aoa. It can also be used to make armour invisible by renaming it to aurora:invis and applying the model in the menu.
