Essential thisweekinchess Minecraft Servers

About Us

The Club SMP is an 18+ vanilla Minecraft server started in early 2022 with the goal of uniting a community of friends using Minecraft as a medium. We believe that true fun in Minecraft comes with the interactions and friends you make while playing. Whether you are a beginner or a long-time veteran of the game, we welcome you with open arms to our family!

We pride ourselves in our community and strive to keep players engaged with active events and projects. All major decisions are made based on the community’s input and players are never out of the picture. In addition, our economy is driven by player-ran shops that allow anyone to ‘get rich’ dealing business. Here at the Club SMP, every player is a crucial component of an ever-growing and interactive community.

Hardware & Setup

Alongside our amazing community, we also boast a fully self-hosted dedicated machine for the server, running modern blazing-fast hardware topped off with carefully tweaked server-sided optimization mods. This ensures minimal impact of lag while maintaining vanilla parity and allows our players to focus on what matters the most: gameplay. Furthermore, this setup allows us to have room for expansion, with a future plan of providing an accessible test/creative server for the community to plan their projects.

Server Specs:

Platform	Fabric 1.21
Location	San Jose, California, United States
CPU	AMD Ryzen 5 7600X

Mods & Tweaks

We run a variety of server-sided optimization and QoL mods to enhance the player experience. We also provide our players with a custom (optional) client modpack, tailored for performance and useful features. Players playing on the vanilla client will still be able to connect to the server, as all mods used are strictly client-sided or server-sided!
