Juneau SMP – Choose your own Minecraft Story!!

choose, Fun, Juneau, Minecraft, New Season Soon, Origins, proximity voice chat, smp, Story, Whitelist

🔥 🔥 🔥

In Juneau there is no set story, there is no set outcome.

You can start a war with others, Or completely opt out in total and just have a peaceful fun server. The whole goal of Juneau is to create the Minecraft server that each player wants.

Juneau is meant to be a server where if you have always wanted a story to tell or a thing you wanted to do but never could, Juneau is the right place to do it. If you are a relaxed player feel free to make a peaceful shopping district and some fun gardens and base with others. If you want a more exciting experience then you can wage war and fight for the best loot possible.

What Juneau has:

Juneau SMP tries to stay near (ish) to the main aspects of the game. We don’t want to mess up the experience of others by adding super specific mods that only one person knows how to use. We want everyone to be familliar with everything, and have fun.

It is a whitelist only server. You must apply to get in.

Lords Of Soot is a 1.16.5 Survival Server primarily focusing on light geopolitical roleplay; and using that as a framework for large-scale, cooperative projects, including sprawling seaports, realistic airports, and a server-spanning railway network. Beyond this; LoS features several player-ran nations; each with distinct governing and building styles, with more able to be created. All this plays out on a large-scale Terraforged map, featuring stunning rivers, mountains and vistas. LOS’s modpack is large, but well-optimized – the minimum RAM to consistently run the pack is 6gb, the minimum to load it is 4gb.

Lords Of Soot’s modpack primarily consists of Immersive Engineering and Create. Further developing industry is a customized version of Mekanism. For transportation, we have Immersive Railroading with several packs and Immersive Vehicles – and in case wars must be fought, you can use Timeless and Classic guns to fight them! If you desire a quieter life, we have several cooking, agriculture, and decorative mods, too!

Lords Of Soot currently features 5 nations; ranging from 3 to over 10 players, and differing in prevailing building style from sprawling, glittering cityscapes to grungy New England waterfronts to concrete-paneled Socialist Brutalism; all of which are friendly and more than willing to take new players into the fold.

We’ve had a storied 4-year history; with wars, nations that have risen and fallen, and spanning over 2 versions.

ARCHITECT SMP SEASON 5

EXPERIMENTAL SNAPSHOTS

We are currently playing on 1.20.4 with the 1.21 experimental snapshot features! (excluding the new trial chambers.) Having the fresh tuff blocks and extra copper additions, and more!

The ArchitectSMP is an inclusive and warm group with the aim of making a pretty world together brimming with stories, possible (super-secret) shenanigans, and amazing memories.

Our vision drives us to keep redstone use to a minimum, meaning we do have foundational rules to keep farming to a relaxed level of use.

We are looking for individuals who must be 21 years or older, preferably from the American or European time zones. Whether you’re a seasoned builder or just branching out, you’ll find a welcoming community of Architects from all walks of life who are always willing to join in, collaborate, and talk.

Join us to be connected to the stories of our homes, community areas, and player lore! From shops in the ground; to a megazord in the rocky sea. We can’t wait to see what you may create! Season 5 of Architect SMP has started late August, with plenty of time to join in on all the Season 5 shenanigans, such as our Easter District, ReSpawn community area or ArchPark Minigame Area.

-= APPLICATIONS =-

Join our discord, go to the #application channel, and fill in the application at the top!

We may ask to see screenshots of your favourite build to show us your style, inspirations, and overall vibe as a possible future Architect!
