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.

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:

Embark on a journey to Terra Nova 🏰, a vibrant Minecraft server where medieval tales and modern adventures intertwine (1.20.4). Though our gates opened less than a year ago, we’ve quickly become a haven for those 18+ seeking a community of mature, friendly souls, united by a love for the game and each other.

In the heart of Terra Nova, the spirit of semi-vanilla Minecraft is kept alive, enhanced with quality-of-life features that respect the essence of the game while elevating your experience. Here, the challenge of hard difficulty isn’t just a setting—it’s a testament to the courage and determination of our players.

🌍 Step into a Server Where:

Diamonds 💎 not only glitter but drive an immersive, player-driven economy. With over 15 thriving player-operated stores 🏪 and more emerging, commerce is a cornerstone of our community.

Weekly events 🎉 beckon, from agility-testing parkour challenges 🏃‍♂️, creativity-unleashing building contests 🏗️, to adrenaline-pumping PvP tournaments ⚔️, fostering camaraderie and competitive spirit.

Our BlueMap 🗺️ (Discover Terra Nova) allows you to explore our world from afar, planning your next adventure or admiring the incredible creations of fellow adventurers. (https://map.terranovasmp.net)

🛡️ Terra Nova, a 18+ Community: A beacon of kindness and maturity, where laughter and tales of valor are shared freely. Whether you’re engaging in our economy, competing for glory, or simply exploring, you’ll find companions who share your passion for the medieval mystique and the boundless possibilities of Minecraft.

💎 Strictly no P2W: Terra Nova does not sell ranks, creates or perks, we believe progression should come from perseverance and hard work!

🔥 🔥 🔥

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!
