SMP servers provide Minecraft players with an opportunity to create their own in-game universe. SMPs often involve established community rules and lore, created entirely by players within the server.
Perhaps the most well known SMP is the wildly popular Dream SMP that features Minecraft YouTubers such as Dream, GeorgeNotFound, Karl Jacobs, TommyInnit, and many more.
For players who want to start one of these highly engaging multiplayer worlds but aren’t sure how to go about the process, the following provides a general overview of creating a Minecraft SMP.
Minecraft SMP basics for beginners
Making the server
There are many online tools that will host an SMP server. Some offer free services, while others will cost money and come with some added perks. Because there are so many, Minecraft players will have to examine each one they find and determine which server service would work best for their SMP.
Once decided, whoever sets up the server will need to share the address with anyone else who will be joining.
Because this step only requires one party, there subsequently comes the notion that the one who sets up the server will have an advantage over the others since this initial player has the ability to control whether or not cheats will be turned on or off.
As a result, players may want to establish a set of in-game technical rules prior to booting up the server for the first time.
Luckily, SMPs typically have two or more players involved. With multiple gamers involved to help, defeating the ender dragon will be easier than ever before. Venturing off to find its stronghold is sure to be much more fun with friends.
Once everyone has worked together to beat the game, each player can reap the benefits of continuing to survive after the main boss has been defeated.

After the participating SMP players have established themselves on the server, all there’s left to do is explore the rest of the world around them and conquer the land by expanding their builds far and wide.
