Shacknews

The Shacknews Minecraft SMP is long running SMP formed around the Shacknews "chatty forum" community: https://www.shacknews.com. Our community has been around since the late 90s, mostly geared towards PC/Console gaming and originally the website was focused on news for id Software's Quake. But grew to cover all gaming topics over the years. Considering we've been around since the 90s, most of our community is older gamers in our 30s-40s. We're welcoming to gamers of any age though!

I've been running the one of Minecraft servers for the Shacknews community since the Minecraft Alpha days in 2010.  Our server is PvE focused, mostly on building projects, redstone farms and is pretty laid back. Typically we haven't done server economies or shopping districts, usually shared farms and sharing resources with everyone playing on the server. We are always welcome to feedback, suggestions with all the members and very transparent with all server decisions.

Usually we reset the world for our server on every major Minecraft release, typically once a year.  Sometimes it's gone longer between resets if a new Minecraft update hasn't changed much.  The past few years we've seen interest in Minecraft drop off in our community and a lot of regulars depart.  So we've decided to open up the server to players outside of Shacknews.  We are looking to bring in gamers that are 21+ years old.

Our server is currently is running a custom-made Fabric Modpack on Java v1.21.1. The modpack could basically be categorized as Vanilla++ with some good QoL and a few storage & tech mods thrown in! The world on our server was reset with the release of 1.21, so the world is still pretty fresh. There is some development around spawn, but most of the world is untouched.
