Empires SMP

The ***Empires SMP***, or just ***Empires***, is a private vanilla Minecraft survival multiplayer (SMP) server created on June 12th, 2021 by fWhip. The SMP includes YouTubers who rule their respective empires, which are separate nations that can trade, fight, and collaborate with each other's. Each empire takes an area of the server and can only expand in that location. Over time, various trade deals, wars and peace treaties between the nations may take place.

The creators focus a lot on kingdom-building, and the series includes a moderate amount of roleplay and storytelling. Many of the series' members make an effort to keep their content family friendly, but OrionSound, MythicalSausage and SmallishBeans are the exception.

### Mods

*Main: Mods*
*Empires* holds firmly to the vanilla survival aspect of the game and has only cosmetic mods, which add some custom-looking items and mobs to their world. Some members also have minor client-side mods like minimaps and freecams, plus the server has a resource pack or two installed.
