I THE ARRIVAL

All humans from the world died. But after death, they found themselves in a place that felt surreal and different—a realm smaller than the world they knew, bound by a 10,000 block radius.

In this Afterlife, humans felt more powerful, filled with an ethereal essence. They wandered and discovered that this world offered wonders beyond imagination.

But there was a mysterious entity lurking in the shadows: The Void. Whispers spread of a being offering power in exchange for souls.

II THE CORRUPTION

A divine being appeared, giving the humans a book with a warning: "Beware the Void." But blinded by power, many chose to trade their essence for strength.

With each death—whether accidental, intentional, or in battle—their soul was traded to the Void. This granted immense power but came with a price: corruption.

The corrupted fought amongst themselves while searching for a cure. Many died completely, their souls fully consumed by the Void, which laughed from the shadows.

THE VOID

An incomprehensible entity that feeds on souls. Offers power in exchange for essence, corrupting everything it touches.

THE DIVINE BEING

A celestial entity who warned humanity about the Void. Provides guidance through ancient texts.

VOID-TAINED

Players who have traded too much of their soul. Glowing with void energy, they walk a fine line between power and oblivion.

III THE AWAKENING

Void-born forces awaken one by one. Guided by a prophet, players confront the Child of the Second Death, uncovering lore that leads to the Abyss Firstborn.

Its defeat plunges the entire world into endless night as nightmare mobs and corruption spread across the SMP. As time runs out and parasites invade, players face the Reaper from the Darkside.

Finally, they encounter the Void itself—an incomprehensible, near-unkillable entity tied to the corrupted Ender Dragon and the collapse of the Afterlife.

IV THE AFTERMATH

The Void is defeated, but its fall is suspicious—not by players' hands. This sets up Chapter 2, where void-tainted players, fallen souls, and banned players' accumulated rage manifests into a new being.

Abyss Reborn—meant to destroy the Void—instead becomes a greater threat against survival itself. Who has the power to change the story? Who killed the Void? Is there a greater threat lying unseen?

The corruption spreads, and the true enemy remains hidden in plain sight...

THE DIVINE MANDATES

1

NO HACKED CLIENTS

Any form of cheating, hacking, or using unauthorized modifications is strictly prohibited. This includes X-ray texture packs, fly hacks, speed hacks, or any client that provides an unfair advantage.

2

RESPECT ALL PLAYERS

Treat others with respect. No harassment, hate speech, discrimination, or personal attacks. Swearing is allowed but keep it reasonable and not directed at individuals.

3

NO EXCESSIVE PVP

PvP is allowed, but don't make the server PvP-based. No spawn camping, repeated killing of the same player, or forcing PvP on unwilling participants. 1-2 kills is fine; targeting players repeatedly is not.

4

NO ADVERTISING

Do not advertise other servers, websites, or services in chat, signs, or builds. This includes Discord servers not related to AscensionSMP.

5

NO BEGGING

Do not beg for items, ranks, OP, or special treatment. Earn everything through gameplay. Feedback is welcome, but don't demand features.

SERVER SPECIFICS

6

NO WORLD GUARD

There is no land protection. Griefing is allowed. If you build something valuable, hide it well or defend it. This is a true survival experience.

7

NO TEAM PLUGINS

Team up vanilla-style. No team teleportation, shared homes, or team plugins. Form alliances organically through trust and cooperation.

8

REPORTING ISSUES

If you have problems, report to moderators in Discord. Do not ping the owner directly unless absolutely necessary. Moderators are fast tunnels for issues.

BAN APPEAL PROCESS

If you believe you were banned unfairly:

  1. Join the Discord server
  2. Message a moderator with your Minecraft username
  3. Explain what happened and why you think the ban was unfair
  4. Wait for a response (usually within 48 hours)
  5. If the appeal is accepted, you'll be unbanned with a warning
  6. Repeat offenses result in permanent bans

Note: Void-Tained players (11 deaths) cannot appeal their ban. Their souls have been consumed by the Void permanently.

A NOTE FROM ANTROIKE

🌌 THE FRUSTRATION THAT BUILT THIS SERVER

I got tired. Tired of seeing the same cookie-cutter SMPs everywhere. Tired of servers that:

PLUGIN OVERLOAD

Just slap on another plugin without understanding how it affects gameplay. EconomyGUI, WorldGuard, Lifesteal clones...

MENU SIMULATORS

Minecraft reduced to clicking menus. Why explore when you can buy everything? Why build when you can teleport?

OVERPROTECTION

No risk, no challenge. WorldGuard everywhere. What's the point of survival if you're never in danger?

PAY-TO-WIN

Donor perks, VIP kits, paid advantages. Minecraft should be about skill, not your wallet.

⚡ WHAT MAKES ASCENSIONSMP DIFFERENT

I didn't want to build "another SMP." I wanted to build the SMP I wanted to play. Something with:

ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES

Death matters. 11 deaths and you're gone forever. Your actions have weight. Your survival matters.

EXPLORATION THAT'S REWARDED

No shops. No teleports. If you want something, go find it. The world is 10k blocks for a reason.

LORE THAT AFFECTS GAMEPLAY

Your corruption level changes how you play. The Void isn't just backstory - it's a mechanic that affects everyone.

BALANCE OVER BLOAT

Every enchantment tested. Some removed because they weren't fun. Every plugin chosen for a reason.

❤️ SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR COMMUNITY

To everyone who waited through:

"The Aternos failures...

The VPS getting hijacked...

The tunnel service issues...

The countless nights of testing and debugging...

You kept asking me to continue. You believed in this project when I wanted to quit."

This server exists because of you. Because you wanted something different too. Because you were tired of the same old SMPs.

To other server owners: Stop copying. Start creating. Build something you'd actually want to play. Your players will thank you for it.

ANTROIKE

CREATOR & ADMIN

A 15-year-old student from Bangladesh who built this entire server alone while managing studies and board exams. Tired of seeing Minecraft's potential wasted on generic SMPs, I created something with actual depth, lore, and consequences.

"This server exists because I refused to accept that 'this is just how SMPs are.' I built what I wanted to play. Maybe you'll want to play it too."

THE VISION BEHIND ASCENSIONSMP

"I didn't build another SMP. I built the SMP I wanted to play but couldn't find."

WHAT'S WRONG WITH MODERN SMPS

Most servers today follow the same tired formulas:

Lifesteal Clones

Just add a plugin, call it "Lifesteal SMP" - but they're never balanced like the original scripted servers. New players get farmed by veterans until they quit.

Economy Grindfests

Sit in an afk farm watching numbers go up. EconomyGUI shops that make exploration meaningless. Why find elytra in the End when you can buy it?

PvP Without Purpose

PvP servers that are just chaos. No lore, no reason to fight except to kill. Then they wonder why players get bored after a week.

Overprotection

WorldGuard everywhere. No griefing allowed. What's the point of survival if there's no risk? Minecraft becomes a building simulator with extra steps.

WHAT ASCENSIONSMP DOES DIFFERENTLY

DEATH HAS MEANING

Not just a respawn timer. Each death corrupts your soul, changes your abilities, and affects your gameplay. 11 deaths = permanent ban. Your life matters.

EXPLORATION IS REWARDED

Titles for visiting biomes. Custom structures everywhere. No shops - if you want something, go find it. The world is 10k blocks for a reason: explore or miss out.

LORE THAT MATTERS

Not just backstory. Your corruption level, the Void entity, the divine warnings - they affect gameplay. You're part of a story, not just playing in a sandbox.

ACTUAL BALANCE

Every enchantment tested and balanced. Some removed because they made combat unfun. Forsaken players can kill to gain hearts back. Risk vs reward everywhere.

THE CORE PRINCIPLES

1

NO HANDHOLDING

No WorldGuard. No team plugins. No safe zones. If you build something valuable, hide it or defend it. This is survival, not creative mode with extra steps.

2

NO PAY-TO-WIN

No donor perks. No VIP kits. Everyone starts equal. Your progress comes from skill and time invested, not your wallet.

3

NO GUI SPAM

No EconomyGUI. No shop plugins. If you want resources, gather them. If you want gear, craft it. Minecraft is about gameplay, not menu navigation.

4

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Every datapack chosen for a reason. Every plugin configured manually. Custom Skript code written from scratch. Nothing is "just another plugin."

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FUN AND ENJOYMENT

"Fun is what you do in your pastime whether you like it or not.
Enjoyment is what you do with giving it actually valid times."

Most SMPs are built for fun - quick dopamine hits that fade.
AscensionSMP is built for enjoyment - meaningful experiences that last.

TO OTHER SERVER OWNERS

If you're running a server and wondering why players leave after a week:

  • Are you just copying what's popular without understanding why it works?
  • Are you adding plugins without testing how they interact?
  • Are you protecting players so much that there's no challenge left?
  • Are you focusing on monetization instead of gameplay?
  • Are you building a server you'd actually want to play on for months?

I built AscensionSMP as an answer to all these questions. It's not perfect, but it's built with intention. Every feature has a purpose. Every mechanic tells a story.

Built from scratch | Built with purpose | Built to last

DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY

MARCH 2024
The idea was born. Tired of lifesteal clones and economy grindfests, I envisioned an SMP where death matters and exploration is the focus.
APRIL 2024
Learned Skript from scratch. Started coding the death system, testing every datapack combination, balancing each enchantment manually.
MAY 2024
Server development in full swing. Working through sleepless nights between board exams and depression. Built lore that actually matters.
JUNE 2024
Technical challenges: Aternos failed, VPS was hijacked, tunnel services caused issues. Almost gave up but players asked me to continue.
JULY 2024
Self-hosting setup. Bought domain, configured tunnel, optimized performance. Server ready after 600+ dollars and countless hours of work.
