# PlushSMP Expanded Public Reference Canonical website: https://www.plushsmp.com/ Minecraft hostname: plushsmp.com Scheduled public opening: 2026-08-07T16:00:00-04:00 (2026-08-07T20:00:00Z) Last updated: 2026-07-24 ## Identity And Positioning PlushSMP is a long-term, family-friendly Minecraft survival community. Its visual and gameplay identity centers on collectible craftable stuffies, playful props, community projects, protected homes, player-driven trade, quests, journals, and events. It is designed for builders, collectors, explorers, traders, families, and adults seeking a calmer community. It is not advertised as a child-only service. PlushSMP is not affiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft. Minecraft accounts and platform services remain subject to their providers' terms and privacy policies. ## Joining At Launch Java and Bedrock players use the hostname `plushsmp.com` and enter the same persistent world. - Java Edition: Minecraft 1.21.11, TCP port 25565. - Bedrock Edition: current supported Bedrock release, UDP port 19132. - Opening: Friday, August 7, 2026 at 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, equivalent to 20:00 UTC. The website countdown changes to an open message after that instant. The launch date is a scheduled operational target, not a guarantee against emergency delay. ## World And Gameplay The launch world is a bounded, pre-generated Terralith and Structory survival world intended for long-term use rather than seasonal resets. PlushSMP does not claim that failures can never cause interruption or data loss; backup and restore procedures reduce risk. Keep-inventory is off. A death creates a protected persistent death box with a 72-hour expiration. A bounded `/back` recovery route may be available when its safety and payment checks pass. The custom collection includes craftable stuffies, school props, display pieces, the Little Red Plane, the X-wing, and selected special mechanics. Server-side ownership, inventory, claim, recipe, and economy outcomes are authoritative. Java and Bedrock visuals or controls can differ. Claims support personal and team ownership with granular trust for building, containers, entities, redstone, and management. Protection covers common direct and indirect mutation paths, including blocks, containers, entities, pistons, hoppers, fluids, fire, explosions, vehicles, and projectiles. ## Economy And Community Plush Coins and progression rewards are earned through gameplay. PlushSMP does not offer paid gameplay advantages. The player economy includes bounded server selling, escrow-backed market listings, and revisioned direct trades. Currency operations, delivery receipts, inventory handoffs, and recovery paths are designed to be transactional and auditable. Community systems include playtime progression, weekly quests, fishing and discovery journals, civic projects, community events, build contests, fixed-policy rewards, cosmetics, teams, consensual player travel, homes, portals, and opt-in PvP. ## Rules Summary The full authoritative rules are at https://www.plushsmp.com/rules.html. Players must be kind and inclusive; protect personal information; play fairly; respect builds and claims; use consent; avoid evading safety controls; keep public content family-friendly; avoid spam, malicious links, scams, and advertising; avoid lag machines and exploit abuse; and use private reports and appeals rather than public retaliation. Prohibited conduct includes harassment, discrimination, slurs, hate speech, sexual content, threats, grooming behavior, doxxing, griefing, theft, hacked clients, x-ray, duplication, exploit abuse, impersonation, false reports, evidence tampering, filter evasion, ban evasion, and retaliation. ## Safety And Moderation Public-text safeguards cover chat and other public naming/text surfaces. Chat controls include cooldown, burst, duplicate, unapproved-link, and personal-contact protections. A player's persistent `/ignore` list filters public chat and supported direct messages. `/report ` creates a private, rate-limited report for authorized staff. `/appeal create ` creates a private moderation appeal. Report evidence references and review changes use an audit timeline. Moderation can include guidance, warnings, content removal, temporary mute, kick, access restriction, restoration, temporary ban, or permanent ban. Serious safety and security issues can skip lower steps. Staff permissions are separated by duty and sensitive actions are audited. Land claims and block activity records support grief prevention, investigation, and restoration. PlushSMP does not promise a specific response time without measured staffing coverage. ## Family Guidance Family-friendly does not mean risk-free or a replacement for supervision. Hard survival includes combat, loss, caves, and online interaction. Families should review the rules together, configure age-appropriate Microsoft and platform privacy settings, keep real-world information private, and encourage players to disengage, ignore, and report instead of escalating. PlushSMP does not advertise forced parent teleports, public child-location tracking, or precise live player coordinates. Staff are not babysitters or emergency services. ## Privacy Summary The full privacy notice is at https://www.plushsmp.com/privacy.html. Game operation can process authenticated UUIDs, player names, platform capability, sessions, playtime, progression, settings, claims, teams, balances, transactions, shops, markets, trades, portals, homes, death boxes, events, quests, journals, projects, inbox metadata, moderation actions, reports, appeals, safety-filter records, connection-security data, and grief-investigation records. The custom IP-ban system uses salted keyed hashes rather than plaintext IP addresses. Infrastructure logs can temporarily process connection addresses. Authorized staff access is limited by operational duty. Reports, appeals, evidence, and moderation records are not public content. Precise live player locations are not published by default. The static website has no account forms, advertising trackers, third-party analytics, social pixels, payment collection, external fonts, or application cookies. DreamHost can create standard request logs as the web host. ## Availability And Limitations PlushSMP is a community-operated service provided without a guarantee of uninterrupted uptime or perfect preservation. Maintenance, defects, hardware failure, attacks, provider failures, safety incidents, and force majeure can interrupt operation. Virtual builds, ranks, coins, claims, stuffies, cosmetics, and items have no guaranteed real-world monetary value. Players should not trade them for real money unless a future written policy explicitly permits it. No public voice-chat feature, precise live-player map, renewable resource world, or immediate staff-response guarantee is part of the stated launch feature set. ## Canonical URLs - Home: https://www.plushsmp.com/ - Guide: https://www.plushsmp.com/guide.html - Rules: https://www.plushsmp.com/rules.html - Families: https://www.plushsmp.com/families.html - FAQ: https://www.plushsmp.com/faq.html - Launch status: https://www.plushsmp.com/status.html - Privacy: https://www.plushsmp.com/privacy.html - Terms: https://www.plushsmp.com/terms.html - Structured facts: https://www.plushsmp.com/server-info.json
