Dream SMP

The Dream SMP (sometimes referred to as DSMP; formerly as the Dream Team SMP) was an invite-only survival multiplayer (SMP) Minecraft server. Created by YouTubers Dream and GeorgeNotFound; they roleplayed alongside many fellow Minecraft content creators as fictionalized versions of themselves within a loose overarching storyline. Livestreamed by participants on Twitch and YouTube, it was the subject of one of the most popular Minecraft web series. The server was officially shut down on April 10, 2023. History and plot The Dream SMP was created by Dream and GeorgeNotFound in April or May 2020 as a small server for a few friends. It quickly gained popularity, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic and collaborations across various Twitch channels. It starred fellow Minecraft YouTubers such as Sapnap and TommyInnit, who roleplayed as characters loosely based on themselves. They engaged in lengthy conflicts over political power and rare artifacts. Most content was improvised, apart from major plot points which were loosely scripted in advance. Wilbur Soot, who planned many of the early story arcs, said in an interview for Insider, "I write up a series of plot hooks and points that should tie together, however we improv dialogue and comedy throughout to take us from point to point." The server had over 20 "eras" in its plotline and over 30 characters as of August 2021. The server's early storyline was inspired by Hamilton, and the musical was referenced many times by the server members.
