Alvarium SMP - Past Seasons

Season 1: The Founders' Arc

The season to start it all, the beginning of an era! People split into groups and made their homes, with themes like Sand and machines, Crystals and magic, Deep sea and monsters, villages and cottages, and sewers of secrets. No matter where you looked, all found themselves drawn to spawn, where our story began with the first house made by two sisters.

Season 2: The Community Arc

This season was all about community and collaboration. Spawn became a bustling shopping district, with players building their homes nearby to support their shops. When fall arrived, so did a grand festival! Despite the central hub, travel was key, leading to the development of a complex nether system of paths connecting remote players.

Season 3: The Chaos Challenge

Season three was perhaps the most chaotic of them all. Starting off stuck in a very small area surrounded by mountains, the players created an underground apartment where everyone lived for weeks. After being set free, they were split into two teams—one of snow and one of mushrooms—to race for victory by completing tasks for points. Despite the mistakes and mishaps, the season ended with a memorable party celebrating the chaos.

Season 4: The Lore Begins: The CRA-16 Infection

This season was the true start of deep lore. Players awoke in a laboratory and escaped into a zombie-filled city. They soon discovered they were infected, and the villain was an AI named CRA-16 (Craig). The quest for a cure led to insanity, betrayal, and widespread death. After the final battle, only three survivors remained, ushering in a new era of humanity.

Season 5: The Return to Community

After the intensity of Season 4, peace returned. Players embraced individual themes again, and the server settled back into fun, chaotic community and playful pranks. Though a small thread of lore continued, the focus was mostly on collaboration and simple enjoyment, with some old characters making memorable guest appearances.

Season 6: The Fading Mystery: Entities in the Woods

A season shrouded in mystery where luring entities in the woods were the central theme. The nature of its conclusion remains ambiguous; even the beings who tell the tale are unsure how this season ended—it simply seemed to fade away. The fate of these players is left open, perhaps to be revisited one day.

Season 7: Awaiting the Next Era

To come soon, a tale yet to be written. The stage is being set, the rules are being finalized, and the next great story is waiting to unfold. Maybe you, the viewer, will find yourself on this stage and become part of Alvarium history?
