Custom Plugins

We code custom plugins for most of our advanced features. Nothing here is copy & paste. Brutality SMP runs on code we write and maintain ourselves.

  • We're not copy & paste
  • We set ourselves apart
  • We maintain our own custom code

A small, crowded overworld map

You can run, but you can't hide

Tiny World

The world is capped at a 1,000-block radius. You can't wander a million blocks out and dig a secret base. Everyone lives close together, and every base can be found.

  • 1,000 × 1,000 block world
  • Raises the stakes of PvP
  • No isolated corners to hide in

1,000 block radius · More PvP

Players at the start of a fresh map

No perma progression

Monthly Resets

On the 1st of every month the map and all progression are wiped. Veterans can't hoard gear and rule forever, and every reset can bring new features and tweaks.

  • Endless replayability
  • Veterans stay beatable
  • A new experience every reset

Resets monthly · 12AM Eastern

A spread of Minecraft food

Eating won't save you

Hunger & Healing

We reworked hunger and healing for a more BRUTAL experience. Your health only comes back through potions and other items you discover.

  • Heal only with potions & discovered items
  • Hunger drains faster
  • Food fills you up less

Think critically

To PvP or Not?

With everything else trying to kill you, every fight is a gamble. Is their loot worth it? Will the noise draw mobs? Is someone better geared watching? Sometimes working together is the smarter play.

  • Is the fight worth the risk?
  • Gear up first, or strike now?
  • Mobs don't care who started it

The world is tough enough

Enjoy it while it lasts
