Come up with a concept Who is your character?
> Food for thought:
> Are they mean/nice/funny/friendly?
> Do they have a job/role they play in general? Mason, assassin, queen or king, whatever you want
> Who on the SMP do you want to develop relationships with?
Start asking to do lore Lore does not have to be streamed. It can be planned or spontaneous.
Come to the table with a date and time General concepts will not come to fruition unless YOU make it happen. No one else will plan your lore for you!
Come to the table with a concept Asking to just do lore with people is great, but if you don’t have an idea it’s less likely to happen.
Come with a general idea in mind (“I want to meet people!” “I want to kill someone!” “I want to train someone in combat!”) and go from there.Keep track of your lore Write recaps and post them. Do them right after you do lore - it’s much harder to recall later after time has passed, and if you didn’t stream/record it you have no record of what happened other than your memory. Post these recaps in #📢-updates-and-recaps.Keep a doc of your lore for your own reference
> Relationships w others
> Relationships w the server gods
> What you did each timeBe aware of other people’s lore > Read the recaps that get posted. This makes it easier to plan how you and another character may interact.
> Read their carrd bios
> Pay attention to their plans in the writer’s room
> Ask questions and demand responses (kindly and respectfully)
> Do so in the writer’s roomPing @Active Lore Character in the discord if you want responses
> Ask for feedback and continue asking occasionally until someone responds - don’t let your questions get lost (but make sure you give time for people to respond)
>This is where the demand part comes in - be persistent. Many people have channels muted and therefor may not see or notice you asking things/attempting to plan lore
>Don’t be afraid to double-post or bump your messagesSet up VC lore-planning meetings I plan these occasionally, but I am too busy to do them often enough.
> Get a date and time that works for you and ask in the planning room for people to join you in setting up lore.
> Reach out to individual members who you see are actively involved in lore for informationSome good members to ask (based on if I remember them doing lore more than once or if I think they’d be familiar w it, in no particular order):Season 1

Lunar SMP Lore Basics

- Every character has a communicator; the communicator essentially functions as an in-game cell phone for your character. They can use it to make calls, video calls, and send messages. To use the text feature in lore in chat, simply type “TXT PlayerName: Message.”- Every character canonically has four lives unless otherwise stated. Your character can choose to immediately respawn after losing a canon life or wait a while and experience limbo - use “/warp go limbo” in-game to check it out. After losing all four canon lives, your character can choose to be a ghost or remain in limbo until someone discovers the Resurrection Book and resurrects you. Canon lives can only be lost if the player chooses to make the death canon.- There is no main character of the Lunar SMP, and there never will be. You make your own story on this server. You can catch up on lore using our Lore Recap Twitter or, if you're a member of Lunar, you can use the channel #📢-updates-and-recaps on the Discord. We highly recommend getting involved in your fellow members' lore any way you can!- Each realm of the Lunar SMP and several areas & items are ruled by different Gods. Think the Greek Gods - but even more annoying, somehow! Learn more about them here (LINK PENDING- DO NOT LAUNCH UNTIL COMPLETED)!QUICK LINKS:

By-Season Lore Recap

Click for Pre-Server LoreSEASON ONE Saw the set-up of the Lunar SMP. Characters explored the server. Groups like the Fallen Stars, a trio of stars fallen down from above, were met. We met c!Tex, the friendly owner of the Smithy, as well as his evil alter-ego, Logan, who killed many members of the server. The Fallen Stars had secrets though - c!Rose had a past relationship with the Moon that ended badly, and c!Mya found out that she was Nyx, the "daughter" of the Moon. c!Tuki, the other member of the Fallen Stars, searched for their past. They were a childhood friend of the Sun's, as well as a past roommate of c!Sav's. c!Sav had a brief relationship with the Sun, that fizzled out (along with their eyes in a really bad breakup). c!Tuki later found out that the Sun had murdered their parents. c!Sav and c!Rose dated briefly, but it all ended when c!Rose, influenced by an unknown, angry source, blew up c!Sav's father's fishing boat. The season ended with the reveal there there more than two gods...there were seven rulers of the Nether, who had just broken free in the Overworld.SEASON TWO began with a bang! New faces joined the server, just in time for them to be influenced by the Seven Deadly Sins, who were trying to take over the Overworld. Many different storylines happened - too many to count! We recommend reading under the Character Masterlist so you can see just how many members were influenced by the Sins. In the finale of Season 2A, the Sun and Moon fell to the Seven Deadly Sins, and were locked away in the Nether. The Sins took over, influencing many members and causing chaos. In the Season 2A finale, a brave group of members broke out the Sun and Moon from their prison and returned them to the Overworld...only to find out that the duo were now mortals. To return their powers, the members were sent on a quest to return their power orbs. Members searched, stole, and fought for these orbs, before finally returning them in the Season 2B finale, where the Sun and Moon returned to power in the Overworld, gods once-more.SEASON THREE The Ocean gods, angry with the Moon for not doing her job (despite being in prison?), stole all of the water from Spawn Town. Members were tasked with finding a way to return the water, until a new God, Vulcan, the god of weapons, decided to finally do something due to the crops dying. Vulcan was later revealed to be the father of c!Ever, a local weapons maker. With the water returned, a new God War started to break out. Politics heated up this season, ultimately taking over when the demon Belial revealed themselves as the server's newest deadly foe. c!Mya / Nyx found out that the Moon was not her true parent, that is was another god, Asteria, and the Moon had kidnapped her as a child. Many Children of the End appeared this season, along with revealing c!Tex to be named Elirion, a Child of Ender as well. A mysterious figure known as the Advisor appeared, trying to help c!Tex / Elirion with his newfound power, all while never revealing his face.With all of the chaos (and additional stories we couldn't even count), no one noticed the rift that had begun to form. In a final showdown, watching one of her great friends (c!Kit) - if not, her only friend - about to perish before her eyes, c!Bell, for the first time in her life, began to panic. Her eyes glew bright red and a loud excruciating scream invaded the ears of everyone around the land.Suddenly, it was all gone. The Gods and their enemies were no longer fighting, and had somehow disappeared, leaving behind a hole of ash, dirt, and blood. Some of them died, while others were seen fleeing the area, with a promise to return in the future.Season 3 was the end of all Gods.Vulcan, the god of weapons, warned that the Rift was about to open, and the server was sucked into a time warp, launching them, 1000 years into the future.SEASON FOUR As we jumped into the future 1000 years, we arrived at the time of yet another Spawn Town Election. Belial, the local demon, won Judge. They made quick work of killing Rat, the two time winning mayor, and taking over their position. As their new laws continued to escalate, threatening the town, a new group was formed within a secret society formed by "Nestor" in the Adventurers Guild, called the Guardians. As the year finished up at another election, the Guardians successfully exorcised Belial from Bell's body, defeating him. In a final blow, their bodyguard, Pizza, unleashed all of his rage on the members of Spawn Town, killing many. All of this happened, right as Lazar and his group of piglins emerged to take over the Overworld, who was eventually taken down.NOW there is a time of peace on Lunar, but as always, there are new enemies lurking in the shadows...

Pre-Server Lore Recap

PRO-TIP: This is the simplified version of the lore. Each character has more details within their profile on what actually happened. We recommend reading those as well for the FULL story!In the beginning (known as Year 0), a being known as the "Creator" used his powers of creation to create the gods that would rule over the Overworld, The Nether, and the End.The balance of their godly powers dictated that there had to be an even divide. This meant that if someone else was ruling one of the realms, a god could not come up to their realm and try to take over without draining their own power. This would stop certain beings from becoming TOO powerful.The division of power was this:THE OVERWORLD
Two twins, the Sun and the Moon, ruled with the help of the species known as Fairies. This division of power helped them to make the seasons change and the says change from day to night, keeping the tides from being out of control. There are several subdivisions of gods, all having their own domain.The Sun / Helios - Sunrises, Sunsets, Crops (indirectly)
The Moon / Selene - The Moon phases, the tides (indirectly)
The Ocean God & His Children - Control over the tides, as well as the biomes and beings residing in them
Vulcan - God of Weapons
Vera - Goddess of Shields
Evander - God of Archery
⟒☊⌰⟟⌿⌇⟒ - ☌⍜⎅⎅⟒⌇⌇ ⍜⎎ ⏁⊑⟒ ⟒☊⌰⟟⌿⌇⟒THE NETHER
Partially ruled by the Creator's original creations, Wrath and Pride, the power was eventually divided between the other Sins; Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Sloth, and Lust. Each Sin was set to rule over a specific biome and mob, but Wrath and Pride kept those powers to themselves until they deemed another Sin worthy and ready to receive these powers.Wrath - Rules over the Nether Fortress and it’s Wither Skeletons
Pride - Rules over the Nether Wastes and it’s Ghasts
Lust - Rules over the Crimson Forests and Blazes
Gluttony - Rules over the Basalt Deltas and it’s Magma Cubes
Greed - Rules over the Bastions and it’s Piglins
Sloth - Rules over the Soul Sand Valleys and it’s Skeletons.
Envy - Rules over the Warped Forests, but because of the Endermen already being taken, does not have a mob of his own - Wrath and Pride both say he is not ready. Instead, he controls the mycelium network and can listen into anyone in the Overworld or Nether through the mushrooms that grow naturally in every location.THE END
Lilith, is the only ruler of the End, due to the Creator's favoritism. She was cast out, due to her relations with several beings, and the other gods stopped communicating with her and sealed her realm so only people who found the scarce End Portals could contact her and reach the realm. She can shift into a dragon and does not have a limited number of lives, this is what enables the ender dragon to continuously respawn. Lilith lets the players respawn her dragon as many times as they want, due to her love of helping the humans. The ruler of the End controls all the Endermen no matter what realm they are in and uses them to spy on the rest of the server and keep tabs on those brave enough to explore their realm.OTHER OVERWORLD GODS - EXPANDEDVulcan was a minor god, who had the power to make overpowered weapons, and was the creator of the Seven Swords, as well as Selene’s Blade and Helios’ Blade. He supplied all the gods with weapons to fight their battles, but remained to be a pacifist and never took sides in their quarrels - this made him one of the Creator's favorites. Along with Vulcan's creation, came Evander, the god of Archery, and Vera, the goddess of shields.Additionally, in the Overworld, a King, Trident, was created as a God to rule over the oceans and their tides. As more biomes formed, his children were created to rule over these biomes:Sage, Ruler of the Cold Ocean
Emeraldina, Ruler of the Warm Ocean
Opal, Ruler of the Deep Ocean
Serena, Ruler of the Deep Cold Ocean
Neva, Ruler of the Frozen Ocean
Kai, Ruler of the Deep Frozen Ocean
Cordelia, Ruler of the Lukewarm Ocean
Mira, Ruler of the Deep Lukewarm OceanGOD WARAfter the creation of the last god of the server (Envy), the Creator started to go mad with power, hurting many of the gods and people of the Lunar SMP in the process. Everything was out of balance with the Creator and this caused some of the older gods (Wrath, Pride, and Lilith) to take action. They locked the Creator underground where they could (supposedly) not hurt anyone - unbeknownst to them, the Creator started to multiply into smaller beings underground, festering and waiting for travelers to stumble upon them.With the Creator locked away, Wrath and Pride tried to find ways to take charge. They did what they’d always wanted to do, locking Lilith away in the end despite her help. The gods quickly scattered to their separate areas, trying to avoid anymore problems and just do their jobs. Throughout the years, Wrath and Pride tried many times to extend their reach to the Overworld - the only time they succeeded, they struck down the Fairies from their deity status, making them just another species on the Lunar SMP rather than gods.AFTERMATHMany problems occurred over the thousands of years the Lunar SMP has existed.The main problem, the original problem, was that the Sun and Moon could not see each other without causing an eclipse. These eclipses would cause the oceans to be out of alignment, angering the King of the Ocean in the process. The Council eventually decided it was best for everyone on the SMP for them to only get to see each other during the naturally occurring eclipse, where they’d meet at their shrines and get to spend time together. The Sun and Moon seemingly agreed, continuing to help the humans. The Moon loved the humans and even helped them create Spawn Town.This angered the Sun, that he didn’t get to see the Moon as often as he wanted to. On top of thankless humans, the Sun used his anger to create the Pillagers, in hopes it would defeat the humans and they could go back to spending all their time with their twin. The Moon though, could not let this happen to the people they cared so much for. The Moon, with the help of Lust and Pride, gifted the humans Ancient Debris and taught them to convert it to Netherite, enchanting weapons strong enough to teach the citizens to fight back against the Pillagers.The Moon, enraged when she found out what her twin had done, fought with the Sun. The two got in an intense battle, destroying Spawn Town in the process and their relationship. The Sun vowed to end the humans and create an eternal eclipse, before moving out of their shared home and into his home base, drowning his sorrows in alcohol created by the humans. The Moon, emotional and upset, used her powers to create a new Spawn Town and reset spawn to Spawn Island, making her home above it and looking down at the humans she cared so much for.Seeing this fight, the King of Mer fled from the Council, no longer wishing to be involved due to all the infighting and wishing to keep his children and his people safe from everything. The Council saw this as a betrayal and tried to erase all knowledge of the Mer King from the Lunar SMP’s history, but the Fairy Archive hid one book on them deep in the back of the library.This was the current situation, up until Season 1 of the Lunar SMP.

Recapping your Lore the Lunar SMP

What is a lore recap? A lore recap is a brief recap of what lore you did on what day. Think of it like telling a story to someone - you wouldn't write out the entire dialogue and actions. If you are familiar with the lore update accounts from different Minecraft SMPs, think of it as that - but you recap your own lore.WHY do we recap your lore? Again, think of other SMPs. It is extremely hard, especially with older ones, to track the story down. We value your stories and want to make sure they aren't lost.Okay, so how do I recap my lore? Pretty simple!1) Navigate to the #📢-updates-and-recaps channel under the Lore category of our Discord. You can see here how others have recapped their lore as well.2) Title your lore (if you don't want to think of a title, just put your character's name and that it's their lore, and what date you did it on.3) Type a brief explanation of what happened and use bullet points or dashes. Keep is simple. Like I said, you are telling the story to people who weren't there.
> RECAPPING RULE: If the character's name is the same as the player's name they use, you must use c! in front of their name, to indicate this is a character.4) Link a VOD or video if you post one! This is NOT required. It is not even required to stream or record your lore, you can do lore and never post it anywhere.Once this is completed, moderators will try to post the updates in a timely manner to @LunarSMPUpdates on Twitter / X as a thread. We may reach out and ask for your social media handle for credits - if you don't want it posted with your recap, no worries! Just let us know either way. It would help us out a lot if you included your social media if you wish to be credited, but it is not a rule!______________________________________________________________________________________Bee has created some helpful information for people posting lore recaps:As we tweet out recaps, we're refining and deciding on the style in which we want to tweet them out. We tweet them all out in the same way, so as we edit them we realize there are some things that we're consistently editing as we go through them. These are in no way targeted at anyone, just things we've noticed that we've changed for many people. If you guys are willing), you could really help us out by doing these things as you write your summaries:- use lowercase c's when indicating characters (ex: "c!Bee" instead of "C!Bee")- capitalize all character names (ex: "c!Bee" instead of "c!bee")- no spaces between the c! and the character name (ex: "c!Bee" instead of "c! Bee" or "c !Bee)- add periods to the end of each lore recap message (ex: "c!Bee leapt off the mountain. instead of "c!Bee leapt off the mountain")- don't add "c!" in front of god names (ex: Lust instead of c!Lust)- Add "-" at the beginning of each new bullet for easy reading (bc there's more separation btwn each point)- If you don't know something that happened or what something is called, feel free to ask a mod or whoever did the lore with you! We usually have to go into the vod to try and figure out what that "something" is or who killed who so that the recap doesn't say "and then someone else died idk who" (that is not a quote of anyone's words that's just an example!!).- It's helpful if you link the vod you're recapping and give us a title for your lore at the beginning/end of the recap.- It's helpful to include the date of the lore (Twitch says "X days ago" which can be confusing)- Lastly, remember that these recaps are meant to keep people up to date on the lore, and if all the recaps are long they can get lost. Try to keep them as short, sweet, and to the point as possible while still not leaving out the important details:)

Building on the Lunar SMP

- You can build anywhere on the Lunar SMP as long as it does not build too close (within 20-25 blocks of the players' area) to another build. For example, do not build directly on top of someone’s house/build without asking if it’s okay first. If you're wondering if you're too close, just ask in the #mod-helpline!- You may build in Spawn Town and all adjacent expansions. We only ask that if you open a shop, you put at least 10 blocks between yourself and other players' shops / builds. If you notice all expansions are full, contact moderators in the #mod-helpline channel on the Discord, and we will continue to expand the town. You will frequently see fenced in areas with signs stating "open shops" during the expansion process. You do not need to pay anyone or do anything except use the sign to claim it so someone doesn't take the area.- When it comes to building in communities, please ask the community leader/owner for permission first. For example, if you want to build in Rivershore, you’d contact the player that owns it, Cait.- Mob farms and redstone farms are allowed as long as they don’t lag the server - if the server starts to lag, you will be asked to remove your farm. Your farms cannot cause damage to the server, other builds, or players.- Anyone can start a community on Lunar! It does not have to be lore, either.- Once your Nether portal is created, moderators will connect it to the Nether Highway system. You can ask for this to be connected (without pinging) by posting in the #mod-helpline channel on the Discord, with the coords of your portal in the Nether.- Please be respectful of your fellow members of Lunar, you are not permitted to make rude/mean comments towards someone’s build or building style.- Due to the server's age, we have the alternate worlds system, in order to obtain new update items. You can go to these areas by using the /warps in chat. You CANNOT build here, as builds will not save, and it is regularly reset with each significant Minecraft update.

Playing Regular Survival Minecraft on the Lunar SMP

While the Lunar SMP has some heavy lore, some players do not engage in lore. At the end of the day, we are an SMP: a survival multiplayer server. No one is obligated to be involved with lore or ever make a character (pressuring someone to do/engage with lore with you is against our lore rules section). We made this server to play with our friends, when we started! First and foremost, we are a vanilla, survival Minecraft server.FARMS- Farms are permitted on the server as long as they do not lag - if lagging beings, you will be asked to remove it.- The Lunar SMP has several community farms for your use including a villager trading hut. Please ensure that you feed the animals/replant if you use community farms.- Mob farms and redstone farms are allowed as long as they don’t lag the server - if the server starts to lag, you will be asked to remove your farm. Your farms cannot cause damage to the server, other builds, or players.KILLING- Killing members without their permission for whatever reason (a joke, to take items, etc) is not permitted.GAMEMODE- Your gamemode will not be taken out of survival for any reason unless you are on the moderator team. Moderators use creative to do large lore builds, do server maintenance, etc.BUILDING- You can build anywhere on the Lunar SMP as long as it does not build too close (within 20-25 blocks of the players' area) to another build. For example, do not build directly on top of someone’s house/build without asking if it’s okay first. If you're wondering if you're too close, just ask in the #mod-helpline!- You may build in Spawn Town and all adjacent expansions.

It does not have to be lore, either.- When it comes to building in communities, please ask the community leader/owner for permission first. For example, if you want to build in Rivershore, you’d contact the player that owns it, Cait.OBTAINING HARD-TO-GET & NEW GAME ITEMS- Due to the server's age, we have the alternate worlds system, in order to obtain new update items. You can go to these areas by using the /warps in chat. You CANNOT build here, as builds will not save, and it is regularly reset with each significant Minecraft update.- Before asking moderators for an item, check the special trade hall, located by our main trade hall at /warp go trade. We have many villagers that will trade special items with you (such as invisible item frames, lights, phantom membrane) due to lack of availability on the server.- The following items & mobs are not available on the Lunar SMP: Phantom and phantom membranes
