ideas to make the server more active?
i am hosting a Vanilla+ or semi modded SMP
For about 15 - 30 players
where everyone has his own base and there is shops etc
the server still gives the vanilla feel
meaning there is no claims and this stuff
but there is still coreprotect if someone do something stupid
so its something supposed to be like hermitcraft (just the concept)
but because we are not youtubers there is no motiviation for the players to play that much and build
i care about all type of players i have data[acks for exploration and stellarity for new end adventure , but i still do not need the server to end as soon as we kill the dragon
what should i add to make players always motivated?

Events are very motivating for your players if there are rewards behind them or you could do semi-frequent updates that add new blocks, structures, mobs, items, etc
yes i did the semi updates thing
i updated to 1.21 and added stellarity so they can explore the end and dungeons and taverns for new strucutres and enchancments
can u tell me example of events that i can do
You could do holiday events at Easter, Christmas, etc, or weekly events like headhunt, spleef, tag, or quarterly events like team build competitions
is thered atapacks or plugins for those events
if i want to make headhunt but i do not want people to lose items etc
You could do something as basic as hiding a head at spawn depending on how built up your spawn is
I am not sure if there are data packs available, I guess so, but I normally manage these things with command blocks etc
great !
i would recommend more creative events
like a build competition, scavenger hunt, battle royale, etc
write a storyline to go with it and make the event have many features like stages for rewards
On my server, I did events, fun little minigames, little contest for builds, etc. Something which I did that helped with players staying more active is quests i had roughly 1600 quests made which players loved to do since it would keep them on the server longer trying to grind and be #1. For rewards you could just do something small e.g. in game items or give rank(s) to the user to make them stand out for finishing quests.
However, your biggest thing besides events, quests, etc. Is YOU interacting with the players, helping them, talking to them, messing around, etc. Build a sense of community, its something that goes a long way with servers over anything imo.
is there any plugins that do this?
i feel that hosting events manually is very hard
Honestly, I'm not to sure of any plugins. I had a 4-5 person staff team who would manually do all the events.
Oh got it thanks
