Where the hell am I supposed to get players?

I hate to say this but survival with RPG elements such as custom items or mobs are extremely common these days. I was running a similar server and the sheer amount of servers that are quite literally clones, made it unrealistic for me to continue pursuing. I'm trying something else now that is more unique. My advice: Keep the existing elements, especially if you like them. Innovate and create something unique your server has that'll retain folks and is unlikely to be found elsewhere. A VRIO analysis is valuable, especially for this sort of industry. I'd say try to find an immediate thematic hook to bring people in, or an immediate mechanical difference between your server and others. Maybe you add a custom smithing system example:https://mcmodels.net/model/blacksmith-pack/ Maybe your server has some lore behind why there are dungeons. Maybe there are several different factions fighting for control of the world? Maybe there is an overarching plotline? Maybe every month you have a major server event players can participate in which pushes the storyline forward and introduces new dungeons? And lastly, hire staff. Any moderators, any builders, whoever. People will stay to be staff and that'll give you people online. End of the day, if they really aren't a good fit, let go of them later once you find better options. Bottom line is they could help you grow and retain players. 🤷
