Element Servers is expanding its long-standing Rust community, which has been active for three years, to include Minecraft with the launch of their server Element SMP, specifically designed for version 1.20.4. Though they have hosted Minecraft previously, they decided to make their offerings public with the release of version 1.20.1. Element SMP focuses on an enhanced survival multiplayer experience, referred to as Hard mode+ Vanilla++, where players can team up, play solo, or showcase their constructions to the community. Recognizing the importance of community involvement in creating an enjoyable gaming environment, Element Servers actively encourages feedback through Discord, allowing players to voice their thoughts and suggestions, although participation in the platform is not mandatory for gameplay.
The server recently underwent a fresh wipe on July 9th, 2023, at 7 PM CST and is not expected to wipe again for the foreseeable future unless a specific patch necessitates it. To maintain a personal environment for players, the server has a player cap set at 50, and it is hosted on a dedicated server located in the Midwest, ensuring high-quality and smooth gameplay for all participants. This careful hosting approach aims to provide an optimal experience as the community grows within the new Minecraft server.
