PL. III · lumi-smp · season 1
A grind survival server where players run the market, every rich player has a price on their head, and seasons end before they get old.
Opening soon · Java and Bedrock
play.lumismp.com
In the Discord, pick Yes, count me in to get on the waitlist.
FIG. 1 · how it works
The auction house and chest shops set the prices. The server only buys a few basics in small daily amounts, so a giant AFK farm cannot print money.
Put Lumens on anyone's head. Whoever gets the kill collects. The target always finds out, so they know to watch their back.
Up to 5 players, or go solo. Each extra member costs more upkeep than the last, so teams keep the ones who show up.
Nothing is protected outside spawn. Hide your base, build defences, or find friends who will.
Spawners stack and store their loot. A big stack is a raid target: break it with Silk Touch and it's yours. The stored loot is lost.
Anticheat on, xray blocked, exploits patched fast. Report a working exploit in private and earn a reward plus the Bug Hunter role.
FIG. 2 · the maths
The economy runs on a few simple formulas. Move the sliders and see what they do. These are launch values, so beta can still tune them.
2a · the sell floor
p = b · max(f, KK + P)
The server buys 20 basics. Every unit sold by anyone adds pressure P. When P reaches the saturation K, the price is half. It never drops below the floor f (10%), and the pressure fades by half every 24 hours.
Example uses a saturation of 25 players' worth. The real value is set in beta. Selling 64 at once pays the same as one by one.
2b · bounties
killer gets = bounty × 0.90
Minimum 100 L. The 10% tax leaves the economy for good. Want to hide your name? That costs 25% extra.
Bounties last 7 days, then go back to the placer minus the tax. You can't pay off a bounty on yourself.
2c · team upkeep
cost(k) = 60 · (k − 1) L/day
The leader is free. Upkeep comes out of the team bank at midnight, charged on the most members you had that day.
Perks are tag colours, extra homes and Discord channels. Comfort and status only, never combat power.
FIG. 3 · seasons
Seasons last a few weeks, so the fast early game never wears off. Each one ends with the world closing in on spawn.
Fresh world, small border, everyone starts equal.
The border grows. First farms, first bounties.
Unlocked at a server event.
The border closes in on spawn. Far bases get swallowed. Last one standing.
New world. Only badges and titles carry over.
FIG. 4 · rules
Outside spawn, anything vanilla survival allows.
Anything that breaks the game or the server.
Punishments for cheating
FIG. 5 · the store
lumi-smp is free to play. The store sells ranks, themed kits, gear, spawners and Lumens. It runs on five rules.
No netherite, no over-max enchants, no custom items.
Gear, kits, spawners and Lumens unlock later in the season.
Normal death rules. If someone kills you, they get it.
Every store item can be earned through votes or events.
No crates, keys or mystery boxes. You see what you get.
/hat, /craft, /nick, a tag colour and a Discord role.No capes, ever. Lumens stay on lumi-smp: they can't be cashed out or moved to another server.
