Over the last few years, SMP servers have taken the Minecraft world by storm, making it possible for hundreds of people to play together.

Dream Survival-Multiplayer, also known as Dream SMP, is a private multiplayer server known for its heavy improvisational plot and history of alliances, factions, and characters.

There are three ways to play multiplayer in Minecraft: Java Edition, two of which are free. You can join a public server, create your own, or purchase a Minecraft Realm.
