Nevermind SMP becomes Cairn SMP

Version 1.4 · August 11, 2026

Server name change

Nevermind SMP is now Cairn SMP.
The new server address is play.cairnsmp.com.
The rebrand creates room to welcome more regular players alongside the friends and guildmates who play seasonally.
Cairn SMP remains first and foremost a server by Eadrom for friends, Nevermind guildmates, and friends-of-friends.
Nothing was reset. Builds, claims, inventories, and player progress remain.
Players should log in at least once a year to keep claims active.
Work began on this website to provide changelogs, commands, and a lightweight player handbook.

Stat Gear grants AuraSkills stats such as Strength and Luck and can rarely drop from hostile mobs in all three dimensions.
Tools and weapons are mob-themed. Armor affixes are biome-themed, with rare biomes offering stronger affixes.
Gear scales across 10 bands from level 1–100. Higher-level mobs drop better gear.
Bosses always drop one level 100 item from a special boss pool, with a small chance to drop a second item.

Updated server software and plugins. This release requires Minecraft Java Edition 26.2.
Hostile mobs now scale to level 100 based on AuraSkills power and distance from spawn.
Levelled Mobs moved to Gold Challenge. Mobs below level 50 are weaker, making the area near spawn less dangerous.
Mob-name colors now match Stat Gear quality using familiar rarity colors.
Wardens, Withers, and Ender Dragons always spawn at level 100. Bring friends and come prepared.

Strength damage decreased from 0.4% to 0.25% per point.
Toughness damage reduction increased from 0.3% to 0.34% per point.
Enchanted Strength decreased from 0.5 to 0.25 per enchant level.
Axe Master, Sword Master, Bow Master, First Strike, and Bleed were reduced in power.
Lightning Blade was redesigned, and ability progression was rebalanced to provide more benefit earlier.
Shielding and Immunity received small improvements.
