🌎 Gumdum SMP Add-On Set
The Gumdum SMP page describes the collection of non-Hardcore Gumdum add-ons used together on the SMP server.
It is not one standalone product named “Gumdum SMP.” The SMP server is the stage; the individual add-ons are the actors. Occasionally one of them forgets its cue because Bedrock updated. 🎭
Current SMP Add-On Direction
| Module | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 🏡 Land Claim | Protect player builds and manage trusted players |
| 🪦 Gravesite | Provide best-effort chest-and-marker death recovery |
| Gumdum Town Hall | Community services and future civic/economy features |
| Other non-Hardcore modules | Added as they become ready and are approved for the SMP world |
Shared Player Experience
Installed Gumdum add-ons use the shared launcher pattern:
Open Gumdum Realm Book
→ Gumdum Add-Ons
→ Choose an installed module
→ Use that module’s own menu
Each module owns its own gameplay rules and local data. The Realm Book helps players find tools without becoming a giant central control system wearing a paper crown. 👑📖
🛏️ SMP Sleep Rule
The SMP server requires approximately 30% of online players to sleep before night is skipped.
| Players Online | Sleepers Needed |
|---|---|
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 7 | 3 |
| 10 | 3 |
| 15 | 5 |
| 20 | 6 |
“Need one more sleeper!” is the unofficial SMP national anthem.

Local-World-First Design
SMP add-ons are designed so core gameplay continues without depending on external services.
- Local world state remains gameplay truth
- Website features may display imported information later
- API or website outages must not disable claims, graves, or normal gameplay
- Add-ons should remain independently usable whenever practical
- No pay-to-win, gambling, loot boxes, or paid gameplay power
Add-On Placement Rule
Hardcore server:
Install Gumdum Hardcore only.
SMP server:
Install approved non-Hardcore Gumdum add-ons.
Gumdum Hardcore is not part of the normal SMP add-on set.
Player-Friendly Boundaries
Land Claim
Land Claim protects common build interactions where Bedrock Script API events allow it. Some advanced fluid, piston, fire, and entity edge cases still require validation.
Gravesite
Gravesite recovery is best-effort in the current Alpha lane. A grave record and marker may exist even when Bedrock does not expose the inventory safely enough to store every item.
Town Hall and Future Modules
Some menus may represent early foundations or placeholders. A visible menu is not proof that every planned economy, job, website, or integration feature is active.
🧠 Translation: If a button says “coming later,” clicking harder does not accelerate software development.
Validation Rules
Each Alpha release should be tested in a fresh Bedrock world. Packaging and static checks do not prove:
- World import
- Realm Book behavior
- Multiplayer permissions
- Death recovery
- Claim protection
- Realm compatibility
- Persistence across restarts
