The 4th Asian SMP, 4th SMP, SMP Season 4 was a private, whitelisted survival multiplayer (SMP) played by select members of the Asian Discord server and elsewhere. The server was the 4th attempt after the previous efforts lasted a combined five months. The 4th SMP took a more straightforward approach without a server-wide government, except for the Security Council. The 4th SMP began on June 19th, 2023.
After day one, the first conflict arose. Once the conflict eased, most of the server remained active in June 2023. At the turn of July, inactivity became frequent. Eventually, it came to a point by which the SMP became BBLB_YT's single-player world. As a result, the 4th SMP was discontinued on December 2nd, 2023.
The SMP currently had ~25 players whitelisted. The 4th SMP had the largest number of whitelisted players compared to previous attempts.
The 4th SMP had general rules accessed via /rules and enforced by a few moderators.
