The reunion, at long last...

After a long break, SMP Sundays is ready to return. Instead of reinventing the wheel, Season 9 addresses the concerns players had in previous releases as we rebuild the community altogether.
Voice chat has arrived to SMP Sundays! Whether you are out adventuring or simply hanging out, you can now connect closer to the people around you.
Cooperation and friendly banter from all members will allow the community to thrive on newfound motivation and adventure.
We understand some players wish to simply play the game at their own pace while still being able to achieve what others do as well. Season 9 will introduce time-gated dimensions to ensure players take advantage of the overworld first, before fully reaping in the benefits of the Nether and eventually exploiting the end.
Season 9 will also give all players the opportunity to obtain a dragon egg via a modified drop table for the Ender Dragon.
SMP Sundays Season 9 will support Minecraft 1.19.3. Take flight from new heights, explore the new terrain and go diving in luscious caves filled with new secrets.

How is this different from previous seasons?
Season 9 marks the beginning of the end for the project. As part of our effort to improve the experience for all players, we are bringing everyone closer and will foster a healthy and cooperative community who appreciates each other. Instead of reinventing the wheel, we want this season to be an easy transition from a competition oriented community to a healthy, supportive one.
What version of Minecraft will Season 9 support?
Season 9 will support for 1.19.3. Future support is planned in a future patches. Due to chat-signing, forward compatibility is no longer possible.
Is voice chat mandatory to play on the server?
No, you are still able to play regardless of whether you perform third-party modifications to your client to install voice chat. It is highly encouraged to do so to take advantage of this new way of communicating which will make gameplay more immersive and socially interactive.
Will Season 9 support cross-play?
Absolutely not! Cross-platform support adds unnecessary complications to our update process and will hinder quality updates in the future. Past seasons have shown how cross-platform support ends dividing players and leaves them at a disadvantage. Voice chat is also not available on mobile platforms.
Where can I play Season 9?
Our server runs on the Java edition of Minecraft, and is thus supported on all desktop operating systems.
Where are all the changes?
At the surface level, Season 9 doesn't look like much. Most of the changes will come to the community as a whole and the attitude shared by players. Simple changes such as voice chat will spark new player experiences.
What server software is being used?
Our current development server is made to run PaperMC, and will launch with it. We are currently experimenting with a possible Fabric server and will provide more details if a transition is to occur.
