Aeronautics SMP

Aeronautics SMP marked a historic milestone for Lumia Creators by becoming its first series aimed entirely at the English-speaking audience, born from the creative vision of Sardin4 and developed by the Lumia team. The series combined a complex technological progression with a deep narrative and immersive roleplay that captivated the audience during a month of constant evolution.

The Technical Aspect and the Lumia Launcher

Aeronautics SMP was not only a narrative challenge but also a monumental technical one. This was the first series to officially integrate the Lumia Launcher, a key tool for the event’s ecosystem. The launcher allowed developers to add and protect client mods from external modifications, offer optional configurations (such as custom graphical settings and optimizations), and facilitate seamless modpack updates for all participants without requiring technical knowledge.

The heart of the series was the Create mod, accompanied by an astonishing figure of up to 28 addons, most notably Create: Aeronautics and Create Big Cannons. To unify this immense load and enhance the series, an exclusive custom mod was developed, integrating specific functions and vital tools for the plot’s development.

The Lumia Creators team performed exhaustive optimization work, solving complex compatibility issues and fixing critical physics bugs to stabilize server performance. This immense technical effort allowed the creation of complex machinery, airplanes, cars, and massive flying ships to be a fully functional reality for the streamers.

Community Events and Roleplay Support

Beyond the main storyline, Lumia Creators actively supported the creation of organic content through internal events organized by the players themselves. Among these were a talent show, a tribunal to resolve complaints and disputes, house rating dynamics, and a community gallery, driven by the integration of a mechanic that allowed players to take photographs in-game and document their adventures.

The administration team also provided visual and narrative tools to enrich the roleplay. This included the implementation of custom 3D models for the roleplay pigs, giving them a unique and expressive visual identity. Furthermore, special custom mechanisms were built, such as an intriguing machine designed to erase memories, which added a lot of play to the individual stories of the creators.

Story and Roleplay

The lore of Aeronautics SMP unfolded over four weeks, transforming a seemingly peaceful server into an epic battlefield for freedom.

The Reign of King Oinkington

At the beginning of the series, players focused on learning the technological mechanics and establishing their bases. During this period, a mysterious group of pink pigs, led by King Oinkington and his loyal followers (Robbig, Oinkee, Tamz, Caly, Stanley, and Riley), introduced themselves to the community. Far from being an obvious tyrant in his early days, the King organized different games and greatly enjoyed interacting with and getting to know the players during the first week to earn their trust and build the kingdom of Oinktopia.

However, even from that first week, some players began to doubt him and positioned themselves against his kingdom due to certain questionable actions that hinted at his true intentions.

Sardina’s Coma and the Revelation

As tension mounted, Sardina became a target. Just before the final stretch, she was brutally attacked by the King and fell into a coma. During this critical state, the scholar Pock helped her and kept her safe. When Sardina finally woke up, she did so with fewer memories than usual, but it was in this final week that she discovered the great truth that would change everything: she was the true queen and the throne had been usurped from her.

The ultimate breaking point occurred when the King’s secret diary was discovered, revealing his hidden dictatorship and the existence of five special artifacts hidden in dangerous dungeons. The players, divided into groups and guided by the staff, explored treacherous ruins filled with traps to gather these artifacts and discover an ancient spell capable of defeating the tyrant.

The Great War: Giant Warden and Wither Rage

Infuriated by the rebellion, King Oinkington officially declared war and took command of a colossal flying warship alongside Robbig. The final battle was an unprecedented technological display.

The King unleashed his entire arsenal by summoning two fearsome final bosses: the Giant Warden and the Wither Rage. To counter this massive threat, the community united and fought using their own airplanes, cars, custom ships, and heavy artillery built with Create’s cannons.

The Banishment

After an intense and destructive battle, the players managed to defeat the bosses and collapse the King’s ship. Cornered and terrified to see that the humans knew the spell for his weakness, the King surrendered.

The players united to recite the ancient spell, stripping him completely of all his magical powers. Now without any authority or strength, the community made the ultimate decision: they took away his powers and banished him from the world forever, finally freeing Oinktopia from his tyranny.
