The United SMP by Dream and QSMP by quackity drama: What you need to know
If you are a fan of Minecraft content creators, you might have heard about the recent drama involving two new SMP servers: the United SMP by Dream and the QSMP by Quackity. Both servers aim to bring together creators from different languages and cultures, but their announcements sparked a controversy among their fanbases. Here is a summary of what happened and what the creators have said about it.
What are the United SMP and the QSMP?
The United SMP (USMP) is a Minecraft server created by Dream, one of the most popular Minecraft YouTubers with over 30 million subscribers. The USMP features 60 content creators covering six different languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Korean. The server also has a custom translation mod that allows players to communicate with each other in real time, regardless of their language.
The QSMP is a similar project created by Quackity, another well-known Minecraft YouTuber with over 6 million subscribers. The QSMP features 16 content creators who speak English and Spanish, and also has a real-time translation feature. The server is meant to be a passion project to bring together the English and Spanish communities.
How did the ‘drama’ start?
The drama started on April 3, 2023, when both Dream and Quackity announced their new SMP servers on Twitter. The timing of these announcements and the conceptual similarities between the two servers led some fans to accuse one or the other of stealing the idea or copying each other. Some fans also felt that the USMP was overshadowing or competing with the QSMP, or vice versa.
What did Dream and Quackity say about it?
Dream was the first to address the drama on April 10, 2023, in a tweet thread. He explained that both servers had been in the works for a while, without either knowing about the other’s project. He said that he had no hard feelings towards quackity and that he loved him to death. He also praised quackity for breaking down the wall for multi-lingual content creation and asked his fans to stop attacking him.
On April 27, 2023, Dream posted another tweet thread, this time revealing more personal details about the situation. He said that he had reached out to quackity multiple times after his announcement, but got no response. He also said that he had received threats, stalking and police involvement from some of quackity’s fans. He clarified that he did not blame quackity for any of this, but he wished he had communicated with him better.
Quackity has not publicly commented on the drama as of yet.
What is the current status of the servers?
Both servers are still active and running, with different content creators joining and playing on them. There is no official confirmation on whether Dream and quackity have resolved their issues or not. However, some fans have noticed that they have interacted with each other on Twitter recently, suggesting that they might have patched things up.
The USMP and the QSMP drama is an example of how online communities can clash over similar ideas or projects. However, it is also an opportunity for creators and fans to learn from each other and appreciate diversity and creativity in the Minecraft space.
