Our biggest and best gamemode, the SMP is where it all began. TrueOG's founders were once players on a server which announced a map reset and a general shift away from the "OG" gameplay meta.
We revolted against their bad choices by buying the map, splitting from the original server, and making the worlds into our own. We rebuilt the old SMP's features from the ground up, fixing many bugs, opening up the code to the community, and enhancing the experience wherever possible.
Our SMP has grown into its own, preserving the incredible history of the original worlds, enabling a unique, yet familiar meta that evokes memories of 2011-2013 community-run SMP servers.
OG means more to us than "not being pay-to-win". OG is about maintaining and building upon what we loved about SMP servers back in the day. A simple, robust economy. Competative, fast-paced PvP. Worlds that become richer and more fun to explore as the versions go by, giving players a sense of deep time and community. The TrueOG Meta is more "OG" than OG:SMP and more anarchistic than anarchy. Here, you are truly free to play however you want, on a fair playing field. No bots. No hacks. There's nothing quite like it in Minecraft, or any other game for that matter.
Unlike some other servers, we don't believe in leaving our loyal players in the dust with no support. There are good reasons many people continue to use Minecraft 1.8. From performance, to combat, to mods. If you are one of them, welcome home! Here you will experience being treated like a first class citizen. We have working fishing rods, ladders, lily pads, and brewing stands. All potions work on 1.8 at their correct durations. Builds at spawn have been optimized for 1.8 block appearance. You can even craft enchanted golden apples!
TrueOG utilizes the 1.8 style PvP/PvE system with NO click-delay. We believe this model is vastly superior to 1.9+ combat. It's quicker, more intense, and has a longer, more fulfilling skill ladder. Mojang is well aware of the new system's flaws, which is why they haven't added it to Bedrock. The experimental combat snapshot also eliminates the click-delay, and we will consider switching to those new mechanics once they are rolled out in a future version of Minecraft. Until that time we are committed to supporting 1.8 combat.
TrueOG is run by a dedicated Socialist and open source advocate. As such, the server is published to GitHub in its entirety. Original code uses The Unlicense, meaning it is released into the public domain for any purpose, commercial or personal, for free, forever. The code for community projects utilized by TrueOG is linked to on GitHub. Their respective terms must be followed. The only proprietary part of TrueOG is our post-launch map and seed. This is to prevent coordinates and bases from being compromised.

The pre-launch OG:SMP Season 1 world is available for personal use only. Our license to use the maps commercially is non-transferable, and the post-launch TrueOG maps will not be published during the lifetime of the server.
The archive is about 171 GB. While the torrent server is down, use the direct download; the magnet link will work again once it is back and seeding.
Q: Where did TrueOG come from?
A: TrueOG is a community SMP based on the OG:SMP Season 1 map by players who disagreed with the map reset and the direction of the server away from the "OG" meta.
Q: What version of Minecraft is the terrain generated in?
A: Terrain from spawn to 40k is 1.16.5. Terrain from 40k to 80k is 1.17.1. Terrain from 80k to 96k is 1.18.2. Terrain from 96k to 112k is 1.19.4. The Nether border is at 14k, and the End border is at 30 million, as always. The world border is expanded for each major update with new chunks.
Q: How do I navigate the spawn and community marketplace?
A: Market Map
Q: How does the economy work?
A: Like 2011-2013 era SMP servers, the TrueOG economy is based on diamonds. Unlike Essentials money, they are a tangible object with a limited supply. As the universal currency, they combat inflation and facilitate fair, understandable transactions. /pay sends another player the specified amount of diamonds. /withdraw takes the specified amount of diamonds out of your bank account and places them into your inventory. /deposit works the other way around. Diamonds stored in your inventory or at the bank will count towards your balance, which can be checked with /balance. The bank is located to the right of the community marketplace entryway.
