How it works

A date, not a conversation that might become one.

Every dating app hands you a chat window and wishes you luck. DateSMP builds you somewhere to go instead.

Before the date

Sort it out in the app.

The part every other dating app stops at. It is over quickly.

  1. 1

    Create an account

    Email, a name, a photo, a town, a line about yourself. Two minutes.

  2. 2

    Match

    A deck of other adults, filtered by what you are each after. Like each other and a conversation opens.

  3. 3

    Agree a time

    One of you asks the other out and picks when. Choosing activities is optional, up to six in order, or leave it to Presenter Mode.

Getting there

Open the Date Room, join the server.

Then stop doing things. The rest happens on its own.

  1. 4

    Open the Date Room

    It shows you both as your Minecraft characters, says what is happening, and handles the mic.

  2. 5

    Join the server

    play.datesmp.com, like any other. Java and Bedrock, same address.

  3. 6

    Get routed in

    The server moves you both into a private world. No code, no command, no invite.

The evening

Play, then decide what happens next.

The server runs it. You just turn up.

  1. 7

    Play

    It sets each activity up, runs it, keeps score where there is one, and moves you on.

  2. 8

    Head back, or leave

    Return to the Date Resort together, or either of you can leave at any point.

  3. 9

    Say how it went

    Two private questions afterwards. The other person never sees your answers.

What you actually do

Twenty activities. Fifteen cooperative, five with a winner.

Each one is a small built world the server sets up and runs. Tap any of them.

Before you start

What you need

  • To be 18 or over

    DateSMP is strictly for adults aged 18 and over.

  • Minecraft, either edition

    Java or Bedrock, one address. Your own lawful copy.

  • A microphone, optional

    Voice is never required. Plenty of good evenings happen in text.
