Creator SMP 4: Dates, Rules, Players and Where to Watch

CreatorSMP Hardcore 4 is a Minecraft creator survival event scheduled for October 4–25, 2026. The organizers announced a lineup of 90 creators. Start with the official season page and announcements; the announced lineup is not a count of players still alive.

What is Creator SMP 4?

SMP means survival multiplayer. This fourth season brings creators together in a shared Hardcore competition; it is an event to follow through their perspectives, rather than a new Minecraft Edition. The community and most current coverage are Dutch-speaking. Watching a stream does not require choosing Java or Bedrock, and this guide does not establish the event server's client version or cross-play support.

Find the information you actually need

Your question	Start here	What to check
When does the season run?	Official homepage	October 4–25, 2026; check announcements for changes
Who is participating?	Official players directory	Search a creator and check their current status
Who has been eliminated?	Official Deaths page	Current timeline or clips, not an old article's total
Have the rules changed?	Official announcements	The explanation video and subsequent updates
Where can I find official channels?	Official socials directory	Follow links supplied by the organizers

The roster includes Jeremy Frieser, Duncan, Jelly, Pangi, Loony and ClownPierce. These are examples from the directory, not a ranking or a prediction. Use its North/South and status filters instead of assuming an old lineup image is current.

Understand the season's rules before a clip

Game.nl's September 20 overview describes a North/South world division, per-player generated chest loot and a return mechanism for eliminated players. That makes “Hardcore” an incomplete explanation of every outcome: an elimination clip alone does not tell you whether a player can return.

Treat those points as a dated overview. The organizers published their explanation video on September 20 in the announcements feed. Consult it and later announcements for the current rules; this page is not a server configuration recipe.

Watch a creator's perspective

The organizers' October 2 announcement says Twitch now has a CreatorSMP category. Search that category when looking for live perspectives.
Match the channel or creator name against the official players directory. Choose a live broadcast; different creators need not stream at the same time.
For official videos and social updates, use the socials directory. A replay or clip has its own date and may show an earlier state of the competition.

Can ordinary players join or download the world?

As checked on October 5, the official pages linked here did not provide a verified public join address, public seed or world download. Joining the community Discord is not proof of admission to the event server. Follow an organizer's explicit announcement if access or downloads are offered later; a third-party server using a similar name is not automatically the competition server.

Avoid unknown launchers, credential requests or unverified “official map” packages. This guide does not promise a public opening date or event world compatible with Java or Bedrock.

Make a world for your own SMP

If the streams inspire you to build a world with friends, first agree on the Minecraft Edition you use. The MapMC Generator creates a new world from a selected real location: Java ZIP or Bedrock .mcworld. It does not provide the CreatorSMP competition world, event permissions or custom rules.

Keep the original download, import and check a copy, then use the Java server world guide if that is your chosen setup. Validate privately and preserve the current server backup before replacing a world. This is a separate project from joining CreatorSMP.
