Arc recaps and analysis, written from the community wiki’s record of events. Where the record is silent — which is often, particularly on dates — that’s said plainly rather than filled in.

A private Minecraft server where the members write the mods themselves — and where the mods and the story keep turning out to be the same thing. Here's how it works and where to start.
A contract with The Seven, a quiet change to Ancient Debris, and the massacre that followed. The first arc of Content SMP sets up nearly every conflict that comes after it.
A poisoning at a masked party, a bargain with an entity, and a fish used as leverage. The arc where Winsweep stops defending Content SMP and starts collecting grievances.
Contracts with something called The Seven, a bone-and-gold instrument that kills permanently, and a confirmed literary source. A careful look at Content SMP's deepest system — and at how much of it is still unresolved.
There is a canonical order, and it isn't upload order. Here's how the story is actually structured, which arc to start with, and why watching by channel will confuse you.
Creator of the server, author of most of its mods, and the character at the centre of nearly every disaster on it. A look at RAT — and at how often the story treats him as the problem.
Three of Content SMP's most consequential non-player forces are played by the same person. Once you know that, the Charter stops looking like a system and starts looking like an argument.
A revenge attack that went further than intended, a will signed before the fighting started, and a defector who negotiated for protection from something that hadn't arrived yet.
Winsweep threw a party to poison his enemies and take the server. He lost — and the man who died in the crossfire came back with the idea that would conquer it properly.
An ambush that failed, a book of coordinates in a hidden chamber, and a bargain made over an explicit warning. This is where deaths on Content SMP stop being temporary.
RAT and Luxintrus lured three people through a portal that was never supposed to exist and left them there for half a year. The layers, the escape, and what it cost.
With Oceana's fighters stranded in Neverend, Luxintrus took Markhett back. What followed was a manhunt undone by electromagnetism and a duel with two artefacts on the table.
On a server where dying is routine, five deaths stuck. Who they were, what killed them, and why permanence is the currency the whole story is priced in.
RAT destroyed every End Portal except one, told a single person, and let the server tear itself apart over it for four arcs. The longest-running lie on Content SMP, traced end to end.
Half a million downloads, a complete rework of vanilla enchanting — and in the story, it isn't installed. It's found in a library by two people who moved into a stronghold.
Become an ink creature and turn the world black. Outside the story it's a 200,000-download transformation mod. Inside it, RAT and Lux developed it for one purpose: to finish Winsweep.
He arrived selling murder, swore to defend the server, won the fight that mattered, and broke anyway. The full arc of Content SMP's most complete character.
A broken mask, and one person becomes two. The Split is the best-constructed idea on Content SMP — because it externalises a conflict Luxintrus was already having with herself.
Rattenheim, Bonesburrow, Markhett, Oceana, Neverend and the rest — what happened where, and why the map is basically a list of things people took from each other.
A Luxintrus from an aquatic universe hands down an artefact, warns that RAT will end the server, and goes home — leaving her world's doctor4t behind as a pet sea slug.
