Roleplay (RP) or Semi-RP: which Minecraft mode to choose?
Two popular ways to play Minecraft in multiplayer. Here is how they differ, who each one suits, and the servers players vote for the most this month.
| Criterion | 🎭 Roleplay (RP) | 🏘️ Semi-RP |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | Slow, immersion | Steady, day-to-day town life |
| PvP | Depends on the story and the rules | Framed (zones or events) |
| Team play | Community, roles | Towns, jobs, mutual help |
| Progression | Your character and their story | Jobs, money, a growing town |
Choose Roleplay (RP) if…
… you like playing a character, following a universe and living stories with other players.
Play a character and live a story: on roleplay servers every player has a role, a job and a place in the server world. Ideal if you love immersion and living towns.
Choose Semi-RP if…
… you want a more social survival, with jobs, a player economy and a town to bring to life, without strict roleplay rules.
Semi-RP combines the freedom of survival with roleplay elements: jobs, towns, a player economy, without strict immersion rules. A good balance for community play.
