Smithed Summit 2026

The Smithed Summit is a two-week-long data pack convention held on a Minecraft server. During the event, you're able to check out handcrafted showcase booths, meet skilled creators from various communities, participate in informative panels, playtest maps, find collectibles, play games, listen to an original note block soundtrack, and explore the interactive world.

⚠️ Vanilla Server
This mod pack is optional, and is not required to experience any of the Summit.

It runs from August 8th to August 22nd, 2026. Players can join at any time during the convention. Check the event schedule for more activities! Live events are strewn across the convention's tenure.

Being a data pack convention, the Summit is totally compatible with vanilla Minecraft! This mod pack provides optimization tweaks tailored for the server, and is not required to experience the Summit.

What's happening

What's the good cheap fun at the Smithed Summit?

Post-conclusion

Will I be able to play on the Summit world after the convention is over?

The Summit world will be included in this very mod pack! Being a vanilla compatible convention, anybody will be able to load up and play on the Summit world.

Invite friends and experience the convention in your own time. Play every game. Collect all the plushies, stickers, and balloons. Find all the secrets. Locate all of the Starwalkers. Show everything to Beetrice.

Panel events, due to their live nature, can't be included in a singleplayer world. However, all events will be recorded and uploaded to the Smithed YouTube channel, alongside Summit 2024's panels as well.

Modded content

If the Summit is "vanilla", why are there mods in this mod pack? Isn't the whole point of the Summit that it's not modded?

Indeed! None of these mods are required to join the Summit.

The Summit world, due to it in fact relying on vanilla features and pushing it to their limits, is quite resource intense. The majority of mods included in this mod pack attempt to optimize the game so that the Summit can be accessible to all. This includes but is not limited to:

• Async Particles
• Entity Culling
• quick pack
• Sodium

Additionally, this pack is designed so that players can join the Summit effortlessly. The following mods speed up that process:

• #MyServer ("Join Server" button)
• Skip Transitions (jump right in)

These are the only mods that may diverge from some definitions of "vanilla". They are meant to enhance a player's experience on the Summit without feeling out-of-place:

• Simple Voice Chat (socialize with others)
• Simple Fog Control (pleasent ambiance for...)
• Voxy (see the entire Summit world)

The following mods have not been included, but can be added if desired:

• Zoom mod (we hand out spyglasses)
• Sodium Extra

Again, none of these mods are required in any way. They're highly recommended, yet entirely optional. Anybody can join the Summit from an unmodded 26.2 client!
