Writing
Prior to the creation of L'Manberg, the storyline of the SMP was not scripted. After L'Manberg's creation and to the current date, the Dream SMP became comprised of "scripted improvisation," where major plot points are pre-planned and the rest of the story improvised.

Wilbur Soot was the head writer for the L'Manberg Independence Arc and the Manberg Rebellion Arc. He also received help from others (particularly Dream, who served as a secondary story writer for the Pogtopia vs Manberg arc) and wrote with the respective creators' input. On November 16, 2020, after Wilbur's character officially died in the Manberg-Pogtopia War, Wilbur announced that he was temporarily stepping down to focus on personal projects.

Although many plot points are scripted, sometimes they do not play out as planned and the creators improvise instead, as seen during the Manberg Festival.

"There were a lot of surprises and a lot of stuff changed as improv happened. One I'll give away was how Techno was NOT supposed to use a firework and murder Schlatt and Quackity in crossfire ahahah

Ended up being pretty cool though and we rolled with it"

The three lives system did not exist during the L'Manberg Independence and Manberg Rebellion Arcs; Wilbur introduced it later on (after he had already stepped down as head writer). Creators determine whether or not deaths are canon based on their relevance to the plot, and often joke about how canon unplanned or accidental deaths are. On December 4, 2020, Wilbur released a Reddit post with the number of lives every character had.

Following Wilbur's announcement that he was stepping down from the head writer position, on December 3, 2020, Technoblade revealed on stream that he would be writing part of the script. Dream later clarified in a comment on Tik Tok that Techno was writing specifically for his character. Dream, Quackity, and Tommy would work on the major post-Manberg story arc, with input from Wilbur, Fundy, Tubbo, and other members.

On January 30, 2021, Ranboo stated during a non-lore stream that each creator is writing their own character's main story. He also reconfirmed that the writing process was collaborative.

On February 21, 2021, Dream stated on Twitter that he and Tommy were the ones who wrote about Tommy's current prison predicament, and have already fleshed out the plot. Dream further talked about this on the Eboy's Podcast saying that some of the events were written months in advance while others were almost a day before the decision.

Bloopers
Although the events and overarching story are planned out in advance, there are still mishaps and funny moments that come out of every event, which has lead to many memorable and funny bloopers.

Trivia

 * The world seed for the first world is 5826025064014972987. The second world seed is currently unknown.
 * The world’s difficulty is set to Easy.
 * Prior to TommyInnit joining, Dream SMP was just a survival multiplayer world for the Dream Team and their friends.
 * The plugin used by members to place images throughout the server is ImageOnMap.
 * The Dream SMP has its own official Subreddit which can be found here.
 * Although the first part of the Caves & Cliffs update to Minecraft: Java Edition (version 1.17) was released on June 8, 2021, the Dream SMP server skipped 1.17. Instead, the server was updated to the later update to version 1.18 when it was released on November 30, 2021.
 * To allow for the new generation, a separate world was generated on the same server. Players can move between worlds via a portal constructed out of crying obsidian, and player data such as items and experience are transferred upon changing worlds. More info could be found here.
 * Since October 21, 2021, Dream officially unbanned the creation of automated farms of any kind to be built on the server such as iron, gold, and villager farms.
 * The server uses EST/EDST as its time zone.
 * For more information about creator/SMP-specific vocabulary see: Dream SMP Phrases.
 * Many important events have fallen on the 16th day of each month, and it is widely regarded as an important day on the SMP by the community. These events are no longer collaborative after the final destruction of L'Manberg and have shifted to individual streams. Collaborative events that took place on the 16th are as follows:
 * Manberg Festival, creation of the Badlands - October 16, 2020
 * Manberg vs Pogtopia War, dethronement of Eret - November 16, 2020
 * Technoblade's execution - December 16, 2020
 * Further events have been associated with the 16th by the community, but are not analogous to these original events due to lack of collaborative effort:
 * Dream leaving a note for Tommy, disappearance of Tommy's Cat disc from under Ranboo's house - January 16, 2021
 * The Big Innit Hotel reveal, discovery and settlement of Big Daddy Island - February 16, 2021
 * Ranboo's Enderwalk ARG, Quackity's quest to get the Book of Necromancy begins, destruction of El Rapids - March 16, 2021
 * The server uses custom plugins to enhance lore and give players special powers.
 * The Egg damages players when they attempt to mine it. After Quackity's attempt to blow the egg up, the egg regenerates with crying obsidian when damaged.
 * Ranboo's fists have the Silk Touch effect.
 * Due to how beds are programmed, two beds every time Ranboo breaks a bed with his fist.
 * Ranboo can "regenerate" cakes by mining them with this fist since it drops the cake item.
 * The Silk Touch allows him to pick spawners up. However, it returns a pig spawner instead of the spawner he mined.
 * Foolish Gamers has an undying power similar to the effect of a player holding a Totem of Undying.
